Landscaping in Highbush, Pickering

Highbush is the west edge of Pickering, running from the Toronto border east to Altona Forest, with the CN tracks to the south and the hydro corridor to the north. Altona Road is the main road through. The first homes were built on Pine Grove Avenue and Woodview Avenue between 1900 and 1940, and most of the rest came in the 1980s and 1990s. Houses are mostly detached on large lots, with townhouses on West Creek Drive and Sparrow Circle. Petticoat Creek runs through the neighbourhood from north to south.

About Highbush

Highbush is a treed neighbourhood on Pickering's west edge, between the Toronto border and Altona Forest, with Petticoat Creek running through it. Older homes on Pine Grove Avenue and Woodview Avenue sit alongside 1980s and 1990s subdivisions, mostly detached on large lots. Many yards back onto trees, so native plants and natural stone usually fit better than a formal look.

What we see in Highbush yards

Yards along Altona Forest and Petticoat Creek share a property line with a lot of trees, so leaves and seedlings end up in the beds every year. A fall cleanup that clears the beds and gutters, plus fresh mulch in spring, keeps most of those seedlings from taking hold.
