Retaining Wall Installation in Coquitlam, BC
When constructing retaining walls, Landscaping Coquitlam EcoPros takes the utmost care so that the finished wall is a firm structure. The main purpose of a retaining wall is to prevent soil erosion and, if such an event should occur, minimize the effects of landslides by reducing the pressure and force of the slide. When designing a retaining wall, we study the patterns of rain and other natural phenomena to help us create the perfect design to counteract these effects.
During the installation of a retaining wall, we take great care to not interfere with the design of the existing garden or the land itself as this could disrupt the natural balance that is supporting a designed feature. When a retaining wall is installed near existing landscaping, there is always a chance that the design of the landscape may be deformed due to soil toppling into the wall. This is especially true when working near the garden since it generally contains the most fragile features. We go to great lengths to ensure that we cause as little havoc as possible in your garden and that the integrity of your soil is not lost. If we do disturb your garden, we will reinstall all the features!

Why You Need a Retaining Wall
Properties in the Coquitlam area often sit on uneven terrain. Whether your property is built on a slope or has drainage issues, a retaining wall may be the solution you need to protect your home or business from soil movement and water runoff. A properly designed wall not only prevents erosion and flooding but also creates usable space by leveling your yard for gardens, patios, and entertainment areas.
Retaining walls can also serve purely aesthetic purposes. They add visual depth, texture, and structure to your landscape design, creating beautiful terraced gardens, raised flower beds, and elegant hardscape accents that blend seamlessly with your natural surroundings.
Types of Retaining Walls We Build
At Landscaping Coquitlam EcoPros, we construct a wide variety of retaining walls to meet your functional and design goals. Depending on your budget, soil conditions, and style preferences, we’ll recommend the best materials and construction techniques.
1. Concrete Block Retaining Walls:
Concrete blocks are one of the most popular options for both residential and commercial properties. They are cost-effective, durable, and come in a range of colors and textures to suit any design.
2. Natural Stone Retaining Walls:
Stone walls bring timeless beauty to your outdoor space. We use high-quality natural stone like granite, sandstone, or fieldstone for a rustic, organic look. Each stone is selected and placed with care to enhance the natural aesthetic of your property.
3. Timber Retaining Walls:
Wood retaining walls are a great option for homeowners looking for a warm, natural appearance at an affordable price. Properly treated timber can last for many years while blending in beautifully with green landscapes.
4. Poured Concrete Retaining Walls:
For properties that require more structural strength—such as taller walls or walls that support large slopes—poured concrete offers unmatched stability and a sleek, modern finish.
5. Gabion Walls and Custom Solutions:
We also design and install custom walls, including gabion baskets (metal cages filled with stone), which provide unique visual interest and high-performance erosion control.
