Landscaping in Oakridge, Scarborough

Oakridge sits between Lawrence East and Eglinton in central Scarborough, near Scarborough Town Centre. Most of the housing stock is 1950s–70s detached homes on workable-sized lots, and the soil here runs sandy-clay with decent drainage — easier to grow grass on than the heavier clay further east, but still benefits from spring aeration on lawns that have compacted under foot traffic. We've been working Oakridge properties for years, mostly weekly lawn maintenance, spring/fall cleanups, and the occasional driveway interlocking job. A few of our longest-running weekly clients live on this side of Scarborough.

About Oakridge

Oakridge is an established community featuring a mix of housing types, from traditional detached homes to newer semi-detached builds. The neighborhood is characterized by its hilly terrain in some sections, which often requires creative landscaping solutions like retaining walls and tiered gardens. Homeowners here value functional outdoor spaces that can accommodate both gardening and family activities.

What we see in Oakridge yards

Oakridge's sandy-clay soil benefits from annual topdressing with compost in fall. This improves water retention in summer and provides nutrients that keep lawns thick and green.
