Landscaping in Centennial, Scarborough

Centennial sits in eastern Scarborough near U of T Scarborough — mid-century homes on big lots with mature oaks and maples, newer townhouse pockets along Lawrence and Morningside, and quiet residential streets where most yards still have full backyards. The clay-heavy soil here holds water through spring and turns hard by mid-summer, and the deep canopy from the older oaks and maples means a lot of properties run shade-tolerant grass mixes (fescue blends do better than ryegrass under those trees). We've been working Centennial yards for over 15 years and know which streets need extra base prep on interlocking jobs and which lots stay wet enough that a weekly cut isn't always realistic in May.

About Centennial

Centennial is an established, family-oriented neighborhood known for its quiet streets and large, mature tree canopy. The housing stock primarily consists of 1960s and 70s bungalows and two-story detached homes sitting on wide lots with significant backyard space. Landscaping in Centennial often focuses on preserving old-growth trees while updating front entrances to modern standards.

What we see in Centennial yards

Centennial's mature tree canopy means many lawns are partially shaded. We recommend overseeding with shade-tolerant fescue blends in fall and aerating annually to combat clay soil compaction.
