Proper grading is the foundation of every successful landscaping project. Armour Landscape Centre provides professional rough grading services to ensure your property has the correct slope, drainage, and soil structure before installing lawns, gardens, patios, or driveways.

Why Rough Grading Matters

1. Proper Drainage
Prevents water pooling and protects your home’s foundation
2. Foundation for Landscaping
Ensures patios, walkways, lawns, and planting beds sit correctly
3. Erosion Control
Reduces soil loss on slopes and prevents landscape damage
4. Smooth, Even Surfaces
Prepares your yard for planting and hardscape installation

City of Edmonton Guidelines

Rough grading must comply with municipal regulations to ensure safety, drainage, and environmental standards

  • Finished grading must direct surface water away from buildings and towards approved drainage systems
  • Slopes must not exceed maximum permitted gradients per City standards to prevent erosion or safety hazards
  • Grading near utilities, easements, and property lines must meet City setback and clearance requirements
  • Compliance with stormwater management and drainage bylaws is required

Important Note on Rough/ Final Grading

If a customer chooses to proceed directly to final grading in Edmonton, the rough grading and final grading can be completed together on-site, and the customer may apply directly for final grading approval without a separate rough grading inspection.
