Retaining Walls
Our team specializes in constructing durable retaining walls using both landscape block and natural boulders. We take pride in our ability to tackle more complex engineering projects, ensuring that each wall is designed to withstand environmental pressures while enhancing overall landscape
Allan Block
Allan Block retaining walls are a common choice thanks to their proven durability, clean appearance, and ease of construction. The interlocking concrete block system is engineered for strength and long-term performance, while allowing for efficient installation without the need for complex forming or mortar. Allan Block walls are versatile in design, accommodate a wide range of site conditions, and are well-suited for both residential and commercial applications.

Prices can be 50-100$ A Square Foot on Average - Highly Depends on if Excavation Is required, Access & Complexity.
Engineered Retaining Walls
Retaining walls over 4 feet in height are typically considered to require engineered design to meet structural and safety requirements. For these taller or more complex walls, working with qualified engineers and experienced professionals ensures proper consideration of soil conditions, drainage, and loading, and helps ensure compliance with local codes and long-term performance.

Prices can see 75-150$ A Square Foot on Average, Influenced by the same Variables and Engineering Requirements & Permits.
Sample Pricing
$14,000.00 - 65 x 2.5' Height
Basic Allan Block retaining wall replacement completed with minimal excavation. The existing wood retaining wall was dismantled entirely by hand, and the new wall was installed slightly forward to reduce excavation and overall costs. Due to narrow access from the front yard to the backyard, materials were transferred using small equipment only, allowing the work to be completed efficiently while minimizing site disturbance.
Sample Pricing #2
$75,000.00 - Engineered Wall - 70' x 10' Height
This project involved the construction of a more complex retaining wall that required a full engineered design due to wall height and site conditions. The engineered system addressed critical factors such as soil pressure, drainage, and loading to ensure long-term stability and code compliance. Careful coordination between engineering, layout, and construction was essential to execute the design accurately. The result is a structurally sound Allan Block retaining wall built to perform reliably while meeting all engineering and safety requirements
Gabion Walls
This project featured an engineered gabion retaining wall, offering a highly durable and budget-friendly solution with a bold, unique aesthetic. The engineered design ensured structural stability while allowing the natural stone infill to become a defining visual element of the site. Built for both performance and appearance, this gabion wall incorporates over 1,000 tonnes of rock, creating a striking and long-lasting structure that blends strength with character.
Boulder Retaining Walls
Boulder and rock retaining walls are built using heavy equipment and are well-suited for larger applications where scale and strength are required. For simple designs, they can offer a substantial cost savings compared to Allan Block walls while still providing a durable, natural-looking solution that blends well with the surrounding landscape.
