We are living in a new builder development area. The original grass was dying, the front yard was being taken over by weeds and the backyard was left to be desired. To say the least, the outdoor areas needed a little "sprucing up." After checking Home Stars and seeing the great reviews we felt comfortable enough to contact Jay at Green Side Up. He was very fast and quick to return my call and within a week he came to visit our property to assess the project and discuss ideas. After the first meeting, we had several additional questions, new ideas and thoughts, which we felt were best illustrated by having Jay return back to our property. He never complained and always made the time to revisit to make us feel as comfortable as possible about the project. The project included sodding of new grass, removing the old clay and replacing it with fresh soil, replacing the existing garden in front of the house with a new design the incorporated the driveway, replacing the standard tiles in the backyard with upgraded tiles, building a berm, replacing the standard concrete steps in the backyard with stone steps and planting various new plants and grasses. Jay and his crew were very courteous, kind and a pleasure to have, while they were working. During the project time, we could not be home for a day or two but Jay would provide us with updated pictures on the progress to make sure we were informed and it made us feel like we were right there. Once the project was completed, the area was well cleaned, tidied up and the landscape was manicured. Now we have an outdoor area that we are very proud of to come home to and to relax in the backyard. We would certainly recommend Green Side Up to any of our friends and family and will be contacting him again for any future projects.

John painted my entire 2 bedroom condominium, this included walls, trim and doors. His calm reassuring nature made me feel very comfortable having him do work in my residence. As a single female you have no idea how important that was for me. He also made many other repairs that I could not possibly have done myself. He replaced several light fixtures, repaired the drain in bathroom sink and put up shower curtain rods. He was professional, meticulous and finished in a timely manner, I would not only use him again I will recommend him to all my friends and family. Thanks so much for making my first experience with a contractor such a positive one.
