Boulder & Rock Retaining Walls in Langley, BC

Armour Stone & Boulder Retaining Walls in Langley, BC

When you've got real tonnage to hold back, a driveway bank, a building pad, an acreage slope, armour stone and large boulders do the job. We set them with the right equipment, keyed into a proper base and sloped back into the hill so they stay put. Natural, rugged, and built to outlast everything around them.

What's included

When you need boulder & rock walls

A driveway or access bank

Rural driveways cut into a slope wash out without a wall. Rock holds the bank for good.

Big grade changes

Acreage-scale slopes need mass. Boulder walls bring it.

A rugged, natural look

On a treed or rural property, natural rock looks right in a way block never will.

Our process

  1. 1

    Assess the load

    We figure out how much grade you're holding and size the stone to match.

  2. 2

    Prep the base

    Excavate and compact a keyed-in base so the bottom course doesn't kick out.

  3. 3

    Set the stone

    Each boulder is placed and seated by machine, leaned back into the hill, and chinked tight.

  4. 4

    Backfill and drain

    Free-draining rock and fabric go in behind, then we restore the grade.

Boulder & Rock Walls: common 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.

How long does a retaining wall take to build?

It depends on the size, the stone, and the site access. A small garden wall can be a couple of days; a large engineered wall can run a week or more. We'll give you a realistic timeline when we quote.
