Contact Hamilton Retaining Walls

Use the contact form below to request your free on-site assessment and itemized quote, or call us now to speak with a coordinator. We build and repair concrete block (segmental), boulder, blast rock, and poured concrete retaining walls across Hamilton, Ancaster, Stoney Creek, Dundas, Waterdown, Binbrook, and Burlington.


Why Contact Us First


  • Fast responses. Most enquiries are acknowledged the same business day, and we book site visits quickly.
  • Clear pricing. You’ll receive a line-item proposal—materials, drainage, excavation, disposal, optional upgrades, and a schedule window.
  • Engineered quality. Proper base, compaction, geotextile, drainage tile, and geogrid (when specified). Built for Hamilton’s freeze–thaw cycles.
  • Permits handled. We coordinate engineering and City of Hamilton submissions when required.
  • Clean, safe worksites. Neighbour-friendly staging, daily tidy-ups, and crew professionalism.
  • Local + insured. A Hamilton retaining wall contractor you can call, meet, and hold accountable.


Our Promises to You


  1) We’ll be easy to reach. From first call to final walkthrough, you’ll have a single point of contact who answers the phone, texts back, and keeps you updated.

  2) We’ll recommend the right solution—not the most expensive one. We design to your site, goals, and budget—boulder or blast rock for a natural look,       segmental block for clean lines and curves, or poured concrete for tight setbacks and modern finishes.

  3) We’ll build it right the first time. Every project includes a compacted granular base, perforated drain tile to a free-flow outlet, clean crushed backfill, and     geotextile to keep fines out. Taller or loaded walls receive engineered geogrid and setback per design.

  4) We’ll protect your property. Access mats, plywood protection, and planned traffic routes reduce disruption to lawns, driveways, and gardens.

  5) We’ll stand behind our work. You’ll receive a written workmanship warranty plus manufacturer warranties where applicable.


How the Process Works


  1. Reach out. Use the contact form or call. Share your address, rough wall height/length, preferred style (boulder, block, blast rock, poured), and photos if available.
  2. Free on-site assessment. We measure, review access, note utilities, assess soils and drainage, and discuss options that suit your property and budget.
  3. Design & quote. Expect a clear, itemized proposal within 48–72 hours (complex engineered projects may take longer). We’ll outline timeline, permits, and any alternatives.
  4. Schedule & build. We lock dates, mobilize, and complete excavation, base prep, drainage, and wall construction. Finishes may include caps, steps, or terraces.
  5. Walkthrough & warranty. Final grading, thorough cleanup, and a warranty package—plus simple maintenance tips to maximize longevity.


What to Include When You Contact Us (Speeds Up Your Quote)


  • Project address and best phone number.
  • Approximate wall height and length (a rough estimate is fine).
  • Photos of the site and access (side yards, gates, slopes).
  • Preferred look (natural boulder/blast rock, modern block, or sleek poured concrete).
  • Target timeline (e.g., “by summer,” “before winter”).
  • Any drainage issues you’ve noticed (pooling water, soggy areas, leaning wall).


Built for Hamilton Conditions


Hamilton’s mix of clay soils, ravines, and winter freeze–thaw demands robust design and drainage. Our walls are designed to relieve hydrostatic pressure, resist frost heave, and maintain alignment season after season. Whether you’re reclaiming yard space, protecting a driveway, or creating terraces and stairs, we’ll balance aesthetics, structure, and cost so you get the best long-term value.
