Landscaping, decks & fences in Vaughan, Ontario
In Vaughan an uncovered deck needs no building permit if it is no more than 18.6 m² (about 200 sq ft), no more than 0.6 m (2 ft) above grade and not attached to the house; anything bigger, higher or attached does. A shed or other accessory building of 10 m² or more needs a permit too. Vaughan’s Tree Protection By-law 177-2025 covers private trees 20 cm in diameter or more: removing one needs a permit and, unless it is dead, hazardous or ash-borer infested, an arborist report. Allow about 30 business days. Doyo books landscaping across Vaughan: describe the job, see the full price before you book, and pay only when it is done.
