Hedges

Planting a hedge

No permit required however you must comply with By-law requirements

Planting a hedge on your property requires neither a permit nor a certificate of authorization from the municipality. You must nevertheless ensure that you comply with the applicable provisions of the planning regulations in this respect, particularly regarding the allowable maximum height of a hedge planted on one’s property and its maintenance.

In Kirkland, the Zoning By-law no. 90-58 sets out the rules applicable in this respect, particularly Article 5.3 which requires a visibility triangle to be kept free of any plants and Article 10.9 which determines the maximum allowable height for a hedge depending on its location.
