Professional garden suite services in Vaughan and York Region. Licensed, insured, free estimates.
Considering a garden suite in Vaughan? Konstruction Group delivers the framing, insulation, and drywall that form the backbone of your detached dwelling unit. Vaughan homeowners in Woodbridge, Maple, Kleinburg, and Thornhill are taking advantage of updated zoning rules to build backyard units on their properties. We provide the structural trades that take your garden suite from a poured foundation to paint-ready interior walls.
Vaughan permits secondary suites and detached additional dwelling units under its Zoning By-law 001-2021. A key requirement specific to Vaughan is a minimum of three parking spaces on the lot when adding a garden suite. The unit must comply with all Ontario Building Code standards, including separate entrance, fire separation, and egress requirements. Building permits are required, and your property must meet rear and side yard setback provisions set out in the zoning by-law. Vaughan's planning department reviews applications for compliance with York Region's official plan as well as local zoning.
Vaughan's residential landscape features many properties with lot sizes that comfortably accommodate a detached garden suite. Established neighbourhoods in Woodbridge and Maple have generous rear yards, while newer communities in Vellore Village and Patterson were planned with wider lots. Vaughan's location along the Highway 400 corridor and its connection to the TTC subway at VMC station make garden suites attractive to renters who commute to Toronto. With York Region's population growth projections and limited rental housing stock, a garden suite in Vaughan addresses genuine housing demand while increasing your property value.
One of Vaughan's distinct requirements is the three-parking-space minimum when adding a garden suite to your property. This means your lot needs enough driveway or designated parking area to accommodate three vehicles across all units. For many Vaughan properties with double-car driveways and garages, this is achievable, but it requires early planning. We recommend confirming your parking layout with a site plan before committing to a garden suite design. Our team coordinates with your general contractor to ensure the building footprint leaves adequate space for the required parking.
