Retaining Wall Construction
Professional retaining wall construction that prevents erosion, creates usable terraced space, and adds visual interest to your Calgary property.
What's Included
Expert Retaining Wall Construction
Site Analysis & Design
We assess soil type, water flow, and grade change to design a wall system that handles forces properly.
Proper Drainage Systems
Weep holes, perforated backfill, and gravel work behind the wall prevent water pressure buildup and wall failure.
Material Selection
Choose from natural stone, concrete block, segmental blocks, or poured concrete. Each has different looks and structural properties.
Code-Compliant Foundation
Proper excavation, compacted base, and frost line consideration prevent settling and structural issues.
Professional Installation
Precise alignment, bonding, and compaction ensure the wall is structurally sound and visually clean.
Backfill & Landscaping
We backfill behind the wall with proper materials and can integrate planting to enhance the finished look.

What Calgary Homeowners Say
“Taha Landscaping was recommended to us by a neighbour, and we're glad to have used Taha. Kal (owner) was quick in responding and always made himself available to discuss our landscaping. The work he did was extremely high quality, quick and priced fairly. We'll be using Taha again next summer as we add more features to our yard.”

“We have had a fence built and it was perfect, on time and great value! And we have had a 750 square foot stone patio that has increased our outdoor living space and we love it! Looks lovely, sloped and drains and we were advised on design and product choice! We love it!”

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a retaining wall cost in Calgary?
Costs vary with wall height, material, and site conditions. Simple short walls cost less than tall structures or complex designs. We quote after an on-site assessment.

Concrete block is durable and affordable. Natural stone adds character. Poured concrete offers custom finishes. We help you choose based on look, budget, and function.

Height limits depend on local codes and soil conditions. We assess your property and advise on what is possible and compliant.
