Lot Grading(Lot Grading Certificate and Grading stakeout)
The purpose of lot grading is to ensure effective drainage of water away from buildings, which ultimately benefits benefits property owners.
In Edmonton and surrounding communities, an Alberta Land Surveyor, who is recognized by the municipalities, is responsible for creating the Lot Grading Certificate, which includes the rough grade certificate and final grade certificate. The certificate is then submitted to the appropriate city or municipal authority for approval.
Upon receiving the submission, an inspector from the city or municipal authority will conduct a site inspection and issue an inspection report. The report will indicate whether the site grade has been approved (Passed) or if there are any deficiencies (Failed).

What is the elevation for my final grades?
The inspection for lot grading is primarily based on Lot grading certificate prepared by the Alberta Land Surveyor. The approved lot grading plan indicates the proposed design elevations for each lot. To pass the grading inspection, the final lot grading must match the design elevations within the permissible range of tolerance.
Action Surveys Inc. offer Lot Grading Elevation Stake Service that helps homeowners and landscape contractors determine the final grading elevations. The service involves using wooden stakes placed at designated locations on their lot, making it easier for clients to understand the grading process.
