What homeowners say about their backyards

Real 5-star Google reviews from Green Side Up customers across the GTA.

★★★★★
Greenside Up was recommended by a landscape architect. It was a new build and they installed gardens, sod, walkways, driveway & fencing. The job was done professionally, & on time. Jay & everyone who worked on the job were a pleasure to deal with, I would highly recommend them.

GSU completed the job for the exact amount of money that they quoted. They showed up early every morning and cleaned up after themselves every day. The residents commented how clean and professional the team was. Very friendly crew doing excellent work with Jay leading the way. Highly recommended.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a hardscaping project cost?
It varies widely by scope — a single retaining wall is very different from a full backyard renovation. Interlock and stonework typically run $15–$30 per square foot, while larger projects are quoted as a package. We provide a free, detailed written quote with no obligation, and you pay nothing until the work is done.
How long does a project take?
Smaller hardscapes take a few days; full backyard renovations can run 2–4 weeks depending on grading, drainage, and scope. We'll give you a clear timeline at your on-site assessment.
Do you handle design and permits?
Yes. We offer full design-to-build and handle the permit process where it's required, so you have one accountable team from concept to completion.
What's the lifespan of hardscaping features?
Properly built hardscaping lasts decades. Retaining walls and interlock on an engineered base are designed for Ontario's freeze-thaw climate, and individual pavers can be swapped if ever needed instead of redoing the whole surface.
What areas do you serve?
We serve the entire Greater Toronto Area including Aurora, Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Markham, Vaughan, King City, Stouffville, Pickering, Ajax, North York, and surrounding communities.
