Retaining Wall Construction
We build durable retaining walls designed to manage soil pressure, improve drainage, and create usable outdoor space. Our team installs Allan Block, pressure treated timber, and reinforced concrete retaining walls throughout North and West Vancouver.
Our Retaining Wall Services
Allan Block Retaining Wall
Allan Block retaining walls provide a durable and attractive solution for managing elevation changes. These modular block systems are engineered to handle soil pressure while maintaining long-term structural stability.
• Compacted ¾ clear crushed stone base
• Drain pipe installed behind wall for proper drainage
• Gravel backfill to relieve hydrostatic pressure
• Reinforcement using geogrid tie-backs when required
• Levelled base course for long-term stability
Timber Retaining Wall
Pressure treated timber retaining walls provide a natural appearance that works well in residential landscapes. We construct timber walls using 4×6 or 6×6 pressure treated structural lumber depending on wall height and structural requirements.
• 4×6 or 6×6 pressure treated structural timbers
• Proper excavation and compacted stone base
• Deadman tie-backs for structural support
• Drainage gravel installed behind wall
• Drain pipe system to relieve water pressure
Concrete Retaining Wall
Concrete retaining walls are designed for maximum structural strength and long-term durability. These walls are ideal for taller retaining applications or where additional structural reinforcement is required.
• 5000 PSI structural concrete
• Reinforced steel rebar grid
• Properly engineered footing and base
• Drainage pipe and gravel backfill system
• Designed to withstand soil pressure and water loads
Built for Real Conditions, Built to Last
Retaining walls must manage both soil pressure and water pressure. Without proper drainage, water can build up behind the wall and create hydrostatic pressure that can cause walls to lean, crack, or fail over time.
Our retaining walls are built with proper drainage systems including perforated drain pipe, gravel backfill, and compacted stone base to ensure long-term stability.
