MODERN LANDSCAPES DESIGN + BUILD

We used Green Apple for two projects at our north Toronto home. The first was a smaller project: building a parking pad and doing some front yard landscaping. The second was a much bigger project: a complete demolition and redesign of our backyard. We were extremely happy with the first project that Green Apple did for us so we didn’t think twice about retaining them for the second project. Our backyard presented more than a few challenges, the biggest of which was the fact that it contained an almost 45 degree slope. Green Apple came up with a design that was both practical and beautiful. They took the time to do things right the first time. No corners were cut. Peter’s crew was amazing. Th...

We are so happy about how our backyard turned out - from a complete tear down to building a fence to match the existing one, retaining wall, stone paver path, and three-tier deck. Peter has a fantastic team. Fred (landscape designer) was so creative to come up with the plan with our limited space and very patient to listen to our needs. Simon, Paul, Rob, and Shawn were true professionals. They are extremely detailed oriented and care about their craft. They certainly don't cut corners. Every time we had unexpected issues, they were able to come up with new solutions. They were very patient, friendly, and very professional. We cannot praise them enough for the kind of service they provided us...

We just completed a full backyard re-design with Green Apple and we are so impressed! From the get go, Peter responded quickly to all emails and answered all of our questions. From our first meeting with Fred, the designer, we knew we had chosen the right company. Their professionalism, friendliness, attention to detail and knowledge of all things landscaping is top notch. We can’tsay enough about Green Apple and their amazing work. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a landscaping design company. Know that you will be a satisfied customer from beginning to end. A big note of thanks to Peter, Fred, Simon, Paul and the rest of the awesome team.

We were looking to do something with our backyard space that consisted only of a lawn of weeds, an old metal shed and a chain link fence. From the moment we met Peter, Fred and Simon from the Green Apple team we knew we were in good hands. During the design process, Fred was able to bring his vision to light while displaying his talent for design that still managed to include all the elements we discussed while being considerate of what we wanted and needed for the space. Peter was extremely considerate of our budget and provided two separate itemized quotes that allowed us to see exactly what each aspect of the project would cost while providing his expertise and knowledge in what we might ...

Wow! This company did a fantastic job on our back garden. The quality of work is supported with excellent communication throughout the process. They were flexible to our needs and were very responsive. I thoroughly recommend Green Apple without reservation

We couldn't be happier with our front yard landscaping. The workmanship and attention to deal exceeded our expectations and the onsite crew was great to deal with. We would highly recommend Green Apple Landscaping to anyone.

Peter and his team did a complete teardown and rebuild of our backyard (a Toronto semi) over a couple of months in 2020, installing two new fences with gates, two new decks, a stone patio with natural gas fire pit, and fresh landscaping. From consultation, to design, to planning and construction, the whole process was seamless and professional. My wife and I have demanding jobs and appreciated Peter and Simon's approach to managing issues and changes with the project, never bringing us problems for which they hadn't already developed solution options. The team delivered at a consistently high quality from design to execution, and Peter's communication throughout the project was excellent. I ...

Peter at Green Apple was that "right guy". Peter's customer service centric approach made every major or minor change/challenge to the our project an smooth and easy one. He is transparent, honest, and attentive. His crew is professional, knowledgeable, and very hard working. Simon, the foreman, is a very smart man. Simon is able to identify issues and problems ahead of time. And Simon will consult with others before adjusting the project plan/work accordingly. This is a solid team. Fred, the designer at Green Apple was able to come up with a plan that was the "right price". Green Apple's quote not the cheapest quote I received, but their pricing seemed very fair for the scope of work ...

I have never written a review, good or bad before, but after having Green Apple complete front and back yard landscaping for us, I thought it was important to share my experience. We had previously had flooding in our basement twice and right away when Fred arrived (the designer) he commented we had a grading issue. Grading and basement flood prevention were important to us and Fred's plans emphasized that as well. The implementation of the plan was left to Simon the foreman. Simon was one of the hardest working individuals I have ever met. He was also meticulous and very detailed oriented. The crew did a fantastic job cleaning up every night. Even the neighbours were complimentary of...

Excellent work and professional design. Peter, Frederik and the crew at Green Apple were a pleasure to deal with. They completely overhauled our front yard with a new walkway and steps, retaining wall and a new front porch. Peter kept us up to date on progress and any necessary design changes, is extremely knowledgeable and always available for any questions. We would gladly work with them again.

Green Apple Landscaping consists of a small team of people who care, are passionate, are conscientious, believe in customer satisfaction, confidently operate specialized equipment and machinery, and demonstrate daily that they take pride in their work and workmanship. From our initial investigative contact with Peter, to the measuring and design vision phase with Fred, and straight through to the construction and craftsmanship details executed by Victor, Simon, and GP, we were wowed! All of them are experienced and hardworking professionals. They kept our budget in mind, welcomed last-minute requests, were always available for on-site consultations and questions, and were meticulous an...

