Retaining Walls in Murrayville, BC

Solid stone and block retaining walls for Murrayville's established lots.

Murrayville is mostly settled, established homes with mature yards, and a lot of the retaining work here is replacing tired old walls or adding terracing to gardens that have grown into the slope. We build mortared stone and reinforced block walls around the 48th Avenue and Murray's Corner areas that hold up and look the part.

Why Murrayville homeowners call us

Aging walls due for replacement

Plenty of Murrayville's original walls are at the end of their life. We replace them cleanly with stone or block.

Mature, planted yards

Established gardens need careful work. We protect plantings and tie new walls into the existing landscape.

Mixed soil and grade

Murrayville lots vary a lot. We assess each site and build the footing and drainage to suit.

Retaining walls in Murrayville: 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.
