Allan Block and segmental retaining walls in Surrey, BC
Segmental block is the workhorse of Surrey retaining walls. It looks clean, it holds up to our wet winters, and when it's engineered and drained properly it lasts 50 plus years. We build with Allan Block, Versa-Lok, and Belgard systems, and every wall over 1.2 metres gets a geogrid plan and an engineer's stamp.

When you need this
A few situations where this is usually the right call.
You want a clean, modern look
Block walls give crisp horizontal lines and pair well with stamped concrete patios, modern fencing, and contemporary landscaping.
You're leveling a sloped backyard
A single block wall (or two stepped walls) can convert an unusable slope into a flat patio, garden bed, or play area.
Your old timber wall is rotting out
Most timber walls in Surrey from the 80s and 90s are done. Block is the standard replacement: stronger, longer-lived, and no rot.

Questions about block walls.
It depends on the wall height, the look you want, and the site. Segmental block (Allan Block, Versa-Lok) is the everyday choice: strong, clean-looking, and holds up to our wet winters. Natural stone is for character builds. Boulders are for big grade changes on acreage. Poured concrete is for tight property lines or when the wall has to carry a structure. We'll walk through the trade-offs on the quote.
