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.

The Base Is Everything

Our leadership holds degrees in horticulture, agronomy, and turf management, so the ground a patio sits on is familiar territory. In Virginia’s clay soil, a patio is only as good as the base under it. We excavate, grade, and compact correctly so your patio drains the way it should and stays put instead of sinking or shifting a few winters in.
Service That Stays With You

You won’t get handed off to a stranger halfway through. One point of contact walks your project from the first design conversation to the final walkthrough, and stays reachable after the last paver is set.
Design and Build Under One Roof

We design and install, so your patio, sitting walls, fire feature, plantings, and lighting come together as one cohesive space instead of a patchwork of subcontractors.

Pricing

What a Patio Costs in Richmond & Williamsburg

Every patio we build is custom, so pricing depends on the size and shape of the space, the paver or stone you choose, site access, and how much grading and drainage the ground needs before we set a single paver. Sitting walls, steps, fire features, and lighting factor in too. For a sense of where projects typically land, see our pricing guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a paver patio cost in Richmond and Williamsburg?

Because every patio is custom, the price moves with the square footage, the material you pick, site access, and the grading and drainage the lot needs. A small, simple patio and a large one with sitting walls and a fire feature sit at very different points. Our pricing guide gives a sense of typical ranges, and your proposal will spell out the full scope.

How long does a patio installation take?

Most residential patios take several days to a couple of weeks on site, depending on size, materials, and add-ons like walls or steps. Weather and how much excavation the ground needs both play a part. Once you approve the proposal, we’ll give you a clear timeline and keep you posted as the work moves along.

Will my patio crack, sink, or shift over time?

That comes down to the base, and the base is where a lot of patios go wrong in this region. Virginia’s clay holds water and moves with freeze-thaw cycles, so we excavate to the right depth, install and compact a proper gravel base, and grade for drainage before any pavers go down. Built right, a paver patio can be re-leveled or repaired piece by piece down the road, which is one reason we favor it over poured concrete.

Do I need HOA approval for a patio?

Often, yes. Many HOA communities around Midlothian, Glen Allen, and Short Pump want sign-off on outdoor projects like patios, sitting walls, and drainage changes before work begins. We’ll review your community’s guidelines during the site visit and help prepare whatever the board needs to approve the plan.

Can you add a fire pit, outdoor kitchen, or lighting to the patio?

Yes. A patio is often the starting point for a larger outdoor space. We build sitting walls, steps, fire pits and fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, walkways, and low-voltage landscape lighting, and it’s far easier to plan those in from the start than to retrofit them later.
