Landscaping in Dorset Park
Landscaping in Dorset Park, Scarborough
Dorset Park is a central Scarborough neighbourhood around Lawrence Avenue East and Kennedy Road, with industrial and plaza strips along its main roads and residential streets tucked behind them. Housing is postwar: bungalows and backsplits on 40 to 50 foot lots, plus townhouse complexes and low-rise apartments. Soil is dense clay, so lawns compact and crack in summer, and older driveways tend to be broken up or sunk. On the residential streets we do weekly lawn care, aeration, cleanups, garden beds, interlocking walkway and driveway repairs, and snow clearing on seasonal contracts.
We also run seasonal commercial snow contracts for plazas and condo complexes around Lawrence East and Kennedy. Commercial snow removal in Scarborough.

What we see in Dorset Park yards
Dorset Park's clay soil is notorious for waterlogging in spring and cracking in summer. We recommend core aeration twice yearly and top-dressing with compost to break up clay and improve soil structure over time.

Dorset Park through the year
Apply a pre-emergent crabgrass control in late April for a cleaner lawn all summer.
Mow high and leave clippings on the lawn to return nitrogen to the soil naturally.
Core aerate the lawn in September to relieve soil compaction and improve drainage.
Avoid using heavy salt near the root zones of mature trees along the property line.
