Richmond Hill Concrete Contractor · Reformity Inc.Concrete & Asphalt Driveways in Richmond Hill
If you're adding a basement unit in Richmond Hill, the walkway is part of the zoning. By-law 93-25 requires an access path at least 1 m wide from the street or lane to the unit's entrance, with a hard surface at least 0.75 m wide along its whole length, and the driveway, concrete or asphalt, can form part of it. On narrow subdivision side yards that usually means a poured concrete walk tied into a below-grade entrance, pitched away from the foundation so water doesn't follow it down.

City of Richmond Hill: curb cutsSite alteration & grading
Site Alteration By-law 47-25: adding fill, removing topsoil or changing grades needs a City permit, and a fill, excavation or landscaping application needs a grading plan by a professional engineer or Ontario Land Surveyor. Landscaping the City deems minor is exempt only if it stays 0.6 m from every property line and doesn't change neighbours' drainage.
City of Richmond Hill: site alteration permitsHeritage districts
Gormley is the City's first heritage conservation district (since 2009); every structure inside it is designated. Most exterior changes, new structures and demolition there need a heritage permit before work starts. Designated houses elsewhere need one when work affects their reasons for designation.

Richmond Hill Concrete & Asphalt FAQ
Quick answers.
Yes. A basement walkout goes through a building permit with drawings of the stairs, landings, guards, drain and any underpinning or retaining walls, and the City requires a floor drain connected to the storm sewer or a sump pit. We prepare the drawings, bring in an engineer where the structural work needs one, and build the entrance.
