Retaining walls are not merely functional elements; they are also powerful design features that can dramatically enhance the aesthetics of your landscape. Utilizing a range of materials, including natural stone, concrete blocks, or timber options, we construct walls that are both robust and visually striking. Whether you envision terraced gardens that cascade down a slope, a dramatic backdrop for your outdoor living area, or a subtle yet sophisticated delineation of different zones within your yard, our expertly designed and installed retaining walls will transform your property into a truly exceptional outdoor space.
Poured-in-place concrete walls offer exceptional durability and longevity, ideal for Alberta’s freeze-thaw cycles. They can be customized with finishes like paint, stucco, or acrylic coatings to match any aesthetic
SRW retaining walls, constructed from interlocking concrete blocks, offer a flexible and durable solution for our climate. These walls are engineered to withstand our freeze-thaw cycles and can be designed with various textures and colors to complement any style. Their modular design allows for efficient installation, making them a reliable and aesthetically pleasing choice for creating level spaces and preventing erosion
Constructed from pressure-treated lumber, these walls provide effective erosion control and create tiered spaces for gardens or patios. While requiring proper drainage and maintenance to combat our climate’s moisture, timber walls bring a warm, organic feel to outdoor spaces, blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment. For cost-conscious homeowners, timber retaining walls are a practical choice. Though not as long-lasting as concrete or SRW, they offer a more economical way to address slope management.
Concrete, SRW (Segmental Retaining Walls), and treated timber walls are all viable options. Concrete and SRW offer superior durability, while timber provides a more budget-friendly solution.
The cost depends on the wall’s height, length, material, and site accessibility. Complex designs or difficult terrain will increase costs.
In Alberta, permits are generally required for walls exceeding a certain height. When you build a wall with us we will make sure all permits are in place.
Proper drainage is crucial. We use gravel backfill, drainage pipes, and geotextile fabric to prevent water buildup and ensure wall stability.
Regular inspections are recommended. For timber walls, occasional sealing or staining may be necessary. Ensure proper drainage and address any signs of erosion or shifting.
