Meet the Team
Simon, Project Manager
Meet Simon, our dedicated Project Manager at Green Apple Landscaping since 2011. With a sharp focus on quality builds, Simon oversees job site production with a meticulous eye for detail in both hardscape and softscape projects. His diverse skill set includes interlocking brick pavers, masonry, concrete, carpentry, and planting, showcasing his mastery in all aspects of landscaping.
Before joining Green Apple, Simon was a former Hamilton Tiger-Cats football player and successfully ran his own fencing and decking company. His entrepreneurial spirit also led him to make waves in the ATM machine industry, where he built a reputation for excellence.
Simon’s commitment to delivering outstanding results is evident in his perfectionist approach. He has a natural curiosity for innovation, researching new products thoroughly before installation — an instinct honed since childhood when he would dismantle objects to understand their mechanics. Concrete is particularly special to Simon; he enjoys crafting glass fibre-reinforced concrete (GFRC) items in his garage. His innovative enhancements to mortar joints ensure high-strength concrete that withstands corrosive salts, contributing significantly to our projects at Green Apple Landscaping.

Fred, Landscape Designer
Since 1985, Fred has been transforming outdoor spaces into places that people love. With over 46 years in the landscaping industry, he’s seen it all — from production work to running his own successful design and build company. Fred knows what works and, more importantly, what makes a landscape truly enjoyable.
About twenty years ago, Fred faced a battle with pancreatic cancer that changed his perspective. He focused his energy on what he loves most: creating beautiful, modern landscape designs that bring people closer to nature. This journey led him to earn a diploma in landscape design from Sheridan College and even teach there, sharing his passion with future designers.
Fred's designs aren’t just about plants and patios; they’re about creating spaces where memories are made. His work as a certified landscape designer has been recognized with multiple awards from Landscape Ontario, but what he values most is the connection with clients and seeing them fall in love with their new outdoor spaces. Whether it’s a cozy backyard oasis or a smart front yard solution, Fred loves creating the perfect outdoor living spaces for you and your family.
Peter — Owner and General Manager
I found my passion for landscaping early—starting at 16—and today, at 62, I’m proud to say I’ve been in the industry for 46 years. I began my journey building landscapes on-site, where I honed my skills and learned the intricacies of outdoor design. Over the years, I transitioned into a managerial role, project managing multiple crews and overseeing the entire design process. This experience has deepened my understanding of what it takes to bring a vision to life.
What began as a love for working outdoors has evolved into a lifelong commitment to helping people transform their outdoor spaces into places they truly enjoy. Having spent countless days and evenings hosting family and friends in my own backyard, I know the joy and pride that come from a beautiful, inviting outdoor space. This feeling of connection and comfort drives me to create the same for my clients. I love creating spaces that invite you to relax, entertain, and take pride in your home. And we make the process as hassle-free as we can for you. Let’s work together to turn your outdoor vision into reality!
