Grading & Slope: The Hidden Science Behind a Long-Lasting Patio

Many homeowners overlook the importance of grading, but improper slope is a major cause of paver failure. At Leveled Ground, we carefully calculate:

• Slope Away from Structures: At least 2% to prevent water damage.

• Even Surfaces: Avoiding puddles and trip hazards.

• Drainage Routes: Integrated systems like French drains if needed.

  
  

Grading isn’t just about appearance—it’s about preventing long-term issues. With Toronto’s weather, proper slope is non-negotiable.
