Once we understand your landscaping goals, it’s time to begin the design process. Using professional 3D rendering, your GSU landscaping contractor will create a vision that fits your lifestyle, space, and budget.
Before we can begin designing your outdoor space, we need to understand your goals. We offer a free discovery call with GSU founder, Jay Saveall, to discuss our services, timelines, landscape design options, and more.
Schedule a call with Jay below to view our Special Offers. During our call, Jay will be able to understand your goals and see how Green Side Up Contracting can assist you in achieving them.
After your discovery call, Jay will schedule an on-site meeting. Our design partner will visit your home, assess the overall landscape and work with you on your vision before we begin building a pool that fits.
After designs have been finalized and permits approved, we get to work bringing your plans to life. You’ll receive a project manager assigned to your project, who will be in constant communication from start to finish. We’re committed to supporting our clients through the entire landscape construction process.

Your home’s exterior is its first impression, and we know how to bring out its beauty. Thoughtful planting, clean lines, and balanced hardscape elements create a welcoming look that stands out on your street.
Professional landscape maintenance can help you save money on DIY products that won’t do the trick. We specify the right materials and methods the first time, reducing waste, rework, and long-term repair costs.
Our experienced designers deliver 3D renderings that help you visualize your new space. You’ll preview layouts, materials, and lighting before we build—making confident decisions and avoiding costly changes later.
We won’t stop until you’re satisfied with our landscape work. Clear expectations, tidy job sites, and a thorough final walkthrough ensure the finished result matches your vision.
No one knows the ins and outs of the landscape construction industry quite like we do. From grading and drainage to permitting and specs, our know-how prevents issues and keeps projects on schedule.
You’ll never have to guess what we’re doing because your landscape contractor will always keep you in the loop. Regular updates, documented milestones, and one point of contact make the process easy.
With a redesigned and renovated front or backyard, you’ll build instant equity in your home. Attractive, low-maintenance landscapes boost curb appeal and buyer confidence when it’s time to sell.
If you really want to make your home stand out, our custom landscape designs can help you achieve that goal. We tailor features—patios, lighting, planting palettes, and privacy elements—to your style and site.
We don’t just look at the big picture, we look at the details that make up your landscape design. Precise cuts, clean edges, and correct plant spacing create a polished look that lasts.
Projects Completed Efficiently
Landscape construction can involve either hardscape or softscape.
Softscape typically involves the construction and design of plants and other organic materials, including grass and shrubs. This type of landscaping utilizes architecture and planning to determine the right design for any given space.
Hardscape landscaping, on the other hand, involves all structures and stonework. This includes interlocking, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, water fountains, fencing, patios, and pool decking.
A good landscape design may look different for every homeowner, but there are important factors to keep in mind when renovating your outdoor space.
Balance/Proportion
A well-balanced space can promote a sense of calm and relaxation. We help our clients achieve that harmony by ensuring our work is proportioned to their space.
Personality
Your home should always reflect your style and personality. When you work with our landscape construction company, we listen to your vision in order to bring it to life.
Cohesion
Like any interior design project, you want your outdoor space to feel like it all makes sense. We ensure every material used in your landscape service has a place so that you can feel in harmony when you step outside.
In Toronto and the York Region, permits are required for any residential landscape project. Drawings that meet local zoning regulations must be submitted and approved by the city before construction can begin.
Speak with one of our contractors to learn more about permit requirements in your area.
If you’re working with a smaller yard space, there are ways to maximize space and draw the eye without overcrowding.
Installing a tall fence or plants can help create more vertical lines, while simple plants and a cohesive colour pallet can help the space feel more spacious and calming. If possible, dividing your space into different sections can help create separation— like a tiled space, a green space, and a more casual seating area.
Working with a professional landscape designer is the best way to maximize your options. They’ll identify the best areas to make changes and help you create a design plan that makes sense for your home.
The costs of working with a professional landscaping contractor can vary depending on the scope and scale of the project and the type of services required.
Whether you want to install a new walkway or a trex composite deck in your backyard, we offer quality services at fair and competitive prices. We work closely with our clients to identify their landscaping needs and provide accurate estimates and approximate timelines for their projects.

There are several factors that can determine how long a landscape construction project will take. Residential projects require specific permits and approvals, which can take time to receive from local municipalities.
At GSU, we know your time is precious. That’s why we work with other industry professionals, including architects and engineers, to ensure designs are up-to-code and can be approved quickly. Your landscape contractor will always be in touch regarding timelines and will work diligently to complete your project efficiently and effectively.
Concrete bases include 3/4 crushed concrete that is watered down and compacted, while interlocking stone utilizes mostly 3/4 crushed gravel, with a top layer of limestone screening for levelling. The measurements may sometimes vary depending on the property and specific project needs.
