Class G airspace will always start at the ground and go up to 14,500' msl as a maximum.

In remote areas, Glass G may go up to (but not including) 14,500' MSL. In most places, G Airspace starts at the surface and goes up 700' AGL or 1200' AGL where Class E starts.
Class G airspace is the only uncontrolled airspace out there in the United States. Thus, both IFR and VFR traffic is also uncontrolled here. To find out Class G airspace, note that it exists where the other five airspace classes, i.e., Class A, B, C, D, or E, don't.
For the purposes of airplane certification, airplanes are certified in one of three categories: normal, utility, aerobatic. Each category has stress limits of: +3.8Gs and -1.52Gs for normal category airplanes; +4.4Gs and -1.76Gs for the utility category airplane; +6Gs and-3Gs for the aerobatic category airplane.
Practically speaking, it starts at the surface and extends up until it hits Class E airspace. On a map, Class G's ceiling is the floor of Class E airspace. And, it's always exclusive. For example, if Class E starts at 700 feet AGL, Class G goes up to, but doesn't include, 700 feet AGL.
Permission is not required.Think of G as in “Ground” (It's the airspace that covers most of the ground in the U.S.) Class G airspace is uncontrolled airspace that has not been designated as Class A, B, C, D, or E. The only requirements are to have 1 mile of visibility and to stay clear of clouds.
Airspace classes. In the U.S., airspace is categorized as regulatory and non-regulatory. Within these categories exist: controlled (classes A, B, C, D, and E) and uncontrolled (class G) airspace, based on which air traffic control service is provided to IFR flights and some VFR flights.
Class Golf ( Class G ) airspace is the uncontrolled govern free airspace which is void from Air Traffic Control ( ATC ) jurisdiction. Class G airspace supports both Instrument Flight Rules ( IFR ) and Visual Flight Rules ( VFR ) operations within.
In Class G, you can't fly faster than 250 knots when you're below 10,000' MSL. By limiting planes from going faster than 250 knots below 10,000', it's easier for planes to see and avoid each other, helping reduce the chance of mid-air collisions.
Class F. Class F is not used in the United States. In Canada, Class F is the equivalent of U.S. special use airspace including restricted and alert areas, while ICAO defines it as a hybrid of Class E and Class G, in which ATC separation guidance is available but not required for IFR operation.
