Common Questions

Yes, if you are widening your driveway or require a curb cut, you must obtain an 'Access to Property Permit' from the City of Oshawa. In 2026, road occupancy permits for complex projects start at approximately $87.50, and pavement degradation fees are charged at $42 per square metre for any road cuts.

Asphalt is the most common choice, costing between $5.50 and $9.50 per sq ft for a standard installation. Concrete is a premium alternative, typically ranging from $12.00 to $22.00 per sq ft, with decorative or stamped finishes reaching up to $50.00 per sq ft.

Yes, Oshawa's Zoning By-law requires that at least 50% of your front yard remain as landscaped open space. Driveways cannot exceed 50% of the front yard area, and they must be at least 1 metre away from above-ground utilities.

For a typical 600 sq ft two-car driveway in Oshawa, a full asphalt replacement (including removal of the old surface) averages between $6,000 and $12,000. A similar project using standard concrete would range from $12,000 to $20,000.
