Retaining Wall Contractor in Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge stretches along the north shore of the Fraser River and climbs up into the foothills of the Golden Ears mountains. This varied terrain, from the flat agricultural floodplain to the steep residential slopes above town, creates a range of retaining wall conditions that we encounter regularly in this community.

Maple Ridge's residential development pattern — with many large lots, rural residential properties, and agricultural holdings alongside the newer residential subdivisions — means we do retaining wall work that ranges from small garden terracing on rural acreages to engineered structural walls on steep residential lots.

Retaining Walls in Maple Ridge

The upland areas of Maple Ridge (Hammond, Websters Corners, Silver Valley) sit on glacial deposits over bedrock, with generally good bearing capacity for retaining wall footings. The valley areas have river-deposited soils that are softer, with higher groundwater levels closer to the Fraser.

Maple Ridge's large lot sizes mean that retaining wall projects often involve more linear footage than typical small-lot urban projects. We frequently build 30–60 metre retaining walls in Maple Ridge, particularly in rural residential and hobby farm settings where the property was regraded during development.
