Ivan and his team did an excellent job designing and installing a bed, that included multiple plants, trees and mulch. They communicated very clearly throughout the entire process to ensure our expectations were met and the job was done on time to our complete satisfaction. GSU is professional through all phases of the process and we would not hesitate to call them again for any landscaping services.

The GSU team installed garden beds on either side of my front steps. They were timely from start to finish, informative and helpful. Ivan answered my many questions thoroughly from beginning to end. My house looks more welcoming now and I am so pleased to have gone with Greenside Up after getting the recommendation from an arborist. It was well worth it and I will definitely do more work with them in the future.

GREEN SIDE UP did an OUTSTANDING job with the transformation of my yard. It has been a multi-year process of removing small trees myself, then having bigger trees removed by professionals all to open up my yard. When they graded and put down topsoil, I couldn't believe how great it looked all before the grass seed was put down. Once the yard was seeded, it took a matter of six to seven days to see initial results which is what I was looking for and now, I have a full yard of grass! If you are in the Richmond, VA area, I highly recommend Green Side Up Landscaping of Richmond!

GSU removed two garden beds entirely, grading and seeding those areas. In other areas, they cleaned up all ground cover and weeds, or overgrown plantings, and installed new plants. The crew was efficient and careful, and we recommend them to others. Services: Seeding, Mulching

GSU Landscaping installed roses and crape myrtle on property, cleaned weeds and put mulch. They were very prompt in service. The owner came to see me as promised, sent me estimate same day and after signing contract, did wonderful and professional job. The garden looks just beautiful now. I will use them again for any future landscaping services.

I would definitely recommend this company! I had a majority of my front mulch bed re-done. The guys came and removed everything in one day and then planted the next. Everything was quick, easy, and hands-off (I was at work while they completed the entire project). They also mulched a tree in the front yard with some extra mulch so everything would match. Not to mention I got the cheapest quote from Green Side Up (out of multiple companies). Such a great experience!

I highly recommend Green Side Up Landscaping. We hired the company for landscape design including both hardscape and plantings. They were able to create a beautiful patio area for us. The crew was very skilled and nice to work with. The landscape design took into consideration all of my requests. I was surprised I did not have to go back with any change requests. I was also pleasantly surprised that the entire job came in under the estimate. I look forward to using Green Side Up for my next outdoor project.

We worked with Craig and the Green Side Up team to clean up our yard, grade, add French drains, dry creek bed, 4 ornamental trees, define flower beds, expand our irrigation to the backyard and install sod. During the process they were very responsive to any issue or question we brought up. It's Day 2 after completion, but so far we are pleased with the way it turned out and so are our neighbors! They were comparable to other landscape quotes we received and overall we chose them because we valued their communication and responsiveness.

Randall and Thomas (Richmond) did a great job! They outlined exactly what they were going to do at 8 am, then proceeded to do it. I am very pleased with the appearance and now look forward to experiencing the improved drainage afforded by our new "dry creek bed."

We had GSU do a complete landscape installation. We gave them a plan we had drawn up by a local landscape expert and they executed it beautifully. They had to tear out our existing front beds to reinstall new, and install brand new beds around the other 3 sides. They were extremely professional every step of the way, communicating when they had trouble finding the exact match of plants and suggesting alternatives.

Their on-site foreman was friendly and extremely polite, making adjustments I requested as to plant spacing, etc. I would recommend them highly to anyone looking for landscape services.

This is an *excellent* company. We have a large property with extensive landscaping that we could never maintain ourselves. Green Side Up took the time to listen to exactly what we wanted and needed and they delivered beyond what I expected. Every service has been prompt, courteous, and well done. Every single thing is taken care of with amazing attention to detail.

The lawn looks beautiful, the bushes and trees look perfect - everything is taken care of, from edging to trimming to mowing to mulching to clean up. They just planted my gorgeous weeping willow tree and it looks fantastic. I cannot recommend this company enough.
