  • Bring along your driver’s licence and fill out a quick borrower’s form.

Garden Guidelines:

At Rathdowne, we’re on a mission to become the greenest community in the North and every front garden plays a part!

To help our neighbourhood stay cool, lush, and sustainable, please ensure your garden includes:

  • At least one canopy tree.
  • A variety of plants, lawn, garden beds, and small to medium shrubs.

Artificial lawns might be low-maintenance, but they’re not great for our environment, that’s why they’re not permitted in front landscaping or anywhere visible from the street.

Why natural grass wins every time:

  • Absorbs carbon dioxide, provides oxygen, and filters dust for cleaner air.
  • Creates a habitat for insects, birds, and other wildlife.
  • Improves water quality and prevents soil erosion.
  • Reduces noise — and even boosts your mood!

So grab your gloves, get your hands dirty, and let’s make Rathdowne bloom brighter than ever this spring!
