// Retaining walls in Richmond
The wall types and finishes we build most around Steveston.
The local stuff that actually matters.
Richmond's high water table changes how we drain walls. We daylight to municipal storm or use a sumped collection point, because there's nowhere for water to soak.
Most of our calls in Richmond come from homeowners around Steveston and Terra Nova, plus Richmond City Centre. Whether you're building from scratch or replacing a wall that's leaning, the assessment is the same: walk the slope, check the drainage, figure out what's really going on, and quote the job honestly.

Questions from Richmond homeowners.
Yes, if your wall is over 1.2 metres (about 4 feet) tall. The City of Surrey requires an engineered design and a building permit for anything taller. Walls under 1.2 metres usually don't need a permit, but if your wall supports a driveway, a building, or sits near the property line, the city may still want to see drawings. We handle the whole permit process for you.
