Ajax Concrete Contractor · Reformity Inc.Concrete & Asphalt Driveways in Ajax
In Ajax, a concrete driveway usually carries on across the apron, the hard surface on the Town boulevard between your lot and the road. The Road Occupancy By-law allows aprons of asphalt, concrete, interlock, crushed stone or gravel, but if the Town, the Region or a utility has to work in the boulevard, it only has to restore the apron in asphalt and the rest in sod. Within 45 cm of a sidewalk, boulevard work can't sit above the sidewalk's grade, so we set the finished height to suit.

Concrete & Asphalt permits in Ajax
Aprons within the zoning width need no application, but a curb change needs a Curb Cut Application with a concept drawing and a below-grade entrance needs a building permit with a survey and cross-section — Reformity prepares the drawings and handles both applications.

Driveway widening
Widening the driveway on your lot to your zone's maximum (3.0–7.8 m in most residential zones) needs no application or fee, and the apron can be widened to the zoning maximum if it keeps the Town's setbacks, including 3.0 m from hydrants, 1.0 m from utilities and 1–2 m from Town trees. A wider curb cut needs a Curb Cut Application with a concept drawing; only the Town or its contractors cut the curb.
Town of Ajax: driveway widening & curb cutsFront-yard paving
Ajax zoning counts any hard surface touching the driveway toward its maximum width for your zone (3.0–7.8 m in most residential zones), unless it's a permitted driveway-adjacent walkway or is raised at least 0.15 m above the driveway. Front-yard parking has to stay on the driveway and that walkway.

Outside the apron, the boulevard between the road and your lot line is limited to decorative landscaping such as grass, sod, mulch or decorative stone, unless the by-law allows otherwise, with plants no taller than 0.6 m. Artificial turf, bare dirt and parking off the apron aren't allowed, and irrigation, electrical work or digging more than 30 cm down needs a complex encroachment agreement.
Ajax Road Occupancy By-law 48-2025 (PDF)Site alteration & grading
The Town's planning page says a Sediment and Erosion Control Permit is needed before removing topsoil, placing fill or grading land in Ajax. It gives no size threshold or exemption for small residential projects, so we confirm with the Town before a backyard regrade or fill job.

Ajax Concrete & Asphalt FAQ
Quick answers.
Yes. Ajax lists below-grade entrances as building permit work, and the application needs a site plan or survey showing the stairwell's distance to every property line, plus fully dimensioned drawings, including a cross-section through the walkout, that carry the designer's qualification information.
