How we approach retaining wall installation in Pointe-Claire
- 1
1. Site Evaluation and Planning
We assess the slope, soil conditions, load requirements, drainage conditions, and how water currently moves through the area. This helps determine the right wall system and construction approach for long-term performance.

2. Excavation and Base Preparation
The area is excavated to remove unstable material and create the depth needed for a proper structural base. A gravel base is then installed and compacted in layers to support the wall and reduce long-term movement.

3. Drainage Installation
Drainage is installed behind the wall using the right materials and layout to let water escape freely. This step is critical because retaining walls do not just hold soil, they also have to manage pressure created by moisture behind the structure.

4. Backfill and Reinforcement
Proper backfill materials are installed to support the structure while still allowing drainage. When required, reinforcement such as geogrid is added to tie the wall into the soil behind it and improve long-term stability, especially on taller or more heavily loaded walls.

5. Block Installation and Alignment
Wall blocks are installed with careful attention to level, alignment, spacing, and structural consistency. The goal is a wall that looks clean while also performing the way it should.

6. Finishing and Final Inspection
