Replace backyard wood fence

Jay was very responsive and easy to deal with. We were worried about all kinds of perennials and roses we have right up against the fence possibly being stomped on. We didn't need to worry, as the crew was extremely careful and there wasn't even the slightest damage. Most importantly, they did great quality work too. My high expectations were exceeded in all areas. Highly recommended.

Front yard and walkway

We hired Jay and his team to demo our concrete walkway and wooden retaining walls and replace them with interlock and Armour stone. Although there were several delays before the work actually began, once it was started it moved along quickly and we are very happy with the completed work. As no one was at home during the day when the work was being done, Jay kept us informed of the progress with frequent texts, photos and videos. This was much appreciated. The project did run into a potentially major issue right at the end but Jay went over and above expectations to ensure that we were satisfied customers. Thank you very much Green Side Up!

Hi Mark,

Thank you very much for your feedback and for your support.

Reflecting back to last fall when we constructed your project, and the issue we encountered with the gas line being way too close to grade, I still get shivers. Sometimes the locates can even be incorrect.

I was grateful for your patience back then and I thank you again for letting us handle the situation through completion!

In closing, thank you for putting your trust into Green Side Up Contracting and I'm glad we met or exceeded your expectations.

Enjoy your summer.

Regards,

AMAZING Backyard Transformation!!!

We recently moved into our first house and loved everything about it-- except the backyard. It had been neglected for years and was just a mess. We called Jay and he quickly came out to take a look, walked us through our options and provided a thorough quote. Jay is personable, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Despite the poor start to the season (ice storm!) his team managed to complete a full backyard reno--large deck, fence, and sod/landscaping-- within the very specific time frame we were working with.

A big shout-out to Zach who did an amazing job creating our dream backyard! Neighbours have already been complimenting us on the craftsmanship of our new fence and deck. The quality of everything he did far surpassed our expectations. He also took the time to walk us through many aspects of the project, gave great advice and gave us an opportunity to change things/make decisions along the way. His attention to detail really stood out.

THANK YOU for our new backyard! I highly recommend Green Side Up for any fence, deck, or yard work you need!!

Fence Construction

I've been dealing with Jay, who is very personable and accommodating, for several years. I recently asked him if he could fix a portion of my backyard fence and he told me it was beyond repair and needed to be replaced. His crew showed up on Monday and completely removed all the damaged fencing. The next day when I got back from work, a new fence was installed and completely finished. The quality of their work is top notch and I would highly recommend Green Side Up Contracting to anybody. Jay gets back to you quickly with a price quote, doesn't keep you waiting long to start construction and completes the work very quickly. The end result is a beautiful, well constructed fence that will stand the test of time. Well done and thanks again for a great job.

Highly recommended!

I recently had Green Side Up Contracting redo my small backyard – taking out the existing grass, fixing a retaining wall and installing new interlock and a garden bed. The whole team at Green Side Up was fantastic from start to finish. Jay provides detailed quotes, does a thorough walk through before the works starts, and Pat (foreman) and crew were always on time, gave regular updates on how the work was progressing, and kept the work site clean. I would not hesitate to recommend them. I look forward to enjoying my new backyard this summer. Thanks Jay!

Perimeter Fence and Gate

Jay provided fantastic customer service, explaining various options and providing a full price breakdown. He went out of his way to squeeze us into his busy pipeline and his crew did a fantastic job, building us a new perimeter fence and gate. I was impressed with the workmanship and how nicely they cleaned up when the job was complete. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Green Side Up for your fencing and gate needs.

Composite Decking

Green Side Up Contracting is a professional and dedicated Company. My husband and I contacted them for advice on constructing and assembling our road front deck. After speaking with Jay, the Owner of the Company, we decided to go with composite decking. The prices were reasonable and the finished project looks amazing!

Throughout the project, Jay consistently kept us up to date on their progress to ensure that we were satisfied at every stage. Zach and his crew worked tirelessly through extremely cold weather and even returned at a later time to confirm quality and complete any finishing touches. You couldn’t ask for a better Company! They went above and beyond to complete the job to our satisfaction. Thank you Green Side Up Contracting for your fantastic work!

Customer Service

My snow removal contract expired March 31 and as Murphy's law would have it, residents across Greater Toronto just received a weekend ice storm that raged into its third day by Monday. I had not heard from my snow removal contractor all weekend, I left several messages but did not hear back. Although I was prepared to pay extra for today's snow removal given my contract had expired, I wasn't prepared to be left stuck with my car in the garage and 2 ft of ice covered snow drifts on driveway!

Desperate to get to work I called my landscape contractor Green Side Up Contracting, they had installed my Interlock parking pad last year and much to my surprise they said no problem. Grant & Jay had my driveway cleared within an hour so that could get my car out of the garage and on my way to work. I am indeed thoroughly impressed and want to take this opportunity to praise the reliable team at Green Side Up and I would not hesitate to recommend this group of dependable, trustworthy professionals. Many Thanks!

Highly recommend!!!

I contacted Jay about 5 years ago for a snow removal quote. I ended up deciding to go ahead with an annual service from Green side Up, for year round property maintenance. Jay and his team have always been extremely professional and timely. I also used them for a landscape project at my house that turned out beautifully. I have very recently moved out of country, however my house is still for sale in Aurora. We just had an ice storm and despite my contract wit’s Greenside Up expiring March 30th, Jay was more than happy to help out during an ice storm and clear the driveway and front walk for me. I highly recommend them for all of your property needs.
