Complete Grading & Drainage Solutions for Every Scale

Whether you’re a homeowner dealing with standing water in your backyard, a builder preparing a new lot, or a developer grading an entire subdivision, Devine Image has the equipment, expertise, and experience to get it done right. We handle grading and drainage projects of all sizes — from small residential corrections to large-scale commercial and land development work across Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Ancaster, and throughout southwestern Ontario.

Poor grading and inadequate drainage are among the most costly and damaging problems a property can face. Water that pools near foundations, flows toward structures, or saturates the soil can cause erosion, structural damage, and expensive repairs. Our team designs and executes grading and drainage systems that move water away from where it causes harm — efficiently, permanently, and to municipal standards.

Our Grading & Drainage Services

Residential Lot Grading

Proper lot grading is essential for every home. We regrade residential properties to ensure surface water flows away from your foundation, eliminating pooling, erosion, and moisture intrusion. Whether you’re dealing with a grading issue on an existing property or need a new lot graded before landscaping begins, we deliver precise, code-compliant results.

New Home Build & Construction Grading

Building a new home? We work directly with builders and homeowners to prepare and grade lots before and after construction. Our team ensures your lot meets municipal grading requirements, drainage plans are properly executed, and the site is ready for landscaping, driveways, and outdoor living features. We issue final grading certificates and coordinate with inspectors as required.

Land Development & Subdivision Grading

Devine Image has the capacity and equipment to handle large-scale grading for land developers and subdivision projects. From initial site preparation and rough grading to final grading across multi-lot developments, we bring the precision and project management required for complex development timelines. We serve developers across Hamilton, Halton, Brant, and the broader southwestern Ontario region.

Commercial Site Grading

Commercial properties require grading that meets strict engineering and municipal standards. We work from approved grading plans to prepare commercial sites for construction, parking lots, and landscaping — ensuring proper drainage, slope, and compliance from day one.

Drainage System Installation

When grading alone isn’t enough, we design and install complete drainage systems tailored to your property’s specific needs. Our drainage solutions include French drains, catch basins, channel drains, swales, buried downspout extensions, and sump pump discharge systems. Every solution is engineered to move water efficiently and prevent the damage that comes from chronic saturation or pooling.

Yard Drainage Correction

If your yard holds water after rain, develops soft or muddy areas, or shows signs of erosion, we can diagnose the problem and implement a lasting fix. We assess the existing grade, soil conditions, and water flow patterns to design a drainage correction plan that solves the root cause — not just the symptoms.

Agricultural & Rural Drainage

For larger rural properties and agricultural land, we provide field drainage solutions including tile drainage, surface grading, and water management systems designed to improve land productivity and protect structures. We serve rural properties across southwestern Ontario, with capacity for large acreage projects.
