Landscaping in Birch Cliff, Scarborough

Birch Cliff is the west end of the Scarborough Bluffs, running along Kingston Road with Birchmount Road near its centre. The streets between Kingston Road and the lake hold a mix of small early-1900s cottages and 1940s and 1950s homes, many now rebuilt or added to, and lots tend to be narrow and deep. Close to the bluff edge the soil is sandy and drains fast while newer plantings root in, and lake wind dries beds out. Further inland it is clay. Mature trees are everywhere, so pruning and leaf cleanups keep us busy. We also do lawn care, retaining walls, garden beds, interlocking and seasonal snow contracts for houses.

What we see in Birch Cliff yards

Birch Cliff's sandy bluff soil drains very quickly. Drought-tolerant perennials like lavender, sedum, and ornamental grasses are excellent choices, and slow, deep watering at the base works better than sprinklers on slopes.
