The Milton Guide to Driveway Widening & Zoning.

Before widening a driveway or reworking a front yard in Milton, it is worth understanding the rules, because the Town does enforce them. Milton's Zoning By-law 016-2014 governs the maximum driveway width and the share of the front yard that must remain soft landscaping. Getting this wrong can mean compliance orders, corrective work, and avoidable delays, so we design to the bylaw from the start.

Many Milton subdivisions registered after 2000 carry a clause on title that restricts curb-cut widening, in order to preserve on-street parking. That means the apron at the street often cannot be widened even when the driveway behind it can. We specialize in compliant, within-curb designs that maximize usable parking and a gracious entrance while staying inside both the bylaw and the subdivision restrictions, and we manage the Curb Cut and Entrance Permit for any work in the municipal right-of-way.
