 Yes. In Edmonton & the surrounding area, rough grade must be completed, inspected, and approved before final grade can be performed. Rough grade sets the basic shape and drainage; final grade fine-tunes it for inspection and landscaping.

Rough Grade: Uses screened clay to build the yard shape, correct slopes, and prep the lot.

Final Grade: Adds topsoil, smooths everything out, and meets city lot-grading standards.
Both are required for proper drainage and to prevent water issues.

Most residential rough or final grades take 1–2 days, depending on yard size, access, soil conditions, and weather. 

 Alberta soils hold water, and frost heave is common. Proper grading prevents:

• Water pooling
• Foundation issues
• Ice buildup
• Erosion
• Landscape failure
  A correct slope away from the home is required by municipalities.
