How much does landscape design cost?

Pricing varies by project scope. Major redrawing is billed at $150 per design hour. We discuss budget during your initial consultation so the design fits your goals.

What does the landscape design process look like?

You schedule a consultation online, watch a short pre-meeting video, and think through your budget. Our team then meets with you on-site, listens to your ideas, and builds a custom plan factoring in soil, drainage, existing trees, and your home's foundation.

Do you warranty plants and hardscape installations?

Yes. Plants installed by GSU come with a one-year warranty, and hardscaping features carry a three-year warranty.

What areas does Green Side Up serve?

We serve homeowners across Richmond, Williamsburg, Midlothian, and surrounding communities in Virginia.

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.
