Landscaping in Don Mills
Landscaping in Don Mills, North York
Don Mills was planned in the 1950s as one of Canada's first master-planned suburbs, with curving crescents, school and park land in the middle and a retail centre where the Shops at Don Mills now stands, at Don Mills Road and Lawrence Avenue East. Mid-century bungalows and split-levels on generous lots are the signature, and the East Don River valley, Wilket Creek and Edwards Gardens run along the western side. Lots are well treed, so leaf load and shade lawns are the norm, and the soil swings from clay on the flats to freer-draining ground near the ravine. We do lawn care, hedge and shrub work, cleanups, garden beds, stone and interlocking walkways and patios, and seasonal snow contracts.
We also take on seasonal commercial snow contracts for plazas and condo complexes around Don Mills Road. Commercial snow removal in North York.
