Lakeshore, river valleys and mature neighbourhoods

Etobicoke runs from Lake Ontario up past the Humber River and Mimico and Etobicoke creeks, and many established neighbourhoods have mature trees close to the house. That matters for where deck footings can go.

We check tree protection zones and ravine mapping for your address during the design stage, so the layout works before any digging starts.

Etobicoke deck and fence questions

Do I need a permit for a deck in Etobicoke?
Etobicoke is part of the City of Toronto, which requires a building permit for a deck more than 60 cm (24 in) above the ground. Lower decks don't need a building permit but still have to meet zoning, including setbacks from property lines.
How tall can a fence be in Etobicoke?
Under the City of Toronto fence bylaw, most rear and side yard fences can be up to 2.0 m (6 ft 7 in), or 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) where the fence backs onto a road, a public walkway or a non-residential or apartment property. In the front yard, the limit is 1.2 m (just under 4 ft) within 2.4 m (just under 8 ft) of the street and 2.0 m (6 ft 6 in) beyond that.
Can you build a deck around an existing tree?
Often, yes. If the tree is 30 cm (about 1 ft) or wider, or anywhere in a ravine-protected area, work near it may need a City permit. We plan footings outside the protection zone where we can, or include the permit in the scope where we can't.
I'm near the lake. Does that affect my deck?
It can affect material choices. We walk through how composite, PVC and wood hold up in exposed spots and recommend hardware and fasteners suited to the location.
