York Region
Landscaping, decks & fences in Richmond Hill, Ontario
Richmond Hill’s Building Division issues permits for finished basements, basement walkouts, decks and sunrooms, and any plumbing or HVAC alteration. A deck needs one if it is attached to the house, more than 600 mm (2 ft) above grade, or larger than 10 m² (108 sq ft). A shed of 10 m² or less with no plumbing does not. Richmond Hill’s Tree Preservation By-law needs a permit to cut any tree 15 cm or more in diameter at breast height — a lower line than most of York Region, so check before a yard cleanup takes anything larger than a sapling. Doyo books landscaping across Richmond Hill: describe the job, see the full price before you book, and pay only when it is done.
