After a really bad experience with another A-rated landscaping company I was very pleased and relieved with how smoothly everything went with GSU. Very professional and the work exceeded expectations. Will be using them regularly.

I’ve had Greenside Up for many years now and my yard looks amazing. Not a weed in sight and it’s always cut and trimmed. They’re very professional and on time.

From the start, every part of the process went very well. And I couldn’t be happier with the finished product! Their entire team was professional, responsive, respectful, and diligent. Their attention to detail is impressive. You can tell they truly care about quality.

Green Side Up Landscaping was one of three contractors that bid on our job. Craig was prompt for our initial appointment, and had the quote to me the same day. The pricing was fair, and upon checking the company's online reviews we awarded the job to them. Bill reached out to schedule the job, and we stayed in communication over the ensuing weeks to confirm the dates. The crew arrived on time, and were extremely professional and friendly. They were patient with me as I made requests regarding placement of the plants, even moving things when I changed my mind after they had been planted where I initially instructed. I was not initially pleased with the installation of the flagstone path, but Bill came out the next day and agreed to make changes which were completed within one day. I cannot recommend this company any more strongly; they offered fair pricing and lived up to their commitments every step of the way.

We are so happy with Green Side Up Landscaping. All team members are professional, knowledgeable, and so nice to work with! Their customer service is top notch. They communicate regularly with the customer so you always know what to expect. We are doing some additional renovations in our yard this year and are so happy to have GSU Landscaping in charge. From regular lawn maintenance to new plantings, you can not find a better landscape company!

GSU did a wonderful job of installing a large water feature and landscaping the driveway island at our house. It was expensive, but the service was outstanding and the final result is beautiful. I highly recommend this company.

Green Side Up did a wonderful job and I highly recommend them. I had a design already drawn up for new landscaping in the front of our house but needed the plants installed within a fairly short time frame. They were quick to meet with me and quick to install. I really enjoyed working with everyone I met along the way.

Craig and GSU have been great. We used them for lawn care in a previous house as well and because of them we won VIrginia Green’s lawn of the month in June

Green Side Up has done a super job with our yard. They are responsive and willing to work with me regardless of the request or need. Both the maintenance and the landscaping sides of their business are well worth the monthly fee. I appreciate both their timeliness and their dependability when it comes to maintenance and advice. I highly recommend them.

This is the second time I've used GSU and once again it was a great and positive experience. From Craig and Bill in providing estimate and scheduling for the work to the onsite crew completing the work they all made it easy and did and excellent job from beginning to the end. Great communication! They evenly lay mulch by hand so it spreads evenly, efficiently and cost effective. Kudos and thank you. I will use them again, they provide excellent service. I strongly recommend GSU!

I claimed a deal for 16 hours of work for $800 off of Angie's list for this company. No response from them, so I called and was told they do not service my area (I'm in Bon Air they are in Glen Allen) I would think anyone located in the greater Richmond area would serve the greater Richmond area, but anyway...The next day a received a message that someone from Green Side up would like to come out and look at my job. I thought hey, they want to tell me how much they can get done for the $800. He came out looked at the job and sent me an email the next day saying they were not the right company for the job, even though the type of work listed in the deal I claimed was the work I needed done, with the exception of some tree trimming.
Response from

"Thank you for the opportunity to review your project. Unfortunately it is impossible to be the best contractor for every possible job. This is why after the deal was claimed we requested to review your project in person. After meeting about all the different aspects of the project, we determined that we were not the best fit to complete your project. This has nothing to do with your location but more the scope of work. All these aspects were handled very professionally and no money ever exchanged hands. We would much rather have the difficult conversation that we are not the right contractor before the projects starts rather then you find out with concerns later in the project. Again thank you for the opportunity to look at your project."

Craig’s online system for scheduling a quote is the best I’ve seen for any home contractor. And in addition to being highly qualified and very experienced, Craig is a man of rare integrity. He began his assessment of my retaining-wall project by asking about my goals for replacing the wall. After a brief conversation, he said that with a few minor repairs (which I could do myself or have a small contractor do for me), the wall would probably last another 5 yr. He recommended that I not spend the $20,000 - $30,000 to replace the wall, since there’s no way I’d get my money back if I sell my home in the next 1 - 5 yr. In 45+ yr. of dealing with home repairs, I've never before had a contractor give up a substantial amount--let alone $20,000 plus--because his taking on the project would not be in my best interest. In addition to recommending against my wall project, he recommended delaying my grass planting project until fall, when the new grass would not be scorched by high summer temperatures. I’d recommend that those seeking an honest, very competent contractor for a landscaping or hardscaping project give him a call.

Green Side Up determined that the work may not be necessary, thus their honesty saved us a lot of money.

They did what was planned well but they also helped trouble shoot where the planned landscape needed tweaking. They helped guide me to make sure the landscape is livable and easy to manage.
