Green Apple Landscaping opened its doors in 1995. Initially, serving only the Beach and East York neighbourhoods, we eventually grew to cover all of Toronto.
From humble beginnings, two men and some shovels, it has grown to be a specialised landscape design + build company. 14 design + build awards and over a thousand clients projects done in these 28 years.
With an in-house landscape designer to experienced in-house construction crews, we tackle anything from backyard makeovers with hot tubs and pools to front yard redo's that create curb appeal. Transform your space!
Our additional speciality in consulting, designing, obtaining permits, and installing front yard parking pads is unique.
MEET OUR TEAM
Owner and General Manager
Peter Solti has now spent over 40 years in the landscape industry. Initially, he started his own landscaping company while in high school. He followed that up by working for other well-known landscape companies in Toronto before starting Green Apple.
He had worked for many years on site constructing the landscape projects thus giving him a rounded knowledge of landscaping from the ground up.
Today, Peter manages the day to day operations and still occasionally works on site. He is a Certified Landscape Professional and a Certified Landscape Technician.
Fred has been Green Apple's in-house landscape designer since 2016. He is a Certified Landscape Designer, having also been in the landscape industry for over 40 years. Fred worked his way up from production to running his own successful landscape company for years. He eventually branched off into design, earning a diploma in landscape design from Sheridan College. He has also won numerous design awards through Landscape Ontario.
Fred uses the latest computer design software to create 2D and 3D landscape designs for our clients. He meets with all clients in the initial consultation stage, designs the project, and then presents the plans to clients, via an online presentation.
He loves designing landscapes and would love to create your landscape makeover. Fred is constantly challenging himself, trying new things, keeping up with trends emerging from Europe and other parts of the world.
Fred is a Certified Landscape Designer.
Production Manager
Simon has been with Green Apple Landscaping since 2011. He is our production manager overseeing job site production. Whether it is hardscape or softscape, Simon excels at them all. His skill set includes interlocking brick pavers, masonry, concrete, carpentry, and planting. He really can do it all.
Simon was a former Hamilton Tiger-cats football player. He has excelled at running his own fencing + decking company. In addition, Simon was one of the first to start an ATM machine company. He has continued that success here at Green Apple.
He has an eye for detail and is a perfectionist. Simon will research any new product that we are installing. He can fix almost anything just as he did when he was a kid, taking apart things to figure out how they worked.
His greatest passion is concrete. He loves anything about concrete. He builds GFRC (glass fibre reinforced concrete) things such as planters in his garage in his spare time. Using what he learned with GFRC, he has improved our mortar joints to be such a high strength concrete that it withstands the corrosive salts that we all need to use on our porches and walkways.
Great finished product! Timely service from initial consultation to design review and completed job. Professional and efficient team. Highly recommend.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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!

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...

We hired Green Apple Landscaping for the landscaping of our front lawn and to redo our driveway. We had a great experience and would hire them again in a heartbeat. From the design phase to the final product, the process was seamless. Fred was fantastic in drawing our vision. Simon and his crew was excellent. They showed up early in the morning and worked 10-11 hours per day. They left the site clean everyday and were very professional, answering any questions that I asked. The project was completed within budget and timeframe. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the look of our front lawn & driveway and would highly recommend Green Apple.
