Grading / maintenance

Found Jay's company's on Home Stars and could not be happier. Wonderful service experiences are too rare and Green Side Up was a great find. Do business with these guys, you won't be disappointed. They fixed our grading and maintained our property to pristine condition after our purchase in minimal time. Love this company. Reasonable priced.

Hi Dave,

Thank you very much for your review. We were very happy with the results and I'm certain this project will help keep the water running away from your house.

Keep in touch,

Jay

Drainage problem

I live in a subdivision hampered with water and drainage problems. Coupled with this, is very poor soil and clay. My own property has a swale running along the the south fence line which very rarely dries up. Cutting the grass along that side of the yard, is usually trekking through mud.
I've had city officials over to the house, who basically told me to sue my neighbours, as they deemed improvements that they've made to their properties as being the cause of mine.
I called Jay, at Green Side Up and he proposed the installation of a French drain. The drain was to run the entire length of my property, from west to east, along the south side of the yard.
Once the installation was complete, voila, no more water problems. Within 20 minutes of a heavy rainfall, the entire side of the lot is dry and the water is running out onto the street into sewer.
I would highly recommend Jay Saveall and his crew at Green Side Up Property Maintenance. Because of his professionalism and dedication to detail, I can now enjoy my entire yard. No longer do I have to deal with constant standing water.

Thank you very much Paul! I was stopped by your property today to evaluate your situation and 24 hours after the last rain fall the discharge pipe was still flowing. I'm extremely happy with how effective this weeping tile has been.

See you soon,

Jay

Tree limb clean up

Jay pulled up outside my house to do some work at my neighbours and I asked him if he had time to help cut up big branches in my yard. He was fast, efficient and I now have peace of mind knowing that the mess has been cleaned up with little impact to me! Thanks Jay.

Driveway Salting

I called Jay with a work emergency! I needed to get an extremely icy drive-way salted asap for the filming of a TV show. Jay offered a great solution: Pickle Sand (30% salt, 70% sand). The pickle sand provided traction and we were able to maneuver multiple vehicles up and down the driveway. Success! Jay's service was reliable, punctual and economical.

Grass cut, landscape, snow removal

Jay is responsive and customer focused. Recently we had a late night ice problem with our up hill driveway. Called jay and he was over in about one hour (on his sat night). Fixed the problem and we were able to get up the driveway again! Jay also sends email updates when there are storms etc so you know what to expect (unlike the typical Plow guys -- will they even show up? After going through two other grass and snow contractors we have finally found a keeper with jay. Great guy. Great service.

Year round lawn care and snow removal

Jay and his team have done a fantastic job for me this year. They have helped me rebuild my lawn to a beautiful, healthy show piece and have kept me safe this winter with all the winter services they provided (over and above just snow removal - salting and de-icing etc..). I am so grateful for the frequent communication and keeping me (and all their clients) up to date with what’s going on (update on coming snow blizzards and ice storms).
They are very knowledgeable about lawn care and recommend ways of ensuring a healthy and beautiful lawn all season. They don't just mow my lawn. They know what they are doing and treat my property as if it was their own.
Jay and his team actually take care of me all year round and they also support the community. They recently contributed 50% of their profits from the drive-way de-icing blitz they did to support The Aurora Food Pantry. Not many companies would do this...
The services they provide to me all year round and the support they provide to the community means a lot to me… They definitely have a very happy and extremely satisfied customer.

Hi Georgia,

Thank you very much for your feed back.

As for your front lawn, I believe that each week your lawn becomes healthier and healthier. I'm looking forward to seeing the end results as I know you are too ;-)

Contributing to the local food bank is the very least we can do to give back to our beautiful community.

Thank you for your continued business.

Regards,

Jay

ice removal

Jay is the best guy I have ever seen in Landscaping business. I have asked him to deice the walkway in my son school because the school have salt supply issues. He reply in very short period of time and have the whole walkway make it safe at a very reasonable price. Very effecient and very responsible for the job with a warm heart. Amazing hard work and on behalf of all the kids in school, thank you a lot. Saw everyone this morning going to school with a big happy face... again thanks a million.

Thank you Vincent for your kind words.

Hiring us to help out with the major ice build up on the walkway to the main entrance at your son's school when the school ran out of salt after the ice storm was one thing. The fact that you were adamant about remaining anonamus was a VERY kind gesture, and we were very happy to help!!

It was great to meet you, and I now know where to direct anyone who's interested in buying a Porsche ;-)

Cheers,

Jay

Grass Cutting, Snow Plowing

Its been a few years now that I have used Green Side Up services for both winter and summer times, and gotta tell you this is the company to go with. Jay is always on time, reliable, and their service goes beyond our expectations, with a very fare price.
I was always so sceptical about signing up contracts with grass cutting or snow plowing companies, as we all have experienced non-reliable ones which are really hard to deal with, and charge a lot more than what their service is worth!!
Thanks to Jay and his associates, im no more worried when it snows, i know they will take care of it right away.
