Option to add in-pool umbrellas or submerged stools to make it truly multi-functional.

What You Need to Know Before Building a Pool in Kitchener–Waterloo

Permits & Applications (Kitchener + Waterloo)

Kitchener:

Pool Enclosure Permit: Required for any pool (in-ground or above) that can hold ≥ 36 inches (≈ 91 cm) of water.
Permit Fee: $95 for the pool enclosure permit.
Site Plan: Your application must include a site plan or survey showing pool configuration, distance to property lines, and proposed fence location, plus details of the fence construction.
Grading / Zoning: Be ready to consider lot grading and zoning when planning your pool– especially if your lot is large or has landscaping features.
Pool Safety: Gates or doors that open to the pool area must have locks, and those gates must remain locked when the pool is not supervised.
Drainage: When draining a pool, you must dechlorinate the water and not send it into storm drains or public parks.

Waterloo:

Pool Enclosure Permit: A permit is required before building a pool enclosure; the permit must be issued before construction begins.
Fence / Enclosure Rules: The enclosure must fully surround the pool, meet height/material specifications, and be designed according to bylaw drawings.
Enclosure Inspection: Before filling the pool, the City will inspect the enclosure to verify bylaw compliance.
Violation Penalties: There are administrative penalties for non‑compliance (e.g., installing a pool without a permit or failing to properly enclose it).

Information on Tree Protection / Arborist Reports in KW

For many pool projects in Kitchener–Waterloo:

Arborist reports are not automatically required unless there are protected or significant trees on the lot.
If your property has large, mature trees that could be affected by excavation or grading, Mayascapes can facilitate a Tree Inventory / Arborist Report and coordinate any required tree-protection measures.
For major tree removal or sensitive lots, we can work with certified arborists and handle permit applications or preservation plans.
