This is my first time submitting an online review and for good reason. I want to say that working with Green Side Up has been amazing. I have had the chance to get to know the owners and they sincerely care about doing the right things for their customers. Their leadership and high level of expectations flows through the entire company including those on the ground doing the hard work. In my case I have been blessed by working with Mike, Billy, Josh and Dro. They are all wonderful people who care about every single detail of my yard (which extends over 8 acres). They never miss a beat, are always on time, and make me feel like I’m the only home they take care of. They are also incredibly kind, always smiling, always friendly and always giving 100%. I really could not be happier with this team and so appreciate their kindness, friendship and work ethic. Thank you to the GSU team for making my life so much easier and happier. -Scott
Highly recommend GSU for any landscape project. Our new construction home was just a dirt backyard with some seed down that never took. Preston and the rest of the team came up with a plan to fix drainage, add grass, beds, and shrubs while still fitting within our budget. As you can see from the before and after photos I added, it made a huge difference and now we have a backyard we actually enjoy. We liked their work so much we’re already talking to them again about adding a couple of trees to the backyard as well.
We really enjoyed working with Green Side Up. Preston was a pleasure to work with. Her vision transformed our space. The crew did an excellent job. Everything looks fantastic. We are very pleased with the results!
From the start they were great. The estimate was provided quickly and was accurate. Ivan and his team were efficient and professional, and responded seamlessly to my last minute changes. My yard looks amazing!
Very happy with GSU landscaping. The design process was really engaging and Preston picked out the perfect plants and layout for us. We went through a lot of discussion and revisions, which I appreciated because in general it's not cheap to get a landscaping project done. It took a little longer to get to the project than I hoped but that was due to rain and demand, so no big deal. Once we got to the execution Ivan and his team finished in just one 8 hour day. You can see from the pictures how nice everything looked. We had to make a few adjustments at the end due to availability of some plants, but Ivan worked through that with me without any issues. Can't wait for the next project.
