### Reviews

**★★ — daumbeauchamp, Dec. 2022**

> The quality of work was good when the crew showed up. I have emailed and called the owner of this business many times to inquire why their crew did not show up for their weekly service. Owner would never respond to my phone calls or emails. I have cancelled their service.

**Comment from Green Side Up Landscaping Inc:**

> Are you sure you have the correct "Green Side Up Landscaping" company? Front what we can make from your user name we have never had you as a customer. In addition, with our company, you have a direct point of contact that helps you with every aspect of your property maintenance needs.

**★★★★★ — Diane Garcia, Aug. 2017**

> Jay and his team were top of the line: excellent at providing suggestions, answering questions, and getting the job done quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended!!!

**★★★★★ — Karl Humberson, Jan. 2017**

> I started with GSU just to do some mulch work.  Once I stated the full lawn care service I couldn't be happier.  Yard was well kept all year.  Coming home in the fall when the days start getting shorter and see that your yard is already taken care of is a great site.  Freed up all my weekend too.

**★★★★★ — sally bobbitt, Dec. 2016**

> GSU is remarkable. They stay close to their clients to ensure service and results are just what the customer has envisioned. They are working with us on weekly maintenance and an updated design and installation for our yard in  Brandermill. The weekly maintenance is excellent---I see a vast improvement over the service provided by other companies. Responsive, proactive and expert.

**★★★★★ — hobieonekenobi, April 2016**

> Green Side Up Landscaping built a paver patio around my backyard pool, including retaining walls and a planter bed.  Their work is excellent as is their customer service.  They are professional and polite. I will hire them again for my next job.

**★★★★★ — radayton, Oct. 2015**

> GSU built us a beautiful patio that included a fire pit, sitting wall, and landscaping.  From the moment I received the proposal, I knew that these guys were professionals.  GSU uses something equivalent to AutoCAD for their designs whereas their competition uses pencil and paper.  It made the competition look like amateurs.  During the proposal process, GSU didn't try to win my business by telling me what I wanted to hear - they told me what I needed to hear.  Specifically, they told me that I needed a proper drainage system in order to get the water from the roof and downspout away from my alternative septic system because my land was "flat as a pancake".  The competition had other grandiose ideas that sounded good but were not practical.  When the designs and proposals came in, the GSU design was the most elegant and well thought out.  Throughout the entire project, I really enjoyed working with these guys.  From start to finish, they did an excellent job.

**★★★★★ — Brian Lukanich, Oct. 2015**

> The quality of work was excellent. They did a superb job and I highly recommend them.  Awesome company and workers!!

**★★★★★ — michele8393, Oct. 2015**

> Green Sid Up was friendly but professional. From the estimate to the finished product I was very satisfied. If i have a complaint, it is that I did not hire Green Side Up sooner.

**★★★★★ — dpt1212, Feb. 2015**

> GSU constructed a 16'x16' paver patio that includes a 12' raised, circular fire pit with seat wall (pit itself is approximately 5ft), a path from patio to driveway on side of house, relocation of a tree and landscaping.  Project also included low voltage, LED lighting along path and around pit.  From start to finish, GSU provided excellent service.  From design, recommendations, quality, attention to detail, extra "touches",etc...everything met and exceeded my expectations.   Prior to choosing GSU, I consulted with two other companies providing a similar service.  GSU stood out in their presentation, explanations and recommendations of the entire project.

**Comment from Green Side Up Landscaping Inc:**

> Thanks for your business. We can see from your after picture that you are already putting it to good use!

**★★★★★ — jwise20, Feb. 2015**

> Green Side Up did a fantastic job on our patio.  They listened carefully to all of our requests and were a pleasure to work with.  The crew that worked at our home for approximately five weeks was very easy to work with and their attention to detail was incredible.  Great guys!  We now have a beautiful patio that far exceeded our expectations.  I would highly recommend Green Side Up not only for their professionalism but also for their incredible craftmanship.

**★★★★★ — jefturner, Jan. 2015**

> Green Side Up did a fantastic job on our patio, from design to completion. They listened to what we wanted, and we ended up with exactly that.

**Comment from Green Side Up Landscaping Inc:**

> Jeff,
> Thank you for your business and I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of your patio!

**★★★★ — jtruss66, Jan. 2015**

> I hired GSU to construct a lengthy walkway from my house to our garage which required an element of design and modification from what I would say is standard as a result of limited space. Craig and GSU rolled with the punches and worked with us to come up with exactly what we wanted, and patiently accommodated our hesitancy to proceed and last minute change in desired materials.  They even resolved a few post construction hiccups without so much as a blink.  A great combination of design and build capabilities.

**Comment from Green Side Up Landscaping Inc:**

> Thank you so much for your business and the review. I hope you continue to enjoy your pathway.

## Community Q&A

**Q: what is the hedge plant material ?** *(in Photo Questions)*

What planting zone is this please

A: We did not plant the hedge but it looks like a holly hedge. Maybe dwarf burford holly? We are in zone 7.

**Q: Love the grey stone wall/planter** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the ballpark rate for these? 
We put an offer on a house that needs major landscaping help here in Richmond.

A: Thanks for the question. Its hard to give a rate when there are so many variables. Its best for us to meet you on site and give you a proposal for what you need. Feel free to give us a call to set up a time.

**Q: Is this a gas firepit? Any challenges building this in glen Allen?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The fire pit is a 5' outside diameter. Not sure if that helps but I think that is what you are asking.
