Frequently Asked Questions

Residential landscaping Toronto focuses on transforming outdoor spaces to enhance their functionality and aesthetics. Our professional landscapers can offer two types of services: softscape and hardscape landscaping.

Softscape landscaping involves the living components of a landscape project, such as plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, and grass. These elements contribute texture and vibrant colours to outdoor areas, enriching their visual appeal.

On the other hand, hardscape landscaping involves non-living, structural elements like pathways, decks, and retaining walls. These features are integral in adding functionality and defining distinct zones within a single outdoor space.

Yes, your landscape design plans are required to be submitted to the City of Toronto. As outlined by the city, some of the guidelines include:

  • Any lot frontage between six and 15 metres must have a maximum driveway width of 6.0 metres and a minimum of 50% of the front yard area must be landscaped. Of this, at least 75% must be soft landscaping.
  • Any lot frontage of 15 to 23 metres can have a maximum driveway width of 9 metres, and a minimum of 60% of the front yard area must be landscaped. Of this, at least 75% must be soft landscaping.

Depending on the scope and nature of your project, inspections may be required to ensure compliance with building codes, zoning regulations, and safety standards. Inspections will often cover various aspects of the construction process, including grading, drainage, installation of retaining walls or other structural elements, and adherence to approved plans and permits.

According to local by-laws, irrigation systems installed must be inspected and tested to ensure work meets the installation guidelines submitted to the city. Tree installations are recommended to be inspected yearly, and plant inspections should be conducted to monitor for pests and diseases.

Permits are required for landscaping projects in the city. Site plans must include the dimensions of hard and soft landscape treatments and accessory structures. The process begins with a property survey, followed by submitting your plans to the city via an architect or architectural technician.

At Green Side Up Contracting, we help our clients navigate the permit process from start to finish. We work closely with our network of architects and engineers to confirm your designs are accurate and up to code, ensuring plans are approved as quickly as possible and your project can begin.

The cost of hiring local landscape contractors depends on factors like project size, scope, and customizations. At Green Side Up Contracting, we tailor our services to fit your needs.
