A retaining wall holds back a slope, levels out a yard, and stops soil from washing away. In Langley, with our hills and heavy rain, a wall that isn't built with proper drainage will lean, bulge, and eventually fail. We build block and natural-stone retaining walls with the base, backfill, and drainage done right so the wall stays put. From low garden walls to taller terraced builds, we'll tell you straight what your slope needs.
What's included
- Engineered block (segmental) retaining walls
- Natural-stone and boulder walls
- Proper gravel base and compaction
- Drainage rock and perforated pipe behind the wall
- Terraced and multi-level walls
- Steps and caps to finish
When you need retaining walls
Sloped or terraced yards
Brookswood and Maple Ridge lots often slope hard. A wall carves out flat, usable space.
Erosion and washouts
If soil is sliding or pooling, a wall with real drainage fixes the cause, not just the symptom.
Leaning or failing old walls
Old walls built without drainage tip over. We rebuild them so it doesn't happen again.
Our process
- 1
Assess the slope
We look at the grade, soil, and water flow and recommend the right wall type and height.
- 2
Excavate and base
We dig the footing, lay and compact a gravel base so the wall has a solid foundation.
- 3
Build with drainage
We set the wall with drainage rock and pipe behind it so water has somewhere to go.
- 4
Backfill and cap
Backfilled, compacted, and capped for a clean, finished top.
