Working in Etobicoke
West-end lots, done right.
Etobicoke has some of the biggest residential lots in Toronto — deep ravine-backing yards around the Humber and Mimico Creek, and wide 1950s lots in Islington and Richview. Bigger yards mean longer fence runs, larger decks and more interlocking, and ravine-adjacent properties can bring extra approvals.
Down by the lake, Mimico, New Toronto and Long Branch have older, smaller lots and a lot of infill construction, where drainage between closely spaced homes is often the real problem to solve before any hardscape goes in.
Etobicoke is part of the City of Toronto, so the Toronto Municipal Code applies to fences, pools, trees and driveways here.

City of Toronto Rules
Know the bylaws before you build.
We check these on every Etobicoke quote visit. Bylaws change and lots differ (corner lots, easements, ravine areas), so treat this as a starting point and confirm with the City of Toronto for your address.
Fence height
Municipal Code Chapter 447: 2.0 m in rear and side yards. In a front yard, 1.2 m within 2.4 m of the street (up to 2.0 m further back). Fences within 2.4 m of a driveway must be see-through so drivers can see the sidewalk. Height is measured from average grade 1 m either side of the fence.
Toronto Municipal Code Ch. 447Ravine-backing lots
Many Etobicoke yards back onto the Humber River, Mimico Creek or Etobicoke Creek valleys. Work there can need a City ravine permit and TRCA approval — we check before designing decks, walls or grading near the slope.
City of Toronto: ravine permitsPrivate trees
A permit is required to remove or injure a private tree 30 cm or more in diameter (measured 1.4 m above ground). City street trees are protected at any size — this often decides where fence posts and deck footings can go.

Etobicoke follows the Toronto Municipal Code. See our Toronto page for the full list, including pool enclosures and driveway permits.
Toronto rulesDeck permits
Under Ontario's Building Code, a deck over 10 m² (about 108 sq ft) or attached to the house generally needs a building permit, and the City of Toronto may set its own triggers based on height above grade. We confirm with the building department and pull the permit when one's needed.

Etobicoke FAQ
Quick answers.
Usually, but ravine-adjacent lots can need a City of Toronto ravine permit and TRCA approval, and setbacks from the top of slope may limit size and placement. We check this before designing anything.
Yes, if it's a private tree 30 cm or more in diameter (measured 1.4 m up) or any City street tree. Etobicoke's older lots often have large trees near the fence line, so we design around them.
