Help make Ottawa’s landscaping rules clearer

May 21, 2025
Share your understanding of landscaping regulations for residents and contractors Landscaping plays an essential role in shaping the look and feel of our neighbourhoods. To ensure that landscaping work is completed safely, responsibly, and respectfully, the City is currently reviewing the landscaping rules and requirements set in various by-laws to consider issues with non-compliance, opportunities for education, and whether new rules may be required to clarify contractor and resident responsibilities. Participate in the online survey on Engage Ottawa to share your feedback. The survey will be open for responses until Friday, June 20. Whether you’re hiring a contractor or building your next project yourself, it is important to understand the by-laws and shared responsibilities that apply to landscaping activities. Work related to hard- and softscape, driveway alterations, fencing, trees, decks, pools and the use and care of roads are a few examples of regulated landscaping activities. Your responses will help determine where more information about landscaping rules and requirements would be beneficial. About by-law reviews In 2023, City Council approved the 2023 to 2026 By-law Review Workplan. City by-laws are regularly reviewed to address any changes in legislation, reflect emerging issues and community requirements, and encompass evolving technologies. To learn more about by-law reviews, watch this video explaining the City’s by-law review process or visit ottawa.ca/BylawReviews.
