Retaining Walls in Abbotsford, BC

Stone and block retaining walls across Abbotsford and the eastern valley.

Abbotsford spreads across some real grade, from the slopes up on Sumas Mountain to the terraced lots in east Abbotsford. We build mortared stone and reinforced block walls out here for homes that need to hold a bank, level a yard, or replace a failing wall.

Why Abbotsford homeowners call us

Sumas Mountain slopes

The hillside homes need serious retaining work. We build engineered walls that handle steep ground.

Wide range of soil

Abbotsford soil varies from sand to heavy clay. We match the footing and drainage to what's actually on site.

Rural and residential mix

From acreages to subdivisions, we build the right wall for the property and budget.

Retaining walls in Abbotsford: questions

What kind of retaining walls do you build?

Masonry walls: mortared natural stone, brick, armour stone and boulder walls, and reinforced concrete block or segmental walls. We're a mason, so stone and brick are our specialty, but we build the right wall for your site.

How tall can a retaining wall be?

We build walls of all heights. Once a wall passes about a metre, or holds a load like a driveway, it usually needs an engineer's design and a permit. We arrange both so it's done by the book.

Why do retaining walls fail?

Almost always water. When water builds up behind a wall with no drainage, the pressure pushes it over. That's why we put as much work into the footing and drainage as the stone you see.

Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Langley?

Lower garden walls usually don't, but taller or load-bearing walls do, and the rules vary between Langley City, the Township, and Surrey. We'll tell you what your wall needs and handle the permit and engineering if it does.
