Beautiful pool oasis and more!

I can’t say enough about how thrilled we are with our backyard transformation. It went from an old sagging deck and mainly unusable space to a stunning oasis for my family. Jay and his crew were amazing every step of the way. Their carpentry was top notch and they built us a gorgeous deck and pool cabana but the “crowning glory” is our awesome pool. We chose the St Lucia model and the install went so smoothly. jay and his team offered several recommendations for the stone around the pool and I’m so glad we went with their suggestions. Everyone who has come by comments on the gorgeous stone we chose. jay’s crew was so lovely - polite, unbelievably hard working and they take real pride in their work. The foreman Matt was a real pro - he ran his team and site like clockwork. You can see how well we got along from our final picture together. As a homeowner I’ve dealt with many contractors and I can honestly say none has been so responsive and transparent as Jay. He answered every message from me almost immediately and if he didn’t have the answer he always said he would get back to me as soon as he knew the answer and he did just that - every time. Our project required a lot of trust in Jay and his company and we were not disappointed. He and his crew also re-did our front driveway interlock and our house looks brand new. Our family was in the pool non stop from the day it was completed and loved every minute of it. The local pool service/supply company came by today to close it and they were blown away by the job Jay had done. The technician said it was one of the best pool projects he has seen (and obviously they see a lot). Thank you so much Jay and Greenside Up for turning our backyard into an oasis we never want to leave.

Hi Lori,

On behalf of the entire team, thank you so very much for putting your trust in Green Side Up. As you know this is something I take very seriously.

Your project was a fun, challenging and very interesting project to work on. It was very gratifying for us all to take your back yard and turn it to a beautiful oasis!! The pictures will end up in the centre of an industry magazine, come late winter.

You were SUPER AWESOME to work with, and I sincerely thank you for your business, your support, your trust and for referring us to your close friend!

Regards,

Jay Saveall

Replace fence

After Jay and team completed my backyard patio in the spring, I had them back to replace the fence along the side of my house. They were able to replace the fence, including 5 posts and a gate, in just one day. And it turned out great!

Backyard Makeover

The entire team did a great job. We had the existing structure demolished and a new stone patio, pergola and fence added. Some of the nicest stonework I have seen. Pictured below is the stone inlay. (Matt likes a challenge.) They were quick to address and correct any small issues. If you are going to do a big project, don't cheap out. A retaining wall or weeping tile can make a huge difference. If you have challenges in the future, chances are that's the price you pay when you don't pay full price. Having a team like Green Side Up that understands how the materials will behave, will certainly increase the longevity and beauty of your investment.

Mr. Jameson,

Since the first time I met you and Tina, last October, through the winter and into early spring while talking through the final architectural designs, I knew that this project was going to be a fun project and more importantly, I knew that you both were going to be great people to work with!!

Here is a short video I took of your project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IndzStuOcII

On behalf of Matt and team, we want to thank you very much for your hospitality and generosity while building your project, and I personally want to thank you very much for putting your trust into the Green Side Up Contracting team, and I also wanted to thank you very much for your kind words and for your business.

Perhaps you will invite us back in 2018 to install Tina's dream pool ;-)

Front yard fence

Green Side Up team have done an excellent job. I asked for a quote for a front yard wooden fence (closer into the property). They gave a good price as compared to the other companies. I really like the design of the fence. Zach did a great job. The fence was built in a few days. The front yard was very clean. There wasn't any mess from building the new fence. Thanks!

Interlock patio small area fill in with steps

We were scheduled with Jay in spring to have work done early to mid August. Due to weather, they were behind, but somehow, they caught up and started my job as per original time line. Jay and his staff were courteous and easy to communicate with. His staff worked hard to find interlock bricks to match my decade old ones that are discontinued and did a great job. Overall, it was a good experience.

Front Porch flagstone, Front Yard Landscaping, Driveway repaved, Back Yard Patio

A fantastic company to deal with. Jay advised we use Margarita ,a landscape architect , who drew scale plans for us. Tarah the customer care contact kept us informed all along re scheduling of our project. Matt the crew foreman and his team were amazing, neat , professional and cleaned up each day on our property and the road in front of our house. Upon completion, we noticed a few areas of concern, so we e-mailed Tarah and within a week Matt came by and adjusted the areas of our concern. Jay is hands on , coming by many times to check as the work was being done, as well as once completed.
We highly recommend Jay and GreenSideUp!!!

Overall Excellent Service & Quality: Building Backyard Deck

Overall Jay and his team provided excellent service and delivered quality workmanship. My family and I are really satisfied with our entirely new built backyard deck.

Green Side Up Contracting was our top choice among a short list of highly reputable firms:
- Jay and his team were responsive and transparent and kept us up to date throughout the project.
- They took to time to educate us and provide design ideas on our project. We previously had no deck.
- The builders were meticulous and kept the job site clean.
- Jay QAs the entire project and rebuilds anything that is not up to company standards.

I would highly recommend Green Side Up Contracting and will definitely hire them to rebuild my aging front porch.

Backyard Fence

We hired Green Side Up to complete the wooden fencing in our backyard. Jay came over to discuss the project scope and other projects on our wishlist; he's a great sounding board and very easy to work with. Thanks to all the rainy weather it took longer than expected to get the work done, but Tarah in Customer Care checked in with us regularly to update us on their schedule. When our turn came Zach completed the job quickly and efficiently - just a couple of days - and fully cleaned up after himself. Jay followed up a few days later, and quickly resolved a small issue we had due to warping wood. Overall the workmanship was excellent, and we're very satisfied with Green Side Up!
