BUILT TO LAST

A Retaining Wall Is Only as Good as What’s Behind It

Proper excavation, base preparation and drainage are critical to the long-term performance of a retaining wall. We build from the ground up, paying attention to grading, drainage and site conditions — not just how the finished wall looks.

✓ Proper Base Preparation
A properly prepared and compacted base provides the foundation for a stable wall.

✓ Drainage & Water Management
Drainage behind the wall helps manage water and reduce pressure on the structure.

✓ Built for the Site
Wall design and construction are adapted to the grade, soil conditions and purpose of the wall.

OUR PROCESS

How We Build Your Retaining Wall

01

Site Review & Planning

We assess the slope, drainage, access and purpose of the wall, then recommend the most suitable materials and construction approach.

02

Excavation & Base Preparation

The area is excavated and a properly compacted granular base is installed to provide the stable foundation your wall needs.

03

Drainage & Wall Construction

We install the required drainage system and carefully build the wall using manufactured concrete wall systems or armour stone.

04

Grading & Finishing

We complete the surrounding grading, finish the wall and clean the work area so everything looks intentional and works as it should.

RETAINING WALL FAQS

Questions About Retaining Walls

How do I know if my retaining wall needs to be replaced?Leaning, bulging, cracking, separating blocks and ongoing soil movement are common signs of failure. We can assess whether repair is practical or full replacement is the better long-term solution.
What type of retaining wall is best for my property?It depends on the wall’s height, purpose, site access and the look you want. We typically build with manufactured concrete wall systems or armour stone.
Why is drainage important behind a retaining wall?Water pressure is one of the main causes of retaining-wall failure. Proper drainage directs water away from the wall and helps protect its structure over time.
Do retaining walls require engineering or permits?Some walls require engineering or municipal approval depending on their height, location and surrounding conditions. We’ll identify these requirements during the planning process.
How long does a properly built retaining wall last?A retaining wall built on a stable base with proper drainage can last for decades. Material quality, soil conditions and water management all affect its lifespan.
How much does a retaining wall cost?Cost depends on the wall’s size, material, access, excavation, drainage and site conditions. We provide a detailed estimate after reviewing your property and project requirements.
