Retaining Walls in Fort Langley, BC

Heritage-sympathetic stone and brick walls for Fort Langley's character properties.

Fort Langley has a look, and a cheap concrete block wall ruins it fast. The older properties near the village and along the river want natural stone or reclaimed brick that reads as if it's always been there. We've done garden walls, raised river-rock beds, and front-yard terracing here that fits the heritage feel of the neighbourhood.

Why Fort Langley homeowners call us

Heritage character to protect

Fort Langley properties suit natural stone and salvaged brick. We avoid anything that looks like a big-box-store kit.

Riverbank and floodplain ground

Lots near the Fraser sit on soft, high-water-table soil. We build footings and drainage that account for it.

Mature gardens to work around

Established Fort Langley gardens mean careful, low-impact work. We protect what's planted and build around it.

Retaining walls in Fort Langley: 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.
