Retaining walls that hold their line
Engineered segmental and natural stone walls that hold grade and drain properly.
A retaining wall is a drainage project with a nice face on it. Walls fail because water builds up behind them, not because the blocks were weak. We build with proper base depth, clear stone backfill, drainage tile and geogrid reinforcement where the height calls for it.
What this covers
- Segmental block and armour stone walls
- Natural stone and boulder walls
- Terraced and tiered garden walls
- Geogrid reinforcement for taller walls
- Drainage tile, clear stone backfill and filter fabric
- Integrated steps, caps, lighting conduit and seating
How we approach it
Survey
Grade, soil and water flow assessed so the wall is designed for your actual site.
Base
Trench excavated below frost concerns, compacted granular base levelled to millimetres.
Build
Courses set with proper batter, backfilled with clear stone, tile run to daylight.
Cap
Caps adhered, grade restored, site cleaned and seeded or sodded as agreed.
Retaining Walls across Woodstock & Oxford County
We work throughout Woodstock and the surrounding townships, as well as London, Brantford and Stratford. Housing stock varies enormously across the county, and so does the right approach: a century farmhouse and a recent subdivision build need completely different mortar, detailing and expectations.

Reviews
Homeowners, in their own words
Every review below is from a real job in a real neighbourhood — most within ten minutes of each other.
“Such a beautiful stone fireplace we had installed. It really elevates the look of our living room, and we appreciate the reasonable price and quality job.”
“Our stone walkway and steps were applied very evenly and carefully. I'm a perfectionist so I notice sloppy jobs, but this one was done very well, so kudos to these guys. I would go with them again when I need more masonry work done.”
“We needed the sides of our house refaced as the brick was crumbling and falling apart. We're very pleased with their brick restoration services.”
“They were excellent to work with. Very detail oriented, and they left a clean job site. They helped with a small repointing job on my house and rebuilt my parents' chimney.”
“They came out and handled my chimney rebuild. Quality work, done right. It's never looked better. Highly recommend.”
“The crew are great at what they do. They do great work for a great price and the end result always exceeds expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need!”
FAQ
Retaining Walls — common questions
In Oxford County, walls over 1 metre generally require a permit and engineered drawings. We will tell you if yours does and can coordinate the engineering.
Almost always no drainage behind it. Water pressure pushes hard. Fixing it means rebuilding with clear stone and tile, not just resetting the blocks.
No. Estimates are free, written, and come with photos of what we found. There is no obligation and we do not do high-pressure follow-up calls.
Yes — fully insured with WSIB coverage on every crew member. We will send you certificates before work starts, without being asked.
Small repairs can often be fit in within a week or two. Larger builds in peak season (May–September) typically book 3–6 weeks out. Chimney and water-related emergencies get prioritised.
Need retaining walls sorted this season?
Small repairs can often be fitted in within a week or two. Larger builds book three to six weeks out in summer, and water or safety problems jump the queue.
