Lawns and Yards in Scarborough
Scarborough's southern edge is the Scarborough Bluffs, cliffs that reach up to 91.4 m and are studied worldwide as a record of the Wisconsin glacial stage. Sand washing off them even feeds the beaches to the west. For a homeowner up top, the practical point is simpler: the shoreline is regulated, and yard work near it gets checked before it starts.
Inland, ravines follow Highland Creek and the Rouge River across the district. Between them, plenty of lawns have been patched for years, and the question we hear is whether to keep patching or start again. Our answer depends on what is under the turf, and we will show you at the site visit.
The photos below are all real Right On Sod lawns, and each caption names the neighbourhood where our crew laid it.
Birch Cliff
Birch Cliff sits at the western end of the Bluffs along Kingston Road, just east of The Beaches, with Fallingbrook at its west end. It was among the first parts of Scarborough built up as a suburb. Yards near the cliff edge may fall in TRCA's regulated area; lots set back from it are usually ordinary strip-and-replace jobs.
Guildwood
Guildwood Village was laid out on the old Guild Inn estate, and its owners shaped the plan to keep as many trees as they could. That canopy is lovely, but Kentucky Bluegrass sod wants at least 4–6 hours of direct sun daily, so we check how much light each part of the lawn gets. Where shade is too heavy for sod, we say so.
Agincourt
Agincourt began as a farming village and was suburbanised as postwar demand for housing grew. On lots of that vintage, a lawn that has been reseeded year after year is often more weeds than grass. Stripping it and laying new sod is the cleaner fix, and the regrade can happen in the same visit.
West Hill
In West Hill we take each yard on its own terms. We measure the lawn, see how the ground falls, look for low spots where water sits, and quote only the prep that yard needs. Any lot backing onto a ravine gets the same permit check we run anywhere else in the city.

WHY RIGHT ON SOD
Why Scarborough Homeowners Call Right On Sod
Old Turf Removed, Not Buried
We strip the old lawn and take it away instead of rolling new sod over it, so the new roots reach real soil.
Shoreline and Valley Checks
Near the Bluffs, Highland Creek or the Rouge, we look your lot up in TRCA's Regulated Area Search before any fill or regrading is planned.
Bin Permits Built Into the Quote
A lawn removal fills a bin. If the bin has to sit on the road, the City charges $73.89 plus HST per day in 2026 for a Street Occupation Permit outside a Construction Hub. We confirm that at the site visit and include it.
WSIB Cover on Every Job
Our crews are WSIB-covered and fully insured, which matters when the work runs right up to your foundation or a neighbour's fence.

SCARBOROUGH QUESTIONS
Scarborough Sod Questions
Can you replace the lawn on a post-war bungalow lot?
Yes. A lawn that old has usually been overseeded, patched and walked on for decades, and the soil under it may have settled toward the house. We strip it, haul it off, regrade the sunken spots and lay fresh-cut sod, and our crew gives it the first soak before leaving. The whole job typically takes a day or two.
Do you work on lots near the Scarborough Bluffs?
Yes, once the permit question is answered. TRCA regulates development along the Lake Ontario shoreline, and under Ontario Regulation 41/24 landscaping can count as development there. If your yard is in a regulated area, TRCA's landscaping application asks for fill volumes in cubic metres and any grade changes, so we never add soil near the edge until that is settled.
Do you cover Agincourt and West Hill?
Yes. Both sit inside our service area, along with Birch Cliff, Guildwood and the rest of Scarborough. Use the quote form at the top of this page or call (226) 213-5179, and we will call you back within one business day to set up a site visit.
