Before paving, concrete, or landscaping starts, the lot needs a drainage path away from the house. Antex measures elevations, access, soil movement, and removal needs on site before pricing grading work in Toronto. Your itemized estimate separates labour and materials. We don't quote by phone because buried concrete, poor fill, and a narrow rear-yard route can change the scope.
Built on trust and quality.

Spring snowmelt and repeated wet-to-frozen conditions make slope important. We review where water sits now and how the finished ground must connect to the foundation, driveway, patio, or walkway.
A laser measurement shows whether a patio, driveway, or entrance height limits the available slope. That prevents a quick scrape that leaves water with nowhere to go.
Laneways, narrow side yards, fences, and planting affect equipment and hauling. We review the route on site before the estimate, rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Point At the Grade You Want
Most people know how they want water to move before they know the grading terms for it. Choose the areas, finish and approach that fit your property. Antex will measure on site, then bring the price to the actual job.
The on-site visit reviews existing grades and the heights that must meet them. We discuss the drainage direction before an estimate is issued, because the house and adjoining surfaces set the available options.
We can't see every buried condition before excavation. We identify visible warning signs and show excavation, soil removal, and disposal in the written scope so potential changes are tied to a discovered condition.
We confirm what is planned above the grade, whether that is interlock, flagstone, concrete, or landscaping. Grading and excavation are delivered through subcontractors under Antex project management.
We look at equipment entry, material movement, and the areas beside the route. Floors and planting are covered where applicable, waste is removed, and dust is kept down while work is underway.
The estimate is based on the measurements and agreed scope, not a vague load of soil. Your project manager stays as the contact through the final walk-through and checks the completed work.
Soil spread by eye can leave low spots beside the foundation. After rain or snowmelt, water pools where you were trying to move it away.
Buried concrete, debris, rock, or weak fill may not show until excavation starts. If it was never discussed, the homeowner has no clear basis for the added work.
Loose ground under future interlock, stone, or concrete can settle through Toronto freeze-thaw cycles. The finished patio or walkway then needs repair after the next stage is complete.
Equipment and soil have to get through a side yard, laneway, or driveway. Without a route plan, fences, planting, and finished areas can be put at risk.
Excess soil, ruts, and an unclear final height delay paving, landscaping, or construction. The next trade may have to undo work before it can begin.
Grading services can be a small yard correction or site preparation before a larger exterior build. We review the area, access route, soil handling, and the elevations that must meet a driveway, patio, walkway, or addition. Toronto's rain, snowmelt, and freeze-thaw make the drainage path worth settling before the surface work begins.
Laser measurements and a site walk show what must connect, what has to move, and how equipment gets in. The estimate is itemized so you can compare it with other grading companies.
Your project manager schedules subcontracted excavation and grading around the agreed scope. Material availability and site conditions affect timing, so we provide an approximate date and update you if it moves.
Waste is carted away and the completed work is checked with you at the final walk-through. The final 10% payment is due after that walk, not before.
These completed grading scopes show how site conditions, surface finishes and water routes can be coordinated around Toronto properties. Each configuration identifies the area regraded, the finish placed on top, the method used to establish fall, and the overall area addressed.
Clear planning and steady communication made the grading work easier to trust.
Wonderful experience. Antex team installed our glass shower enclosure and it looks great. Service was fast without sacrificing quality.
Anyone can hang a panel of glass. Antex is different in four ways that show up on your invoice, your calendar, and your final inspection.
The goal is a site that is ready for the work after it, with the drainage path and finished connections discussed before ground is moved. You know who is managing the job, what the estimate covers, and when new site conditions need a conversation instead of a surprise charge.
We visit the property, laser-measure the grades, and review water flow, access, adjoining surfaces, and visible ground conditions. The itemized estimate arrives one to two business days later and is held for two weeks. Nothing moves ahead until you approve the scope.
Your project manager coordinates grading and excavation through Antex subcontractors. We provide an approximate installation date, plus a written timeline where one applies. If material availability or site conditions move the date, we call and explain it.
During the work, planting is covered where applicable, waste is removed, and dust is kept down. We check the finished area, review it with you at the final walk-through, and collect the remaining 10% only after that review.
Book a free on-site measurement anywhere in Toronto or the GTA before you schedule paving, concrete, or landscaping. We'll review elevations, drainage, access, and likely soil handling, then send an itemized estimate within one to two business days. There's nothing to sign at the door, and nothing is ordered until you approve the scope.
