Retaining walls in Fleetwood, BC.
Fleetwood is one of Surrey's most established neighbourhoods, and the mature tree canopy that makes it beautiful is also one of the main challenges for retaining wall work here. As your retaining wall contractor in Fleetwood, we deal with root pressure on aging walls more often here than almost anywhere else in Surrey. The established Doug firs and western red cedars around Fleetwood Park and Tynehead put serious lateral pressure on walls that were built before root intrusion was part of the design conversation. When we rebuild in Fleetwood, we dig out, cut the invasive roots cleanly, treat the root ends, and install geogrid reinforcement so the new wall can handle the ongoing pressure.

The local stuff that actually matters.
Old cedar and Doug fir roots in Fleetwood put serious lateral pressure on aging walls. We dig out, cut roots cleanly, and rebuild with geogrid reinforcement.
Most of our calls in Fleetwood come from homeowners around Fleetwood Park and Tynehead Regional Park, plus Coyote Creek. Whether you're building from scratch or replacing a wall that's leaning, the process is the same: walk the slope with you, check the drainage situation, figure out what's really going on, and give you an honest written quote.
Mid-slope wall cuts are common in Fleetwood's older subdivisions around 84th Avenue. Homeowners who bought in the 1980s and 90s are now dealing with walls that have served their purpose for 30 years but are showing signs of movement. We assess whether a repair is viable or whether the wall needs a full rebuild and give you that answer honestly. If the drainage behind the wall is the problem and the blocks are still in good shape, a drain tile repair and repoint can extend the wall's life significantly. If the wall is done, we'll tell you that too.

Questions from Fleetwood homeowners.
Yes, if your wall is over 1.2 metres (about 4 feet) tall. The City of Surrey requires an engineered design and a building permit for anything taller. Walls under 1.2 metres usually don't need a permit, but if your wall supports a driveway, a building, or sits near the property line, the city may still want to see drawings. We handle the whole permit process for you.
