Do I need a lot grading permit in Winnipeg?

Yes, the City of Winnipeg requires a lot grading permit for most grading work, especially on new construction lots. A lot grading certificate is also required before you can obtain an occupancy permit. We handle the permitting process and ensure compliance.

What slope is required for drainage in Winnipeg?

The City of Winnipeg generally requires a minimum 2% slope away from building foundations for the first 3 metres. Beyond that, site-specific grading plans dictate required slopes. We design grading to meet all municipal requirements.

Can you fix grading on an existing property?

Absolutely. We frequently correct drainage issues on existing properties where the original grading has settled or was insufficient. We assess your property, identify the cause, and regrade to direct water away from your home.

Land Grading & Site Preparation in Winnipeg

Precision land grading and site preparation that sets the foundation for successful construction projects in Winnipeg’s challenging terrain.

Start Your Project

Proper grading is the foundation of every successful construction project. All Around Property Maintenance provides professional land grading, lot grading, and site preparation services for residential and commercial projects throughout Winnipeg and surrounding areas. Whether you’re preparing a lot for new construction or correcting drainage on an existing property, we ensure water flows where it should.

Winnipeg’s flat topography and heavy clay soils make grading especially critical. Without proper slope, water pools on the surface and has nowhere to go — leading to foundation damage, basement flooding, and soil erosion. Our team understands the City of Winnipeg’s lot grading requirements and ensures every project meets or exceeds municipal standards for positive drainage.

We provide grading for new home lots, commercial building sites, parking areas, and road subgrade preparation. Our services include rough grading for new construction, final grading before landscaping, lot grading certification compliance, and drainage correction for existing properties experiencing water issues.

Our operators use laser-guided equipment for precision grading, ensuring accurate slopes and elevations across the entire site. We coordinate with surveyors, engineers, and builders to deliver grading that meets your project’s exact specifications. Contact All Around Property Maintenance for a free consultation and estimate.

What to Expect

Survey & Planning

We review site plans, coordinate with surveyors for elevation benchmarks, assess soil conditions, and develop a grading plan that meets City of Winnipeg requirements.

Rough Grading

We strip topsoil, cut high areas and fill low areas to achieve the required subgrade elevations, and compact fill material in lifts.

Fine Grading

Using laser-guided equipment, we achieve precise final grades and slopes to ensure proper drainage away from structures and toward designated outlets.

Verification & Completion

We verify grades against the approved plan, address any deficiencies, replace topsoil where required, and prepare the site for the next construction phase.
