Dive into Luxury: Why Fiberglass Pools are Making Waves in Backyard Design

Ever dream of turning your backyard into a personal oasis, complete with a pool that’s not just functional but also stunning? At Green Apple Landscaping, we believe that dream is closer to reality than you think—especially with the magic of fiberglass pools. They’re fast, sleek, and, let’s face it, it will give you lots to do with your friends and family. See all the shapes, sizes and styles that are available: Leisure Pools Canada There are ones with built-in spas, ledges to sit on, and rectangular ones for swimming laps.


Fast Installation: From Dream to Dive in No Time

If patience isn’t your strong suit, fiberglass pools are the perfect solution. Unlike traditional concrete pools, which can take months of digging, pouring, and waiting, fiberglass pools are pre-manufactured and can be installed in as little as a week. That means less time listening to the symphony of construction equipment and more time sipping a cool drink by your brand-new pool. Sound good? We thought so.

Low Maintenance, High Enjoyment

Nobody wants to spend their weekends scrubbing pool walls or dealing with green water surprises. Fiberglass pools have a non-porous surface that resists algae growth, so you can cut down on cleaning time and chemicals. Think of it as your low-maintenance best friend—always ready when you are and never asking for too much.


Perfect for Saltwater Systems

Considering a saltwater pool? Smart move. They’re gentler on your skin, eyes, and swimwear, and they just feel more luxurious. Fiberglass is an ideal match for saltwater systems because it doesn’t corrode like other materials. Plus, you’ll have all the benefits of that silky-smooth water experience without worrying about long-term damage to your pool.

Why Start with a Landscape Design and Build Company?

When you start your pool journey with a landscape and pool design company like Green Apple, you’re not just getting a pool—you’re getting a fully functional, beautifully integrated backyard that works for your life. Sure, pool companies know pools, but do they know how to make sure the surrounding patios are perfect for your planned daytime and evening entertaining needs such as tanning, lounging, dining, BBQing, and a shady area to get out of the sun? Or how to blend gardens and privacy features seamlessly? That’s where we have the experience and care about the outcomes.



Case Study: "Small But Mighty | The Danforth"

The evidence that even a very small backyard in downtown Toronto can benefit from a pool is our "Small But Mighty | The Danforth" project. Our client dreamed of having a luxurious pool in a compact backyard. We incorporated a sleek 16’ x 8’ fiberglass pool. We also added a lounging patio with a fire bowl, modern horizontal cedar fencing for privacy, and lush landscaping to create a harmonious outdoor escape. The result? A space that’s as functional as it is stunning—a true urban oasis.

Small Swimming Pool Design: Big Impact

Let’s face it: not everyone has acres of land for a pool, but that doesn’t mean you have to compromise. Small swimming pool designs, like the one in our Danforth project, can pack a big punch. Whether it’s creating a cool spot to unwind on a hot day or transforming your backyard into an entertainer’s paradise, even a compact pool can redefine how you use your outdoor space.

How a Pool Enhances Your Life

Having a pool isn’t just about the cool factor (although that’s a big plus). It’s about enhancing your life in ways you never imagined. It’s where your kids will learn to swim, where you’ll cool off after a long day, and where summer BBQs turn into unforgettable evenings. It’s a space for connection, relaxation, and, most importantly, fun.

Imagine lounging by your saltwater pool, cocktail in hand, while the kids splash around, or hosting your friends for a poolside dinner under the stars. Pools are more than water and tiles—they’re the backdrop to a lifetime of memories.
