    Outside Front Steps

    Green Apple; Skilled, professional, timely and fair pricing (we obtained 3 quotes). They have raised the standard for reputable contractors! Dave and his Team did a great job fixing our front steps - which were left a mess after our last contractor's work - leak in basement, etc... Green Apple was able to salvage our beautiful (massive) stone steps, waterproof the side of the house, put a SOLID cement pad and steps down before carefully placing the stone steps on top, angled properly for water runoff. (I'm sure there were other stages I've not mentioned) They arrived before we left for work and were there till after we came home. They cleaned up after themselves, were quiet, fast and diligent. We have already recommended them to our friends and if we ever need hardscape or gardening help again, we'll happily call on Green Apple.

    Thank you Sera for placing this great review. I hope the steps are still looking great.

    Deck, front and back landscaping

    Peter, Andrea and the Green Apple crew did great job from start to finish on out home project. They talked to us daily and ensured we were happy with the final result and 2 years later they continue to provide us good advice and options ( free of charge!) on maintenance and ideas for new projects, some of them DIY. Green Apple is one of those rare contractors that let their product and satisfied customers generate them new business, not sharp ads and by low ball quotes. They built us a good solid deck and 'scorched the earth' and provided us with a new look n our front and back yards. our neighbors said we are trying to get into "House and Home' magazine. I am glad we went with a professional company rather than a deck builder and a gardener. We had some water drainage issues in our yard that would have been a disaster for our new deck and garden if Peter and his crew had not assessed the problem and built us a french drains to siphon water away from the house. Green Apple is not cheap but they provide good value and will pick up the phone after their finished which gives them extra points in my book. Thx Green Apple.

    Thanks Micheal for the great review! You're backyard makeover turned out really nice and you have been a pleasure to work with. I think you summarized our business model well - offer quality and service to our clients and they will appreciate this more in the short and long run than a low price.

    Landscaping

    After meeting with several landscapers, we hired Green Apple to remove a concrete parking pad from the front of our house, and replaced with soft landscaping and a permeable walkway. Dave and his crew created a lovely walkway and three flowerbeds. They were punctual and the craftsmanship is terrific. Dave is friendly, responsive and sincere with his recommendations. He took the time to go over several options with us and was very accommodating to changes we wanted to make. Highly recommended!

    Thanks Jonquil for the great review! Your front yard now will look more lush with the large planting bed instead of the concrete that was there, and the Permacon Amalfi pavers are much nicer than the plain poured concrete. I appreciated working with you on your project and hope that we can do it again for the landscaping in your backyard next year. Dave.

    Patio, walkway and garden project

    We conducted several quotes for our recent landscaping projects, and Peter's strength in customer service and landscaping expertise shined through from the beginning. We were able to work out a solid plan on budget that would deliver a much improved curb appeal and improved outdoor living space upon completion. With a fantastic onsite team led by Victor, these guys really walked the talk and were able to finish up on schedule, meeting or exceeding all our expectations. Even when mother nature's plans got in the way, there was always a solid contingency to ensure all was completed without compromising quality. Overall a great experience, and our neighbours have also shared their feedback about the team's professionalism and courtesy while onsite. Appreciate all your team's great work - thanks for treating our property like your own...

    Thanks for the really great review Ted! It was a pleasure working with you to meet your budget and beautify your home. I look forward to the next job you have for us. Peter

    Landscaping for Loft Building

    What really stood out when dealing with Green Apple Landscaping was the amazing customer-service Peter provided! He was always respectful and helpful when answering my questions and concerns. Some trades people are so busy and knowledgeable they can be intimidating and abrupt. Not Peter! Peter’s customer service made this experience informative and fun. He listened and helped to make sure we got what we want while always offering his expert opinion to make sure it would look great and do well. The crew worked very quickly, were professional and knowledgeable. We received multiple bids for our project and Green Apple's price was very competitive. Ultimately, Peter found a way to meet our budget so we could get everything we wanted at a price we were happy with. For their excellent customer service, knowledgeable professionalism, fantastic execution, flexibility and competitive pricing, I give this company 10/10 stars and I would use them every time. Thanks Peter and Team!

