hi

You can use 0,1.75,...,21} 

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\newgeometry{margin=0in}
\noindent   \begin{tikzpicture}[x=1cm,y=1cm] 
 \foreach \x in {0,1.75,...,21}
  {
    \draw (\x ,0) -- (\x ,29.65);
  };
 \foreach \y in {0,2.47,...,29.65}
  {
    \draw (0, \y) -- (21, \y);
  };
\end{tikzpicture}
\restoregeometry
\lipsum[1-2] % just to demonstrate that it works
\end{document}    


and better : \draw[xstep=1.75cm,ystep=2.47,gray!50] (0,0) grid (21,29.65);



\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{geometry} 
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
\newgeometry{margin=0in} % use this to temporarily change the margins
\noindent   \begin{tikzpicture}[x=1cm,y=1cm] 
\draw[xstep=1.75cm,ystep=2.47,gray!50] (0,0) grid (21,29.65);
\end{tikzpicture}
\restoregeometry
\lipsum[1-2] % just to demonstrate that it works
\end{document} 



You can use changepage.sty to modify mid-layout but geometry is perfect  


To change the first page and add a grid on the first page, you can also use 
eso-pic.
