Landscaping and hardscaping in Pickering
Michael Durham Landscaping provides landscaping and hardscaping services in Pickering and the surrounding Durham Region. Pickering is a city in western Durham Region.
Pickering runs from established lakeshore neighbourhoods in the south to newer communities like Seaton in the north. Our Pickering interlock patio and sod project is the photo at the top of this page.
Much of Pickering is close to creeks and green space, so we check whether a property sits in one of the City's tree protection areas before planning any project that removes a tree.
Planning a pool? See pool installation in Pickering for the local pool enclosure permit rules and how we plan the dig, surround, fencing and sod.

Trees in protected areas
Pickering's Tree Protection By-law 8073/24 requires a permit to remove any tree in a designated protection area, which usually runs along watercourses and green spaces. Trees outside those areas do not need a permit.

Adding or removing more than 20 cubic metres (about two dump truck loads) of fill or topsoil may need a Fill and Topsoil Disturbance Permit under By-law 6060/02.
