4/21/25 Update - Another 10! Stripped our side yard, (Invasion of neighbor’s unkept yard). Installed a custom 14” deep, custom ordered border to 1” above dirt level. And sodded. These folks care about every job they have done for us and their reputation. You get what you pay for.
Our third time out with GSU in a little over a years. This time replanting the front yard after clearing an overgrown flower bed in November 2021. Ivan and the GSU crew were their usual fantastic selves. On time and very detailed.
The GSU process, through their web site, takes all the guesswork out of the process. Scheduling an appointment was easy. Our design consultant was helpful in suggesting the plants to select.
We give them a solid "10".
Update, January 2024. Mulching was perfect. Dominic and crew exceeded our expectations. Another 10! Thank you.
11/26/24 another perfect experience! Thank you GSU Team.

The team takes great care. Even blew mown grass out of the gardens without stomping on the plants, and cleaned under doormats. Much appreciated.
GSU did a phenomenal job removing an existing concrete sidewalk for us. They graded our walkway, put down clay pavers instead of concrete, and added some built-in lighting. We love the finished work. They were professional and easy to work with. The people who did the work on site were courteous, very hard working, and they were very respectful of our neighbors (which was important since our project was right up to our property line). They also went the extra mile to leave our yard as they found it. We’d highly recommend GSU for all your hardscaping needs!
We found Green Side Up Landscaping through a Google search and were impressed by their reviews on Google and Yelp. After scheduling an initial estimate, Bill came to our home and walked us through a thoughtful design that prioritized a large play area for our kids. He provided a detailed plan for maintaining the landscape and suggested valuable additions, like proper drainage and erosion mitigation around our foundation.
Bill's estimate was cost-effective compared to other companies we consulted, and work began just a week after we put down our deposit. His team promptly and safely removed five large trees from our property and ground the stumps and roots for complete removal. They also installed irrigation for our half-acre lot and seeded the area to ensure grass growth, even in the semi-shaded spots.
The entire project was incredibly fast, budget-friendly, and exactly what we envisioned. Communication from Green Side Up was consistent, keeping us informed throughout the process. They even accommodated a couple of additional side projects I requested on the spot and provided estimates for that extra work without hesitation.
Overall, I was extremely impressed with the Green Side Up team and highly recommend them to anyone in the Richmond area looking for landscaping services!

GSU was quick to respond when requested a bid and quick to schedule work. The crew was amazing! They were polite, kept us informed, and did a great job installing the cobblestone edging on driveway. Thanks, Craig.
GSU did amazing work on my driveway. The team worked well into the evening to complete the project. I was very impressed by their communication and attention to detail. We will definitely use GSU again for future projects.
When we moved into our house, the yard had not been maintained for quite some time. In the front of our house, there were nandina that had spread like wildfire. There was a tree stump that had been to about 3-4 feet from the ground and branches had started growing from it. There was another tree that look like it came from a sapling and let grow as it pleased. I took out some holly bushes, but it still needed a lot of work. We hired GSU, they came out, removed everything, planted some plants, and laid sod. It looked amazing!!
When they were grinding the stumps, they accidentally hit the cover to our water meter. However, this was not their fault because whoever marked the utilities did not mark the water meter. They even called the utility company, or whoever gives the ok to grind stumps/dig/etc, and they said everything had been marked and they could proceed. The city came out to replace the water meter cover and I guess they had to dig up whatever was around the water meter and install a new one. When doing this, they did not care what it looked like before or after. They dug up our new sod, placed the new water meter cover, then threw dirt around it. I sent GSU a message with pictures and they came out the next day to fix it. They didn't charge me anything additional. Because of their customer service and quality of work, they have a lifelong customer. I highly recommend using GSU for all your landscape needs.

Great service. Always do a wonderful job. Always on time and our place looks great. Thank you
We have an annual contract for grass cutting, edging and trimming, chemicals and leaf removal - which are always carried out with excellence. We recently contract GSU to edge and spread muck ch that we provided. They did a fantastic job and we are vet happy with the work. We would absolutely recommend them for your yard needs.
Greenside Up Landscaping and Associates are an amazing company. Their service is punctual, leaving my property looking pristine and my neighbors commenting on how nice our lawn looks. They have provided helpful tips on selecting flowers and shrubs; improving my property’s curb appeal. Thank you Jim, Jacob and your crew! Nancy Fellows, Williamsburg
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.
