Grading Plan Requirements in the Town of Oakville

A grading plan shows how land will be shaped to drain water properly and keep it safe. In Oakville, grading plans must follow the Development Engineering Procedures and Guidelines Manual. These plans help water flow away from buildings, use swales to direct rain to outlets, and protect the environment. Slopes, landscaping, or retaining walls are added if needed, and downspouts must drain onto the ground. Builders also need erosion controls to stop dirt from clogging sewers or harming waterways. Stormwater rules say sites must keep rainwater from small storms on-site. A SWM report explains how this works. After building, an engineer checks to make sure the grading matches the plan. Everwest Engineering creates expert grading plans and stormwater designs in Oakville. We make land safe, useful, and eco-friendly while meeting all rules. Contact us for help with your project!
