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.

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.

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.

Frequently
Asked Questions

faq-section
Do you offer different levels of service for property maintenance?

Yes. The Total Maintenance Package includes weekly mowing, and the Garden Care Package covers bed care and pre-emergent for properties that don’t need mowing. Turf fertilization, aeration, leaf removal, and pruning are available as add-ons. Our pricing page lists everything in both packages.

How much does landscape maintenance cost in Richmond, VA?

The Total Maintenance Package starts at $300 a month and averages about $525. The Garden Care Package starts at $130 a month and averages about $250. Your price depends on turf area, bed square footage, plant material, and tree cover. A small in-town lot in the Fan or Church Hill costs less to maintain than a half-acre in Midlothian or Glen Allen with a lot of beds. Our price estimator will give you numbers for your property, and our landscape maintenance cost guide explains what goes into them.

Is landscape maintenance a year-long contract?

Yes. Maintenance agreements cover 12 months and renew automatically, so your property stays on schedule from one season to the next. Services written into the contract cost less than the same work added later.

Do I have to use GSU for turf fertilization?

Every property we maintain has to be on a turf fertilization program, but that program can come from us or from another company. If you use someone else, we coordinate with them so their treatments and our visits don’t conflict.

Do Richmond lawns need fall aeration and overseeding?

For the tall fescue on most Richmond and Henrico yards, yes. Piedmont clay compacts over a season of foot traffic and mowing, and fall core aeration loosens it so water, air, and new seed can reach the roots. September and October are the window for it in Central Virginia, so aeration and overseeding are on our fall calendar.

How does GSU know how I want my place maintained?

You tell us. Meet with your point of contact so they can write down what matters most to you, or email maintenance@gsulandscaping.com. Those notes go into our job management system, which reminds the crew each time they visit your property.

What day will I be serviced, and will I have the same crew every time?

We service most commercial clients early in the week and residential clients closer to the weekend. We also group nearby jobs to save fuel and time, so some residential lawns get serviced earlier in the week. We keep the same crew on your property whenever we can. Most crews are two people, including a team leader, and we add people during leaf season.

How soon can you get started on my property maintenance?

In most cases, service starts within five business days. It depends on the season, the weather, and which services are underway when you sign up. Your point of contact can give you an exact start date.
