Landscape architecture is the professional planning, design, and documentation of outdoor spaces — including gardens, patios, pools, driveways, grading plans, drainage systems, and commercial site developments. In Ontario, many landscape projects require:
Without proper permits and professionally prepared drawings, your landscape project risks stop-work orders, fines, and complications when selling your property. ITI Permit ensures every landscape project is fully documented, permitted, and approved.
We design beautiful, functional residential gardens and backyard spaces that match your lifestyle, budget, and property conditions. Every design is developed with Ontario Building Code compliance and local zoning requirements in mind — so your outdoor space looks great and gets approved.
Planning to add a pool or spa to your property? In Ontario, pool installations require a building permit and professionally prepared drawings. We prepare complete pool and spa design drawings — including pool layout, fencing requirements, drainage details, and site plan documentation — for smooth permit approval.
Decks and patios above a certain size or height require a building permit in Ontario. Our team prepares detailed deck and patio drawings that include structural details, footing layouts, material specifications, and all documentation required by your municipality for permit approval.
Retaining walls that exceed a specified height require a permit and engineered drawings in Ontario. We prepare complete retaining wall design documentation — including height, materials, drainage, and structural requirements — ensuring your retaining wall is safe, compliant, and approved.
Changing the grade or level of your property in Ontario requires a grading and drainage plan to ensure water flows away from your home and neighbouring properties. ITI Permit prepares detailed grading and drainage plans that satisfy municipal requirements and protect your property from water damage.
Any significant change to the soil, grade, or topography of a property in Ontario may require a site alteration permit. We prepare all required drawings and documentation for site alteration permit applications — handling submission and municipal correspondence until your permit is approved.
New driveways, walkway expansions, and curb cuts often require municipal permits in Ontario. We prepare permit-ready driveway and walkway design drawings that meet local bylaw requirements for materials, grades, dimensions, and drainage.
Proper outdoor lighting design is essential for safety, security, and code compliance. We incorporate outdoor lighting layouts into our landscape drawings — ensuring placement, wiring pathways, and fixture types align with Ontario Building Code and municipal requirements.
A landscape permit application in Ontario requires a professionally prepared site plan showing all proposed outdoor works, dimensions, setbacks, and existing conditions. ITI Permit prepares complete landscape site plans that meet municipal submission standards for fast approval.
We provide landscape architecture services for commercial properties including offices, retail plazas, restaurants, industrial sites, and mixed-use developments. Our commercial landscape drawings cover site plans, grading, drainage, parking lot landscaping, accessibility compliance, and permit submissions — everything your commercial project needs to move forward.
