Brick Retaining & Garden Walls in Langley, BC

Brick is a mason's wall. Laid in a proper bond on a reinforced footing, a brick retaining or garden wall brings a clean, classic look that suits everything from a heritage home in Fort Langley to a modern build in Willoughby. We work in new brick or reclaimed brick when you want that weathered character.

What's included

When you need brick walls

A heritage or traditional home

Brick suits character properties in a way modern block can't touch.

A low garden or raised-bed wall

Brick is ideal for crisp, low garden walls and raised planting beds.

Matching existing brickwork

If your home is brick, a matching wall ties the whole property together.

Our process

  1. 1

    Lay out the wall

    We set the line, the footing size, and the bond pattern before we start.

  2. 2

    Pour the footing

    A reinforced footing below frost depth gives the brick something solid to sit on.

  3. 3

    Lay the brick

    Course by course, reinforced and grouted where it retains, joints tooled clean.

  4. 4

    Cap and point

    We finish with a capping course, point the joints, and clean the face.

Brick 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.
