A retaining wall often needs a way through it. We build natural stone steps and stairways, solid slab treads, dressed-stone risers, set on a base that won't shift, so getting up a grade is safe, level, and easy on the eye. They tie a terraced yard together and last as long as the walls around them.

Our process

  1. 1

    Measure the rise

    We work out the rise and run so every step is even and safe to walk.

  2. 2

    Set the base

    A compacted, level base keeps the treads from rocking or settling.

  3. 3

    Set the stone

    Heavy treads and risers are placed, mortared, and pinned.

  4. 4

    Tie it in

    We blend the steps into the walls and grade around them.

Stone Steps: 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.
