Our Work

The lawns in our photos were finished by our crews in Lawrence Park South and Bedford Park-Nortown. Twenty-two are in Lawrence Park South, in the old City of Toronto. The other two sit close by in Bedford Park-Nortown, on the former North York side of the line.

The houses span most of what you pass on a Toronto street: half-timbered Tudors, red-brick Georgians with a walk down the middle, small cottages under big trees, a stucco house, an Edwardian, and new builds in limestone, buff brick and dark modern cladding. We've sorted the photos by house style below, so you can find a front yard shaped like yours.

Look at where the grass meets the hard edges. These lawns run right up to flagstone paths, concrete walks, stepping stones and driveways, and they wrap around armour stone, island beds, boxwood hedges and rows of columnar cedars. Edges are where a careless install shows first, so they are worth a close look.

Plenty of these yards are shaded. Old maples, spruce and a honey locust throw long shadows across the turf, and several photos were taken in autumn with fallen leaves still lying on the grass. A few of the new builds have young trees, still staked, planted right in the lawn.

All 24 are front lawns. Each caption names the neighbourhood where that photo was taken, and we've blurred house numbers and car plates so the owners stay private.
