Retaining Walls
Retaining walls solve practical problems while making your property look better. They handle soil erosion, manage uneven terrain, and control water runoff without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. If you’re dealing with a sloped yard or want to create distinct zones in your landscape, a well-designed retaining wall opens up possibilities you might not have considered.
The walls we install come in a variety of colours, textures, and sizes, giving you plenty of room to customize a design that complements your existing landscape. We use high-quality materials like concrete blocks and natural stone that stand up to BC’s weather, heavy use, and the test of time. Our team helps you select the right products for your specific situation and handles the entire installation process, so you can rest assured the work will be completed properly the first time.
Engineered Retaining Walls
Engineered retaining walls come into play when standard construction isn’t enough. If you’re building a taller wall, dealing with challenging soil conditions, or need to support significant weight, you’ll want an engineered approach. These projects require input from licensed engineers who evaluate your site’s specific characteristics including soil composition, drainage patterns, and structural requirements. The design gets stamped and approved to meet building codes, giving you the peace of mind that your wall is safe and built for the long haul.
DESIGN
A Wall Design Engineer or Site Civil Engineer handles the structural design for segmental retaining walls. For projects with complex site conditions, a Geotechnical Engineer evaluates overall stability and soil characteristics. We connect you with the right engineering professionals when your project requires it, ensuring your wall meets all specifications and code requirements.
BUILD
Our experienced crew brings those engineering plans to life. We follow the specifications precisely while maintaining the same focus on craftsmanship and aesthetics that goes into every project we complete. The result is a wall that delivers both strength and visual appeal.
ENJOY
Once your wall is finished, you get to enjoy the transformation. Whether you’ve gained a flat backyard for the kids to play in, created terraced garden beds, or simply secured a problematic slope, your new retaining wall becomes a functional part of your property that you’ll appreciate year-round.
Planning Your Retaining Wall Project
When planning for your new retaining wall system, we review the following details to ensure your project is completed the way you want:
- Permits: Building requirements vary depending on wall height and location. We help you figure out what permits you need and handle the process.
- Retaining wall location: The right placement maximizes your usable space while staying within property lines and minimizing costs. We’ll work with you to find the most efficient solution.
- Materials selection: We can meet you at a supplier showroom to explore different block styles, colours, and textures. If you want to see samples at your property before making a final decision, we’ll bring them to you.
- Staging plan: Every site has its quirks. Tell us which areas need to stay clear, and we’ll set up our equipment and materials accordingly so your daily routine isn’t disrupted.
- Access planning: Whether we’re working from above the wall or below it, we plan the logistics ahead of time to make sure we can get equipment where it needs to go safely and efficiently.
Protecting Your Property During Construction
We treat your home and yard with care throughout the entire project. If we need to move equipment across your driveway or navigate around existing structures, we’ll protect those surfaces with tarps, timber mats, and plywood. For trickier access routes, we use locking composite planks that distribute weight evenly so our machinery doesn’t leave marks or damage. We’ll also board off areas near your home to shield siding and windows from flying debris.
Before any digging starts, we locate all underground utilities and identify any above-ground obstacles. This keeps everyone safe and prevents costly surprises once work begins.
