Retaining walls

Figure Eight Projects builds retaining walls throughout Nanaimo for gardens, slopes, patios and outdoor spaces.

A retaining wall needs to do more than look good. Proper excavation, drainage, base preparation and construction are what keep a wall solid over time.

RETAINING WALL CONSTRUCTION

We build retaining walls using concrete retaining wall block and natural stone, depending on the site and the look of the landscape.

Walls can be used to manage slopes, create level garden or patio areas, build raised beds and make difficult spaces more usable.

We can also replace older retaining walls that are leaning, failing or no longer draining properly.

Proper base prep and drainage

A retaining wall is only as good as what is behind and underneath it.

We pay close attention to excavation, compacted base preparation, drainage rock, grading and drainage behind the wall. These details help manage water and reduce movement and pressure over time.

Every site is different, so we build according to the conditions of the property rather than using the same approach everywhere.

RETAINING WALLS AS PART OF YOUR LANDSCAPE

Retaining walls often become an important part of the overall landscape.

As a landscape designer and builder, we consider how the wall connects with patios, pathways, stairs, garden beds, planting and existing grades.

The goal is to build something functional that also feels like it belongs in the space.
