Landscape Design Process
The key to a successful project is transparency and active communication. Due to the hectic nature of renovations, we have simplified our repair process into a few simple steps, which you can refer to.
1. Ideation
Consultations set the tone for the entire project. A free consultation is available for prospective clients on-site. We’ll discuss your project in detail, in terms of what you require for your repair. The vision and the plan will be formed during this time when we collect all the relevant details. Among these details are measurements, notes, and photographs.
2. Creation
We will draft mock plans for your tentative design. A variety of factors are taken into consideration, including what already exists, wants and needs, and budget. In this way, both the vision and the design can be tweaked in real-time.
An unofficial estimate will be provided once the materials and colors for the project have been determined.
3. Fulfillment
Our next step is obtaining the proper permits (if required) and adhering to local municipality codes following the final estimate and design approval. In the absence of the correct permits, construction projects can be significantly delayed.
The final phase of the process is the construction phase. We will work closely with you to ensure that design, budget, and construction deadlines are met. Following this phase, a thorough cleanup will be done to ensure your yard is left in the best possible condition.
Retaining walls
Retaining Walls Explained
A retaining wall is a structure that holds or contains soil or rocks. The main purpose of retaining walls is to create a more affordable, aesthetic, and long-term solution for sloped areas, which can be formed over time. They create flat spaces by stabilizing sloped areas. Retaining walls can be constructed from wood, stone, concrete, or steel. You can beautify your design with concrete blocks or natural stones.
When it comes to reshaping landscapes, retaining walls are the simplest and most cost-effective solution. Retaining walls are a great alternative to leveling the ground beneath the soil line by digging a pit.
Retaining walls can be classified into gravity walls, piling walls, cantilevers, and anchored walls. However, gravity or cantilever retaining walls tend to be the most common.
Retaining Wall Types
Gravity Retaining Wall
It is the weight of gravity-retaining walls and the base upon which they are built that determine their strength and stability. They can be constructed from concrete blocks, bricks, or poured concrete. The stones or bricks can be glued together using construction adhesive or cement.
Cantilever Retaining Wall
A cantilever retaining wall is typically constructed of reinforced concrete or mortar masonry. These walls have a short, vertical stem that provides resistance to soil sliding and overturning. They are built to withstand lateral pressure, lasting for years, maximizing land use and increasing property value.

Does the shape and size of the space affect the feasibility and cost of repairing my retaining walls?
Yes, the shape and size of the space can affect the feasibility and cost of repairing retaining walls. Large spaces may require more material or labour costs to be considered feasible, while smaller spaces will require less. The area’s topography may also influence costs, as more difficult sites often come with increased labour fees. Additionally, certain shapes or slopes may require specialized materials or techniques to complete the repair successfully.
Is drainage an important factor when considering a retention wall repair project?
Yes, drainage is an important factor to consider when thinking about a retaining wall repair project. Proper drainage can help to prevent soil erosion and make the structure more stable. It can also help to improve water seepage and reduce moisture which can lead to potential structural problems down the line. Any repairs or improvements should account for proper drainage solutions such as incorporating a pipe system into the design or using materials that are impermeable to keep water away from the structure.
Do slopes greater than 45 degrees require different techniques for repairing my retainment walls effectively?
Yes, slopes greater than 45 degrees require different techniques for repairing retaining walls effectively. These techniques involve using materials such as geogrid reinforcement and specialized shapes to ensure that the structure stays stable. Additionally, steps must be taken to make sure that water is properly drained away from the wall since any built-up moisture can quickly lead to structural instability. Our specialized contractors have experience with these repairs and will likely be required for these projects due to the complexity of design and installation involved.
Are waterproofing sealants important when performing extensive retention wall repairs ?
Yes, waterproofing sealants are important when performing extensive retaining wall repairs. These sealants help to protect the structure from damage caused by moisture and water seepage. Additionally, they can provide an extra layer of protection from potential wear and tear that may occur due to weather fluctuations or usage of the structure. It’s important to use a quality sealant in order to ensure the longevity of the structure.
Is mortar better than dry-stacked stones to use for my retaining wall repair?
You can use mortar during your retaining wall repairs. However, it should only be used in certain areas such as when creating a curved shape with the stones or filling gaps between them. Mortar should not be used to hold the structure together since it doesn’t provide enough strength for a wall of any significant height. Dry-stacked stones are generally considered to be the best option for building these walls as they are stronger and more durable than mortar.