Peter and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with from beginning to end. Their design expertise and patience with our decision making combined with their expertise on getting city approvals really got the project off to a good start. The on-site crew was a pleasure to deal. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. The site was left very clear everyday. The project was on time and on budget and best of all, our house has been completely transformed. We highly recommend Peter and his team.

Our experience with Green Apple Landscaping could not have been better. They were worth every penny and would not hesitate to use or recommend them for any landscaping construction project. Our project was to build a parking pad on a detached house in The Beaches. There is a lot of red tape to get a permit from the city to do this and Peter and his team are experts at helping you through this process. After having gone through all the steps, I think there is a good chance we would have failed at some point along the way if we had selected a cheaper landscape contractor. So, for this alone they are worth selecting but in addition Green Apple Landscaping is: -Responsive and easy to work ...

Green Apple Landscaping did a terrific job. We bought a house that didn't have any landscaping done to it and Peter's designer designed a truly backyard oasis and front yard showcase for us. They designed a wood screening on one side and huge beech tree screening on the other with cedars around the fenced perimeter. They also designed/installed gardens with unique plants and trees that I've never seen before and installed a huge patio with different designs that matched our existing stairs. They also designed our front garden with tall ornamental grasses, trees and plants. Peter also designed automatically timed garden lighting for both our front and backyards, that showcases our house a...

Professional and precise are 2 of the words to describe Peter and his team. Their experience and professionalism helped us through some challenges presented by tight city spaces. Their innovative design paired with lighting, and plants gives our property great curb appeal, making a small space look defined and classy. The front landscape is now an extension of our home. We are thrilled and highly recommend Green Apple Landscaping.

Sheila Sheila

We were very pleased with Green Apple from start to finish. They listened to our needs and style preferences, translated them into a design that was perfect for us, and delivered with excellence. Working from home, I can definitely attest every step was done methodically and properly. We feel very confident in the quality and durability of the work. And of course, it’s beautiful. Their team was professional, hard working, and courteous - even our neighbours remarked on this! Even with a couple unexpected issues, Peter and his team were quick to resolve. Thanks Peter and team for a beautiful backyard space we’ll enjoy for years to come! I definitely recommend Green Apple.

I had an extremely professional experience with Peter and his team. There was always two way communication so you know you are being heard and the results were outstanding. On time, on budget and a great team to work with.

We are SO THRILLED with the landscaping at the front and our new back deck. Our back area presented some real challenges with various access points into the house and yard but your team was able to provide a relaxing, private and elegant entertaining space. The added soft lightening gives definition to the new deck and large trees. It has been transformative for the exterior of the house and the compliments from neighbours, family and friends are endless. Victor, Simon and J.P. worked incredibly hard, the quality of their work and attention to detail is excellent. Victor made great recommendations on site and helped us make it a space we both love.

Kate Smith

Project: landscape front yard -- including lighting, planting, retaining wall and lighting. The project estimate was thorough - provided 3D design including pictures of the plants to help make decisions. Innovative design, great attention to detail especially with the gradient of the walkway and water table, excellent workmanship. On time and within budget and extremely flexible with making some changes as we go along the projects. Would use again to do the backyard.

Rena Rena

We have worked with Green Apple Landscaping on 4 separate occasions since 2009, at our home and business, and each time we are thrilled with the result and the quality of the finished project. The crew is reliable, efficient, meticulous, and extremely knowledgeable. Peter keeps the lines of communication open throughout the project, making for a smooth and fluent process. As with most renovations, complications can arise, but Victor, Simon, and GP always rise to the challenge and find unique and ingenious solutions. Highly recommended, without reservations!

Greg and Bianca

This is the second time we have used Green Apple for landscaping work, both times we've been impressed and excited with the results that the Green Apple team came up with. This time, they took a relatively small backyard space and transformed it using plants, trees and lighting to make it a comfortable private space that begs you to spend time in it !. The additional lighting around the property that Peter's team suggested has garnered numerous compliments from neighbours and visitors, the team seems to have a knack for piecing together a cohesive package that is both pleasing to the eye and extremely functional !......we look forward to the next project !!

We recently used Green Apple Landscaping for a complete back yard transformation. We are absolutely delighted with the end result and would highly recommend Green Apple for the following 3 reasons: 1) COST -- We found the cost to be very reasonable, but more importantly transparent. We don't mind paying more for certain things that are important: great design (see further below), structural longevity and high quality materials. From the initial design phase and through every step, we had conversations with the knowledgeable Green Apple team to understand the alternatives and make the best informed choice. This distinguishes the average from the exceptional; we feel that Green Apple had th...
