Reclaim Your Land. Create Usable Space.
A sloped or eroding yard can feel like unusable space. A professionally built retaining wall is the ultimate solution, turning a challenging landscape into your property’s greatest asset. Steve at Meadowlark Landscaping combines expert engineering with quality materials to build walls that are structurally sound, beautiful, and built to last for decades in the Okanagan.
The Difference is in the Foundation You Don’t See
A professionally built retaining wall turns a challenging slope into your property’s greatest asset. The key to a wall that lasts for decades is proper preparation, which often includes critical drainage solutions behind the wall. We assess the need for drainage based on the wall’s height, the slope of the ground behind it, and the area it needs to manage. For shorter, decorative walls, drainage may not be necessary, but for taller, structural walls, it is essential to prevent pressure buildup and ensure long-term stability. Steve at Meadowlark Landscaping builds walls that are as smart as they are strong.
Choosing the Right Wall for Your Property
The best material depends on your budget, aesthetic, and the wall’s function. Steve has extensive experience with both:
- Stone & Block Walls: Provide a timeless, elegant appearance with unmatched durability. We offer a variety of manufactured blocks that lock together or traditional natural stone for a more rustic feel.
- Timber Retaining Walls: Offer a classic, rustic look and are a cost-effective solution for many projects. We use high-quality, pressure-treated timbers designed for ground contact.
Beyond Function: Integrating Beauty
Steve’s skill allows him to integrate your retaining wall seamlessly into your overall landscape design. We can build curved walls for a softer look, incorporate landscape stairs directly into the wall for easy access to upper levels, and design terraced walls (multiple shorter walls) that are often more visually appealing and manageable than one tall, imposing structure.
