In Pickering

What we see locally.

Pickering is two markets. North of the 401 the new communities are still filling in, and those yards arrive as bare grade with everything still to build. South of it, the older lakeside neighbourhoods have mature lots, established trees and surfaces that have been through forty winters. Lake exposure also matters more than people expect — wind and freeze-thaw are harder on an exposed south-facing lot.

New communities

  • Builder-grade yards
  • Full backyard builds from bare grade
  • Side access paths
  • Grading corrected before anything is laid

Older south end

  • Mature lots and established trees
  • Original surfaces long past their life
  • Careful excavation near root zones
  • Drainage corrections on settled ground

Near the lake

  • More wind and exposure
  • Harder freeze-thaw cycling
  • Material selection matters more
  • Edge restraint and joints checked more often

Questions

Pickering, answered.

Do I need a permit to redo a driveway in Pickering?

Replacing a driveway in its existing footprint generally does not need a building permit. Widening it, or cutting a new curb across the boulevard, does need approval from the City of Pickering, and the rules on maximum width and how much of the front yard can be hard surface differ between municipalities. We confirm what applies to your address before quoting.

How quickly can you start in Pickering?

It depends on the season. Spring and early summer are booked over the winter, so a job signed in January is usually in the ground by April. Interior work has much shorter lead times year-round.

Do you charge extra for travel?

No. Pickering is inside our normal working radius from Stouffville, which is deliberately kept tight — travel time comes out of the working day, and a contractor who is two hours away is a contractor who does not come back.

Will you come back if something settles?

Yes. Minor settling in the first season is not unusual and lifting and resetting a small area is straightforward. Being twenty minutes away is the practical reason we can do that.
