Walls that hold — and keep holding. Built on a proper base, drained right, and set to last across Hanover, Chesley, Walkerton and Grey-Bruce.
A slope that washes out every spring, a garden bed that needs a clean edge, a level patio carved from a hillside — a retaining wall solves all of it. We build block, stone and timber walls for properties across Hanover, Chesley, Walkerton, Paisley and the broader Grey-Bruce region.
Done right, a retaining wall is invisible engineering. The wall you see is solid and straight, while everything behind and beneath it — the drainage, the base, the backfill — is working constantly so you never have to think about it.
We handle the full scope: excavation, base prep, drainage, construction, and cleanup. When we leave, the wall is finished and the site is clear.
How we build them.
We dig to solid bearing and build the granular base in 100 mm lifts, compacting each one before the next goes in. This is the step that separates a wall that stays from one that moves.
Weeping tile at the footer and clean gravel backfill give water a path out, not a reason to push. Hydrostatic pressure is the number one cause of wall failure — we eliminate it before the first block goes down.
Every course is set with a calibrated backward lean — the wall's structural resistance to the soil behind it. Cap blocks are pinned or bonded. The line stays straight and true.
Why ours stay put.
Three things separate a wall that stands for decades from one that leans by its third winter — and all three happen before the first block goes down.
