💬What People Actually Paid
Community❓Common Questions
Yes, the City of Victoria requires a permit for any new or altered driveway crossing. The fee typically starts with a $100 application fee plus 1.40% of the total construction cost for the building permit portion.
As of 2026, the Hartland Landfill charges $80 per tonne for clean concrete and asphalt (including bricks). General renovation waste or mixed loads are significantly higher at $160 per tonne.
Victoria's rocky geography, particularly on the Saanich Peninsula, can lead to unexpected costs. If rock blasting is required for proper grading, site preparation costs can jump from a standard $2/sq ft to over $30,000 for the entire project.
Asphalt remains the most affordable permanent option at $7.50–$13.00 per sq ft. While gravel is cheaper ($1–$4 per sq ft), it is often restricted by municipal bylaws in urban Victoria areas due to drainage and runoff regulations.
