Retaining Wall Design and Installation
London Ontario
A retaining wall is holding back soil and water every day of its life. Built right, you stop thinking about it. Built wrong, it leans, bulges and comes back to you in five years.
Engineered Block, Clean Lines
Segmental Block Retaining Walls
We build with premium interlocking block systems featuring pinned or lipped connections. Every wall starts with a solid levelling pad set well below grade. Depending on the height and load, we incorporate batter set back into the slope and geogrid reinforcement tied back into the soil, finished with securely adhered capstones.
Segmental blocks offer a wide range of colour and texture options, allowing us to perfectly match your new wall to an existing patio, driveway, or walkway. Please ask us about the specific [Manufacturer brands] we recommend for your property.
Weight and Character
Armour Stone and Natural Stone Walls
Armour stone walls hold the earth by sheer mass rather than by interlocking connections. We use high-quality quarried limestone and granite to build robust walls and stacked flagstone garden borders. We take care to match the stone's character to your home and existing hardscaping.
Placing these massive stones requires specialized machinery and proper site access. The result is a breathtaking, permanent structure whose look only improves as it weathers naturally over the years, rather than fading.
Turn a Slope Into Usable Yard
Terracing, Garden Walls and Seating Walls
Sometimes, two or three shorter terraced walls work much better than one massive, towering wall—both structurally and visually. Terracing breaks up a steep slope and creates level, usable ground between the tiers for garden beds or lawn.
Beyond retaining earth, we also build low garden bed walls, custom seating walls around your fire pit, and stone steps integrated seamlessly into a terraced run. These features add immediate function and elegance to your outdoor living space.
Where Walls Actually Fail
Drainage, Base and Wall Repair
Almost every failed wall failed because of poor drainage or a bad base, not because of the block itself. Water builds hydrostatic pressure behind the wall and literally pushes it out. We prevent this by using clear stone backfill, perforated drainage pipes with proper outlets, geotextile separation, and a compacted granular base set below frost influence.
If you have a leaning, bulging, or settling wall, we can help. We provide complete assessment, rebuild, and repair services for failing retaining walls—even the ones we did not originally build.

Happy Customers
"Dan and his team redid the front gardens at our apartment building and it turned out amazing. The large accent rocks, lighting, and the small 12-inch metal fencing really cleaned everything up and made the place look way more high-end."
Bobby Magee
Property Manager
"Excellent experience. Dan was professional, conscientious, understood what I needed and has an excellent eye for what looks good. His crew were also professional and hardworking."
Monidipa Dasgupta
Homeowner
"Dan and his team did great work on the front of my property. I told Dan when he was doing the estimate that I had a concern with a shallow Rogers cable that runs across the front. When doing the work the team took the extra time to hand dig this area making sure they did not cut the line. Outstanding service. Highly recommend. Great overall quality and experience."
