Working in Oakville

Oakville is a mix of old and new, with older neighbourhoods toward the lake and newer subdivisions north of the QEW. Many clients here want a back yard they can live in: pavilions, kitchens, pools and lounges.

Do tree permits in Oakville need an arborist report?

Yes. Oakville takes its tree canopy seriously. Tree permits are detailed and need an arborist report. When a job needs a permit, we handle it, report included.

Do I need a permit to change the grade in Oakville?

Often, yes. Oakville is the strictest of our towns on this: changing the grade, placing fill or removing soil needs a permit unless the work is on the exempt list. We design the grading so your water stays on your lot, usually with a swale (a shallow channel that carries water away).

The Back Bar

A yard built for hosting: a reclaimed barnboard bar under the wisteria, a Douglas fir pavilion by the pool, and an outdoor kitchen.