    Rear Yard

    We have been a long standing client of Green Apple and they have done done all of the professional landscaping at our home. Everything has been great, starting at the design phase, through construction and to the final product. Over time we have needed some mainteance to be performed on our garden and Green Apple's post completion service has also been amazing. We only have positive things to say about Peter and his wonderful crew.

    Backyard landscaping

    Green Apple Landscaping did a fabulous job designing and building a beautiful new backyard layout for our home in the Beach. Our lot isn't huge so we decided to get rid of the little bit of high maintenance grass and go with a stone patio and perennial planting bed. The design process was very interactive, taking into account our use of the space and desire for low maintenance. There was easy dialogue on adjusting the initial design and cost estimate to meet budget constraints. Once the design was finalized the wait time for construction to begin was reasonable. The construction crew was very professional and efficient, on site early, managed the equipment well, and completed the project exactly to the specs. They were respectful of neighbors and kept the job site very clean. We are extremely happy with the end result, will use Green Apple again for our next project (front yard) and would definitely recommend them to others.

    Thanks Martha for a great review! Look forward to working on your front landscaping project next year.

    Front yard parking pad and landscaping

    We came across Green Apple Landscaping on Homestars and were immediately impressed with their portfolio of pictures. We were in the process of applying for approval for a front yard parking pad and wanted a professional company that would help us through the design process. The initial meeting with Peter left my wife feeling very comfortable and the next step was to have Andrea come out and discuss the details. She is amazing! Andrea’s designs were very thorough and professional. I can’t imagine the process without her designs. The crew (lead by Victor) were very professional and unbelievably fast. We actually went out of town for a few days expecting to back to a construction site. But when we arrived home they were already finished (parking pad, walkway, garden preps, and retaining wall in the front plus the patio and boulders in the back). We were a little worried that the process would inconvenience our neighbours. But when we spoke to them afterwards their first comment was that, “we had the nicest parking pad they had seen in the neighbourhood” and complimented us on choosing such quality contractors. Since the completion of our project I have spent a fair bit of time watering the new plants and sod. I have literally met dozens of people who have stopped to comment on how beautiful our landscaping looks. I am a stickler for details and Peter and the team have been a pleasure to deal with and even down to the smallest detail, he made everything perfect. From my perspective you can’t go wrong with Green Apple. The people are great and the quality of the work is fantastic. Thank you Green Apple.

    Thanks Jonathan for the exceptional review! It was great working with you on the project. It will be a lot more convenient to park in front of your house, rather than a half block away from now on. May you have many years of easy parking.

    Landscape front/side/back yards

    We are thrilled with the landscaping work completed by Peter and his team. We initially contacted Green Apple with the intent to only landscape our back and side yards. However, after our first meeting with Andrea, the designer, we were more than impressed by her portfolio and decided to expand our project to include our front yard. We now have a beautiful outdoor living space that exceeds our expectations. We chose Green Apple because we didn't want the run of the mill design for our outdoor space. We researched quite a few landscaping companies before we decided on Green Apple. While there are companies out there that will do the job cheaper, at the end of the day, you get what you pay for and Green Apple was the best choice for us. We didn't want to compromise on the quality of work and level of customer service. Victor (our foreman) is extremely talented and he, along with Peter and Andrea, always came up with an innovative solution each time we needed to modify the original plans. Quite a few neigbours and other people passing by our house have commented on our beautiful yard. We would highly recommend Green Apple to others. Peter/Andrea/Victor: We can't thank you enough for helping us transform our once unused and overgrown yard into an extension of our living space!

    Thanks Amanda for the great review! I look forward to seeing the landscaping this year now that the plants will have filled in more.

    parking pad

    Peter came to our home and spent a good deal of time talking about our project. His designer, Andrea, worked very hard to design a parking pad that complied with the strict requirements of the City. She did an excellent job and met all the criteria. The crew that did the work was efficient, respectful in demeanour and language and executed the plan exactly. They worked tidily and cleaned up thoroughly. Many neighbours and strangers have commented on the pleasing appearance of the space. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.
