Snow Removal

We love the storm alerts and information we get with Jays GPS equipped trucks. The email we get when they are at the house is also a great feature. We have used other snow plow services and they are not reliable. Green Side Up Contracting are reliable and do a great job.

We have also used them for landscaping projects and cant say enough about their work.

Jays the best

Back Patio Makeover

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.

Backyard Makeover

We are very pleased with the work Jay and his team did in re-making our backyard. They listened to our ideas and offered suggestions. They kept us up to date and were quick to respond before, during and after the project. Most importantly, the final product is fantastic - the new fence, patio and refresh to the back steps all look great.

Front entry steps and Flake stone covering porch

Landscaping

Green Side Up was a random call for us after searching Landscapers on the Home Stars web site. Jay immediately returned our call and he did not waste any time coming to meet us in person to talk about our needs. It did not take more than the one meeting for us to know that he understood our needs and had the skills and knowledge to get the job done. Jay stayed with us through the entire project, showing up on our doorstep whenever we had questions about design or process. His team was friendly, efficient, always arrived when they were expected and provided quality workmanship. Jay and his team worked to expedite our project in these busy summer months and the work was done very quickly without inconvenience to us. We would highly recommend Green Side Up, so much so that we had them back again a month later to help us with some backyard work! Their work is stunning we are so pleased, my kids were very sad to see Jay and his special little puppy go so we will have to find something for them to do for us next summer!

Awe! Thank you J.H

You and your husband were a pleasure work for and your kids are awesome and maybe I can count on them if we need a puppy sitter for Fleetwood lol.

Thank you for your kind words and referring us to your neighbour. Let me know in winter if you want to move forward with your poolside deck.

Thanks again!

Backyard patio

It was a pleasure having Green Side Up complete my backyard patio. Jay did a great job offering ideas for the project, and his whole team was very accommodating throughout the process. The patio looks great, and I am finally able to enjoy my backyard.
I look forward to doing the front porch next year!

Top notch quality work with great office and field team

I had a section of my fence replaced in August 2016. It was a pleasure to deal with Jay the owner. No nit picking about minor variation from original plan. He certainly set a high standard which really cascades down to the field team which include another Jay, Daniel and Jason as well as the office team Ada and Bridget. I receive constant updates on the status of the job and professional and courteous answer to every question I asked. Most importantly, the final product and quality was just as Jay has promised. No surprise there. I believe mine is relatively a very small job but the team's attention to detail was truly inspiring. My neighbors place their trust in me to find a good contractor and I am glad I convince them to choose Jay in spite of cheaper quotes from other contractors. I should thank the other users of HomeStars for their reviews which are extremely helpful with my selection process.

Landscape retaining wall

From day one Jay was extremely knowledgeable and realistic giving me guidance on what I wanted done. He was very reasonable and accommodating to various things that happened throughout the project. I trusted him and his teams ability to complete the job while we were out of town. It was wonderful to come back and see exactly what we have envisioned. He even went above and beyond to move extra material we were not expecting to have, at no additional cost. We look forward to recommending jay and his team to friends and family. Thanks for your open communication and your great work.
