Nicole in Keswick

I purchased a fairly old home two years prior to deciding that I was going to transform my weed invested back into a place where my daughter and two dogs could actually enjoy. I came across Green Side Up through a friend who uses them to look after their property in Aurora. It was in September of 2012 when I reached out to Jay. I had finally had some money saved and now I wanted my back yard transformed!! The timing was going to be tight as we were approaching the end of the season. Jay met with me to discuss the drawing I had created. Jay had made several small suggestions to the plans and I'm happy that I took his suggestions. We finalized the drawing, decided on material, talked about the cost and established a time line all within one week of our initial meeting. Green Side Up built me a large patio, a play ground area (using tiny stones) a dog run, two small gardens and brick cover over my BBQ. They also planted a few shrubs and some perennials in the two small gardens. Because of the massive amount of weeds, Jay said he was going to dig a little deeper into the ground, adding more of that crushed stone and put down this black cloth. He showed me the cloth which had steel fibers in it and I myself wasn't able to rip it apart. He showed me another type of this cloth and explained that many of his competitors use that which I could easily rip. This cloth is used to help prevent the weeds from coming through the stones. Jay and his guys were very polite and they did great work. The price was the final price - no surprises at the end! I believe this company is full of integrity, doesn't cut corners and I would highly recommend using them. We are looking forward to enjoying a full summer in our back yard in 2013!!
