Award Winning Landscape Construction
At Green Side Up Contracting, Jay strongly believes that every project starts off with a solid plan designed by a professional – ‘If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!’. To help us deliver excellence while ensuring your investment is protected, we have partnered with a very creative Landscape Designer who will assist you with everything from the design to the material take-off so we can accurately quote your project.
The plan will be presented to you in 3D format so you can see exactly how the project will look once it’s constructed. Once you agree on the design, we bring the 3D rendering to reality using the industry’s best construction principles! PLEASE CONTACT US HERE to see current special offers and to schedule a phone consultation so we can answer any questions you have.
Jay also believes in transparency and effective communication. Green Side Up Contracting will assign a very experienced Project Manager to your project and will be available to you during the construction of your project.
Here are three steps that Jay believes in to achieve our ultimate goal which is to deliver excellence and to protect our clients investment.
Let’s face it: We would all love to be our own DIY champions. Unfortunately, for most of us (myself included), we can do only so much with the skill and knowledge we retain. However, if you decide to hire a landscape designer, they will approach the space they are working within with the utmost talent and creativity. They will be able to create a beautiful design that fits your space, your lifestyle, and your budget. This is something that most builders can only achieve partially. Let me ask: Would you rather have a dentist fix your teeth or a mechanic? So please be careful and hire a professional designer to create a 3D rendering for you to see. This will save you a lot of time and frustration. You will be satisfied with the results of our very talented designer.
In some cases, depending on the scope of work, we will often need to engage an Architect or Engineer to help with permitting requirements. Our designer has established relationships with all the professionals required to ensure your project is built to code.
One of the valuable aspects of hiring a professional to design your dream space is their extensive network of trusted individuals and companies. This connection can significantly reduce the stress of searching for a reliable contracting service on your own. By hiring a designer/architect, you not only benefit from their expertise but also gain access to their established support network.
The added value of tapping into this network is immeasurable. It goes beyond monetary terms, as it provides you with peace of mind, knowing that the professionals working on your project have been vetted and are trusted within the industry. This network brings an additional layer of support and ensures a smoother and more efficient process from start to finish.
By hiring a professional with such connections, you can rely on their recommendations and access a pool of trusted resources, further enhancing the overall quality and success of your project.
The last point is this: you simply won’t find anyone better than a Landscape Designer to bring your vision to life while maximizing your useable space, all while factoring in your budget. With years of training and a passion for their trade, Landscape Designers are the surest bet to create your dream outdoor space.
By entrusting your project to skilled experts, you can have peace of mind and fully embrace the benefits of your beautifully crafted outdoor area.

Projects Completed Efficiently
The time it takes to finish your project depends on its size, complexity, and location. We must also take into account factors such as whether your property has machine access, and whether we need to remove previous landscaping.
In phase one of our approach, and after you’ve used our interlocking calculator, we will send a project manager to examine your project in detail. Once we have all the information, we will provide you with a specific timeline. This timeline becomes part of our written agreement so that there are no surprises
The only way to prevent shifting and cracking is to pay special attention to your base. Our crew specializes in preparing your base for maximum durability.
For concrete, we use ¾ crushed concrete that is watered down and compacted.
For interlocking stone, we use mostly ¾ crushed gravel, with a top layer of limestone screening for leveling.
Of course, there are many other factors involved, but the rest comes down to your property and specific project needs.
Polymeric sand offers several advantages over brick sand, including less shifting, fewer weeds, and reduced water washout.
Unlike brick sand, it has an adhesive quality that stops the seepage of water below the bricks when properly used. This creates a dryer base that is less susceptible to shifting or settling under heavy traffic and loads.
Although polymeric sand is more expensive than brick sand, it provides long-lasting benefits that keep your interlocking stone project looking great for years to come.
While rare (we take every measure to prevent them), there may be instances where a stone may shift, especially within the first year. If this happens, all you need to do is pick up the phone and contact us. At Green Side Up Contracting, we’re committed to you and your project, and believe in protecting your investment.
