Recently had my backyard landscaped and chose Nanaimo Retaining Walls for the project. Their team transformed a sloping mess into a visually stunning and functional space. I was especially impressed with their attention to detail and the quality of materials used. Now, I have a garden that I'm proud to show off to family and friends. Thanks, guys!

Exceptional workmanship on our Allan Block retaining wall. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is evident. The wall is durable and well-built, matching perfectly with our garden's aesthetics. The service was slightly pricier than expected, but the quality and durability justified the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

What steps are part of a retaining wall project with Nanaimo Retaining Walls?

The process includes an on-site assessment and fixed written quote, utility locates, excavation and base preparation, drainage and geogrid, wall construction and capping, then cleanup and a homeowner walkthrough.

What timelines does Nanaimo Retaining Walls give for retaining wall work?

Small garden walls under about 0.6 m generally take 2–4 days; mid-size segmental walls take 1–2 weeks; engineered walls or tricky-access sites take 2–4+ weeks.

Does Nanaimo Retaining Walls coordinate permits and engineering?

Walls above certain heights, near driveways, slopes or structures, or close to property lines may require permits and engineer-stamped drawings. The company advises on City of Nanaimo requirements and coordinates engineering.

How does Nanaimo Retaining Walls handle drainage?

It uses a tightly packed gravel base with the first row below ground and adds perforated drain pipe to carry water to daylight or a sump. It also uses clean, free-draining stone wrapped in filter fabric, geogrid for taller or heavy-load walls, and grading that directs rain away.

What payment schedule does Nanaimo Retaining Walls use?

Payment terms use a deposit to schedule, progress payments at agreed milestones, and a balance on completion after the walkthrough. Exact percentages are set out in the written quotation and contract.
