🚨 **Ottawa Homeowners — Important Change Coming in 2026** 🚨
Starting **March 1, 2026**, the City of Ottawa will require a **Hardscaping Contractor License** for projects like driveways, patios, walkways, and retaining walls.
This new regulation is designed to help protect homeowners by ensuring contractors:
✔ Carry proper insurance
✔ Provide written contracts
✔ Keep project records
✔ Follow city bylaws and permit requirements
👉 **What does this mean for you?**
Before starting any hardscaping project, it’s important to make sure your contractor is licensed and compliant. This helps reduce risks, avoid costly bylaw issues, and ensures your project is done right.
We created this short video to explain what the new licence means and how it helps protect your property and investment.

At **JND Paving**, we support these new regulations and remain committed to professional, transparent, and high-quality work across Ottawa.
