Landscapers plant flowers. We engineer the ground so your foundation doesn’t sink. Utilizing precision dozers and high-access skid steers, we provide the rough and final grading Edmonton builders rely on to ensure perfect drainage and long-term structural stability.

Rough & Final Grading

We Move Dirt So You Can Move Forward.

When you hire Wagner Dirtworks, you aren’t just renting a skid steer or dozer; you are securing the structural integrity of your property. Based in Edmonton, we specialize in rough and final grading for residential and commercial projects, adhering to City of Edmonton Bylaw standards. We manage the subgrade and surface drainage to ensure your project meets municipal lot grading certifications and stands up to the Alberta climate. No delays, no drainage failures—just precision earthworks that protect your investment.

The Most Critical Phase of Your Build.

Most project delays happen in the first two feet of soil. At Wagner Dirtworks, we specialize in eliminating that risk for Edmonton developers and rural landowners. By focusing exclusively on subgrade preparation and heavy earthworks, we ensure your site meets precise elevation requirements and compaction standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Rough Grading and Final Grading?
Rough grading is the foundation of your site’s drainage; we shape the clay subgrade to ensure water flows away from your structure according to the approved grading plan. Final grading is the precision layer where we spread topsoil to within a few centimeters of the design elevation, preparing the lot for sod or landscaping. In Edmonton, both stages are critical to passing municipal inspections and protecting your foundation from water damage.
A Grading Certificate is a legal document required by most Alberta municipalities to prove that your lot’s slope and drainage meet city bylaws. While Wagner Dirtworks performs the actual earthmoving and precision grading to meet these specs, the certificate must be signed off by a licensed surveyor. We work closely with local surveyors to ensure our work is “certification-ready” the first time, preventing costly re-grading fees.
We use skid steers and dozers to re-engineer your lot’s topography. By identifying low spots and “negative drainage” (water flowing toward the house), we can re-slope the land and compact the soil to create a permanent solution. For rural properties in Northern Alberta, this often involves clearing brush to create proper swales or ditches that move water off-site effectively.
Yes. We have the equipment versatility to handle both. Our skid steer services are ideal for tight residential “Final Grades” where precision is needed near foundations. For commercial site preparation or large-scale industrial pads, we utilize dozers to move high volumes of material and achieve the necessary soil compaction for heavy-duty use.
