Landscaping in Breslau
Landscaping for Breslau, the growing village east of Kitchener across the Grand River in Woolwich Township.
Breslau sits just east of Kitchener across the Grand River, along the Region's airport road, and it has grown from a small village into a set of new subdivisions almost overnight. The new-build lots have the same problem as Doon South and Huron Park, often worse: graded clay, thin topsoil, builder sod that died the second summer, and back yards that hold water. The first landscape on those lots is a soil and grading job before it is a planting job, and the finished grade has to respect the lot-grading plan filed with Woolwich Township. The older part of the village and the rural properties around it are a different landscape: bigger lots, older trees, wind coming across open fields, and gardens that need to be built for exposure. Windbreak planting, tough native shrubs and a lawn seeded with a drought-tolerant blend make more sense here than anything delicate. Breslau is also close to the Grand, and lots near the river or the smaller creeks that feed it can be in areas regulated by the Grand River Conservation Authority, which matters for walls, grading and anything that changes where water goes. That gets checked before a plan is drawn. Many properties on the rural edge are on wells, which makes the Region's approach to water use a practical matter as well as a rule; a landscape that needs a sprinkler every evening is not the right landscape for a Breslau well. Travel to Breslau is built into the written quote, and it is a short run from Kitchener along Victoria Street or Fairway Road.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge more for Breslau or Waterloo?
No. Waterloo and Breslau are covered on the same terms as Kitchener, with travel built into the written quote up front rather than added afterwards.
What is different about a new-build lot in Doon South or Huron Park?
The soil. These lots were graded with heavy equipment on clay, and the topsoil is thin. Lawns and beds need the ground fixed before anything goes in, and the finished grade has to respect the lot-grading plan the builder filed. That is all checked during the site walk.
