What’s the History of GSU Landscaping and Who’s on Their Team?

Founded in 2004, GSU was created by a local team with a deep background in the science of landscaping and a rich history of working with the tools of the trade. Our goal is to provide the best landscaping and lawn care services in the Richmond and Williamsburg communities.

Why does Green Side Up cost more than other landscapers?

A lower quote and our quote usually aren’t for the same job. The difference tends to show up in the parts you can’t see at first: proper base depth on a patio, soil prep before planting, bed care that goes beyond mowing, and a crew that shows up when we said. We price the work to last and to be handled by trained people who stand behind it. We break this down in full here: Why Does Green Side Up Cost More?

We had an erosion problem with our yard and spoke to several landscaping companies about a solution. Green Side Up came up with a very creative solution and we are thrilled with the results. They were courteous and very professional. I would recommend them to anyone.

The Green Up Landscaping Company did a EXCELLENT job with our new home build in Ford’s Colony (Williamsburg). From layout to design to installation GUL was prompt, helpful, and gave our property the care and attention required to complement and complete our home. Thank you Jimmy G and crew for a job well done!

Green Side Up completed the landscaping plan and installation for our new home. Jim worked tirelessly with us to get through subdivision approval. His installation team was right on time and did a high quality job.

Exceptional customer service and work. They take care of everything -- mowing, edging, mulch, leaf removal, aerating and overseeding. I get a lot of compliments from neighbors on my yard. They also coordinate with Virginia Green to make sure weed control and fertilizer don't conflict with the work GSU is doing that week.

I really like having my weekends free. Definitely worth it.
