My backyard patio was looking very tired and the builder's concrete slabs were cracking and uneven and I had tons of weeds growing in between the slabs. Green Side Up came to the rescue and transformed it in a few days! Jay, the owner, came up with some ideas and suggestions for materials and then the crew went to work. I was very pleased with the professionalism and hard work of the crew, which included Jordan, Gabe, Devon and Shawn. They worked to schedule under extremely hot and challenging conditions and under Jordan's close supervision, the job was completed without a hitch. When we found that a corner of the patio left the soil level slightly higher on the flower bed side, Jay suggested we build a low retaining wall, which was not part of the original plan but it turned out to be, not only the perfect solution, but it was also visually appealing - a bonus. I was pleased with the transformation from boring concrete slabs to beautiful pavers by Permacon. If you're looking for a reputable and reliable contractor, look no further, you will be pleased with an extremely high level of workmanship and work ethics. From the planning of the project to the choice of materials and the skilled labour put into it, everything went smoothly and I was happy I chose Green Side Up. I would not hesitate to use them again to redo my front porch and walkway down the road.

I have been using Green Side Up for property maintenance and highly recommend this company for your lawncare and snow removal needs. Jay, the owner, is very passionate about delivering exceptional customer service - he is always prompt to respond to calls and is a pleasure to deal with. He makes sure to communicate with his customers regularly, especially in the winter months with weather/storm updates. Grant and his crew have done an awesome job this summer with the grass maintenance and they always leave with the property looking clean and well manicured. In the fall, I needed the top of my spruce tree pruned but Grant exceeded my expectations by giving the tree a really good shaping overall! Last but not least, Jay gives back to the community by supporting the local food bank each year and has also responded to charitable and community causes, which is highly commendable. I have seen some of Green Side Up's great landscape construction work and will definitely consider them for a future patio project.

Hi Beejay,

Thank you for your positive feedback. Your loyalty over the past few years to GSU is greatly appreciated. Grants 'leading by example" style has clearly worn off on the crew he leads. The end results are clear.

I had an opportunity to use Lifestyle Oasis (which is the new company name) on 2 occasions. The first one was to overlay vinyl siding over the front of the house where the wood was starting to disintegrate - I was very pleased with the effort put into the project by the team in order to match the colour of the siding to the existing paint. There were some initial issues but George Hughes immediately came over and resolved with the contractor. The second project was to replace my existing sliding door with a sliding French door style patio door. My dealings with George Hughes on both occasions were smooth and George was very helpful and knew exactly what I was looking for in terms of look, quality etc. While I do need some extra caulking around the patio door (come spring time), I am confident that with their level of customer service, this will be accomplished to my satisfaction. I need to make special mention of Judy, who works in the office - she is very helpful and returned my calls and answered my questions with a lot of patience and clarity.
