Ajax Interlocking Contractor · Reformity Inc.Interlocking Driveways & Patios in Ajax
On an Ajax driveway, interlock often has a second job: showing where the driveway ends. A driveway-adjacent walkway, up to 1.8 m wide on the front-door side and 0.6 m on the other, has to be set apart from the driveway by a change in material, colour or pattern, so a contrasting paver band does it neatly. Where that walkway meets a front path or patio, the joint can be no wider than 1.5 m. We draw the border, walkway and driveway together, up to your zone's maximum driveway width.

Checked against official municipal and provincial sources. Lots differ, so we confirm the rules for your address at the quote visit.
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 cutsConservation areas
Most Ajax residents (86%) live within TRCA's jurisdiction. TRCA regulates development in or near valley and stream corridors, wetlands and the Lake Ontario shoreline; inside a regulated area, a deck, pool or shed can need a TRCA permit, and the Town can't legally issue a building permit until TRCA has given a permit or clearance.
TRCA: decks & permitsFront-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.
Ajax Zoning By-law 95-2003 (PDF)Boulevards
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 Interlocking FAQ
Quick answers.
Yes. A driveway-adjacent walkway can run the full length of the driveway, across the Town boulevard as well as your lot, without an application. On the boulevard it has to be interlocking pavers, concrete or asphalt with no raised curbs, and keep the same distances as the apron: 3.0 m from a fire hydrant, 1.0 m from utilities and stop or yield signs, and 1–2 m from Town trees.
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.
