Richmond is a village on the Jock River in Ottawa's rural southwest, settled in 1818 and part of the City of Ottawa since the 2001 amalgamation. It pairs a compact nineteenth-century core around McBean Street with newer builds and larger rural properties spreading out from it, so the work here splits between careful jobs on old housing stock and the well-and-septic, larger-lot needs of a country property.

Land near the Jock River can also fall under Rideau Valley Conservation Authority regulation, which is a permit question most Ottawa neighbourhoods never face. The businesses below serve Richmond and Ottawa's rural southwest.

  • Rural southwest Ottawa village, settled 1818
  • Old village core plus larger rural lots
  • Common jobs: decks, landscaping, painting, roofing
  • Jock River properties may need a conservation authority permit

Common questions

Hiring in Richmond, answered

Do Ottawa contractors charge extra to come out to Richmond?
Most do not. Richmond has been inside City of Ottawa limits since the 2001 amalgamation, and companies working the southwest generally treat it as part of their normal service area alongside Barrhaven, Manotick and Stittsville. Smaller operators based in the east end may add a travel charge, so ask when you book rather than assuming either way.
Does a deck or shed near the Jock River need more than a City permit?

It can. Richmond sits in the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority's watershed, and land close to the Jock River or to wetlands can be regulated, which means the Authority's permission may be required in addition to a City of Ottawa building permit.

Whether it applies depends on where your property actually sits rather than the street it is on, so two neighbours can get different answers. Ask any contractor you hire to confirm the requirements for your specific address before work starts.

What is different about servicing a rural Richmond property?
Outside the village core, lots are larger and less level, and many properties run on a well and septic system. That changes where footings, trenches and heavy equipment can go, because a septic bed and its lines have to be avoided. Older houses in the village core also predate 1978 by a wide margin, so painting and renovation work on them can call for lead-safe handling.
