// Retaining walls in Vancouver
The wall types and finishes we build most around East Vancouver.
The local stuff that actually matters.
A lot of older Vancouver lots have cedar timber walls from the 60s and 70s that are well past their service life. Heritage front-yard stone walls need a careful taking-apart and a faithful rebuild.
Most of our calls in Vancouver come from homeowners around East Vancouver and Kerrisdale, plus Marpole. Whether you're building from scratch or replacing a wall that's leaning, the assessment is the same: walk the slope, check the drainage, figure out what's really going on, and quote the job honestly.

Questions from Vancouver 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.
