Rough grading
Shaping the site to design elevations after excavation and before base placement.
Grading
Most paving and concrete problems start with bad grades or a weak base. We prepare subgrade, place and compact granular base, and set grades so water drains to catch basins instead of sitting on your lot.

What we do
Grading services
Every job is scoped on site and priced in writing. Here's what this service covers.
Fine grading
Precise final grades for paving, concrete and sod, checked against the drawings or site needs.
Subgrade preparation
Proof-rolling to find soft spots and repairing them before any stone goes down.
Granular base
Granular A and Granular B placed in lifts and compacted to support asphalt and concrete.
Drainage corrections
Regrading low areas, ponding spots and slopes that send water toward buildings.
Lot and yard grading
Grading for gravel yards, laydown areas and storage lots.
How we handle it
Done right the first time
- Grades checked to the drawings, or set out to drain toward catch basins
- Granular placed in lifts and compacted, not dumped and rolled once
- Soft subgrade found by proof-rolling and fixed before base goes down
- Coordinated with paving and concrete so finished elevations line up
Questions
Common questions
Don't see your question? Call 647-448-4451 and ask.
Why does water pond on our lot?
Usually because grades were set flat or the surface has settled. The fix can be anything from adjusting a catch basin to regrading and repaving a section. We'll find the cause at the site visit.
What is Granular A and Granular B?
They're Ontario standard crushed stone base materials. Granular B is the coarser subbase and Granular A is the finer base right under the asphalt. Depths depend on soil and traffic.
