Landscaping, decks & fences in East Gwillimbury, Ontario

East Gwillimbury needs no building permit for an uncovered deck less than 600 mm (24 in) above the ground, or for a storage shed of 15 m² (161 sq ft) or less with no plumbing. Replacing a furnace or hot water tank with the same fuel and heat output, installing an air conditioner or air-to-air heat pump, re-shingling and replacing plumbing fixtures need none either. East Gwillimbury’s Tree Protection By-law covers trees 20 cm (8 in) or more in diameter on private property, measured 1.37 m above the ground. A homeowner may remove up to three live, healthy trees of no more than 30 cm each in a year without a permit, and dead, dying, diseased and hazard trees are exempt; anything else needs a tree permit first.

Landscaping & Decks in East Gwillimbury: common questions

Help centre

By written quote. A pro visits, looks at the space and sends a line-by-line quote in the app. You pay a deposit when you accept it, and Doyo holds that deposit until you confirm the work is done. Part of the pro’s payment is held back for a warranty period after completion, so there is still money on the table if something needs putting right.
