From start to finish, they really looked after us, and it was obvious they genuinely cared about doing the job right. Communication was excellent throughout the project, and any minor issues that came up were dealt with quickly and professionally. > > They completely transformed our backyard by removing our old deck, fence, and cracked concrete around the pool, then installing a new pool liner, coping, interlocking, sod, and new plantings. The quality of the work is outstanding, and we're absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out (see the photos!). > > We would definitely use Green Side Up again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality landscaping and pool renovation work. **★★★★★ — Ralph V., July 2026** > Green Side Up did a fantastic job on our pool renovation. After shortlisting them from a group of 6 other contractors and meeting with some prior clients, it was plain to see that their past reviews were well deserved. Their estimates and project plans were thorough and detailed. Their people and partners were professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Jay was responsive, accountable and easy to work with. I wanted a "throat to choke" who wouldn't just do what we asked but to provide options and advice and Jay delivered. The quality of the deck work, plumbing and pool liner was excellent. Any of the minor follow up/warranty issues were promptly and competently resolved. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, competitive and service oriented contractor. **★★★★★ — Jeff Aitken, June 2026** > Green Side Up Contracting was a pleasure to deal with, from the initial consult with Jay, the owner, through to design, construction and followup. Both crews (stone patio and deck) were professional and easy to deal with, always ensuring the customer was satisfied at each step of the process. Special shoutout to Rob, the onsite manager, for overseeing the work and promptly resolving any issues that arose. > The project was completed on time and within budget. > We now have a beautifully landscaped backyard to enjoy for years to come! **★★★★★ — Steve Ray, Sept. 2025** > We began our journey with Green Side Up at the Toronto Home Show. After our design consultation and a review of their online portfolio, we knew we found the right team of professionals for our backyard. We love our high quality new patio as well as the oasis of trees and plants surrounding it. Everything came together in just a couple of weeks and the result is stunning and well beyond our expectations! > > We were most impressed with the level of integrity and professionalism shown by Green Side Up from beginning to end. They understood our vision and, when we requested a modification to the plan, they made it happen with no fuss. Additionally, they provided a high level of after-care, which demonstrated their commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. > > To sum up, working with Green Side Up was a fantastic adventure and we are eager to see the magic they will bring to our front yard project next year! **★★★★★ — Karen, Sept. 2025** > We are absolutely thrilled with our new interlock patio from Green Side Up! They demolished our old wood deck and completely transformed the space. Working with Jay was fantastic – he made the process smooth and stress-free. His team was courteous, efficient, and respectful in how they worked, always cleaning up at the end of each day. Rob also checked in with us on every detail, no matter how small, which we really appreciated. The results exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend Green Side Up! **★★★★★ — HU-727274547, Aug. 2025** > My experience with Green Side Up Contracting was nothing short of exemplary. From the initial communication when I reached out to Jay, you could tell he valued the voice of the customer and doesn’t push anything onto you. He loves doing what he does and conversations with him were effortless. My parents also mentioned they had the same experience with him and his crew. Even before I accepted his quote, he willingly helped with some cleanup tasks from an earlier project. > > As for the work, his crew provided me with the same type of experience as I had with him. The quality of the work was evident in the results. The difference between our original fence door and the new ones are night and day, while accommodating everything we asked for, and when we thought we couldn’t seal up our deck to prevent animals from coming in, they managed to seal it up completely, with no difference showing between the deck and the added sealing. Throughout the process, Jay always kept me in the loop, updating me on the progress of the work, when the crew will arrive and if there’s anything I needed to do, which was very minimal. Even though I was not there at the time the work was being completed, when I arrived back at home, everything was flawless and I did not have to do any more cleaning afterwards. > > If you’re looking for an honest and transparent company who strives for excellence and great customer satisfaction, then I will confidently say Green Side Up is your company. **Comment from Green Side Up Contracting:** > Hi Pria, > > Thank you so much for your kind work, for your business, and most of all thank you so much for putting your trust into Green Side Up Contracting. > > Regards, > > Jay Saveall > > ☎️ 905-392-7123 > jay@gsutoronto.com > https://calendly.com/greensideupcontracting > www.greensideupcontracting.com > > "Protecting Your Investment and Delivering Excellence” since 2000 **★★★★★ — HU-538148261, Aug. 2025** > Jay and his team were a pleasure to deal with.

You and Jen were truly a pleasure to work with. > > I'm super happy with how the stone work turned out, and I hope you and your family enjoy many moments around your new fire pit! I hope you can keep up with watering all the sod during these hot days. If you're unable to do so and the sod dies, despite there being no warranty on sod, we will return in the fall to reinstall fresh sod. > > Standing behind our clients is key. Without clients, we have no business, so this is the least we can do for you, Sir! **★★★★★ — lemoffatt, July 2025** > Jay and his team did a great job on my backyard renovation. Jay was friendly and very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions. His team was very professional and worked hard through a southern Ontario heat wave! I would recommend and use Green Side Up again. **Comment from Green Side Up Contracting:** > Thanks so much for the awesome review! Our team loved working with you and is thrilled you’re happy with the backyard. **★★★★★ — Neil, July 2025** > I engaged Jay and the Green Side Up team to transform the parking lot of my office into a courtyard retreat and the resuts tell the story! From planning, to pricing to execution Jay and the team were spot on. Dependable, flexible, on budget and on time. I’m one very happy customer! **Comment from Green Side Up Contracting:** > Hey Neil, > > This was a super fun job! Thank you for giving us your business.

With limited space and a sharp grade to the property, he came up with an idea based on our preferences that put together a cosy, sleek and attractive space for us to enjoy! > His team was reliable, courteous, and did quality work.

We took our time getting quotes and ideas from different companies, and right from the beginning Jay’s personality and willingness to work with us on our vision helped make our decision to collaborate with him a no brainer. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and responsive to our needs. They handled everything from the demolition to the finishing touches with great attention to detail and quality workmanship. > The project was completed on time and within budget, and Jay/Green Side Up Contracting kept us updated throughout the entire process. Our backyard is now a beautiful, functional space that we love spending time in. Highly recommend for anyone looking to transform their outdoor area! **★★★★★ — Kevin Middleton, July 2025** > Jay's team did an awesome job getting our deck into tip top shape! The guys were professional, willing to stay late to get the work done on a timely fashion, and went above and beyond in terms of fixing up some of the issues left behind by the previous contractor.
