Halton Region
Landscaping, decks & fences in Milton, Ontario
In Milton, any deck attached to a house or other structure needs a building permit, whatever its size, and so does a free-standing deck larger than 10 m². Deck height, privacy screens, setbacks and stairs also have to meet the Zoning By-law. Street trees belong to the Town of Milton and can’t be removed by residents. For a tree entirely on your own property, the Town asks you to confirm it’s on your side of the line and recommends a certified arborist before removal; lots over 0.5 hectares or inside the Regional Greenlands System also fall under Halton Region’s tree rules. Doyo books landscaping across Milton: describe the job, see the full price before you book, and pay only when it is done.
