Retaining Walls & Steps
Structural Work That Holds the Ground
Built properly: retaining walls & steps
On the slopes around Metro Vancouver, a retaining wall is not decoration. It is what stops your yard from moving. We build walls and steps that are properly footed, properly drained, and built for the load they actually carry.
This is work for homeowners, landlords, and property managers who would rather pay once than pay twice. We handle the excavation, the base, the drainage, the build, and the clean-up — and we tell you honestly what your property needs before anyone breaks ground.
Every project covers the essentials
- Poured concrete and block retaining walls
- Footings sized for the height and load of the wall
- Drainage rock and weeping tile behind every wall
- Concrete and stone steps with safe, even risers
- Grading corrected so water moves away from structures
- Permits and engineering coordinated where required
Four steps from first call to final walkthrough
Assess the Slope
We look at the grade, the soil, and the water, then tell you what the wall actually needs to do.
Excavate & Foot
A proper footing goes in below the frost line. It is the step most failed walls skipped.
Build & Drain
The wall goes up with drainage rock and weeping tile behind it so water pressure never builds.
Backfill & Finish
We backfill in layers, restore the grade, and leave the site clean and safe.
The difference the groundwork makes
Base depth, compaction, drainage, and reinforcement are invisible once the job is done. They are also the entire reason it is still standing in twenty years.
A Base That Holds
Excavated to depth and compacted in layers. Concrete does not settle — the ground under it does.
Drainage Sorted First
Correct grade, defined runoff, weeping tile where it is needed. In this climate, water decides everything.
Built for Freeze-Thaw
Control joints, reinforcement, and sealers chosen for Lower Mainland rain and the winters that follow it.
Real Timelines
A start date, a finish date, and a call from us first if the weather moves a pour.
No shortcuts under the surface
Anyone can make concrete look good on the day it is poured. Here is the standard we hold ourselves to on every project, including the parts you will never see.
