Retaining walls in Newton, BC.
Newton is one of the most densely developed areas in Surrey, and as your retaining wall contractor in Newton we see a consistent pattern: long sloped backyards on lots that were graded quickly during the 1980s development boom. The fill on many Newton lots wasn't properly compacted at the time, and 40-plus years of wet winters have caused settling, wall movement, and drainage failures throughout the area. We build new retaining walls to create usable flat grade for patios and play areas, and we rebuild failing walls where the original drainage and base work never met the standard. King George Boulevard and 72nd Avenue are the addresses we see most.

The wall types and finishes we build most around Newton Athletic Park.
The local stuff that actually matters.
A lot of Newton lots were graded fast in the 80s on fill that wasn't compacted properly, so old retaining walls here tend to bulge and lean within 15 to 20 years.
Most of our calls in Newton come from homeowners around Newton Athletic Park and Bear Creek Park, plus Strawberry Hill. 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.
Lots that back onto rear lanes and drainage ditches in Newton often have inadequate retaining structures that were installed without proper drainage detailing. We come out, walk the slope, and give you a clear picture of what the wall actually needs: base depth, drainage requirements, geogrid if the height warrants it, and what a permit will cost if you're over 1.2 metres. No guessing, no upselling on scope. If a repair will sort it out, we'll tell you that.

Questions from Newton 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.
