Retaining Walls in LaSalle

Retaining Walls for LaSalle properties

LaSalle's newer subdivisions, pool backyards and riverfront lots along Front Road make it one of the busiest places in the area for backyard builds. In LaSalle, walls often frame patios and pool areas, or hold the grade around walk-out basements. On subdivision lots, we build them without blocking the drainage swales the lot was graded with.

What's included

Retaining walls and garden walls built on a buried, compacted base with drainage behind, so they hold soil and stay straight. Depending on your property, that can include:

• Wall layout
• Excavation
• A compacted base
• Drainage behind the wall
• Geogrid reinforcement
• Caps
• Locate and design.
• Base course.
• Build up.
• Cap and finish.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for retaining walls in LaSalle, get clear answers to these before you book:

• Is the first course buried, and how is the base built?
• What drainage goes behind the wall?
• Will the wall need geogrid, an engineer or a permit?
• Are the caps glued down?
• What warranty do you give on the wall?

Access, permits and local rules

Most LaSalle subdivision lots have a gate on one or both sides, and we plan for fences, pools and existing patios when bringing in machines and materials. Every dig starts with free utility locates through Ontario One Call. Lots built to approved grading plans need their swales kept working, and changes to driveways, curb cuts or the boulevard usually need the Town of LaSalle's approval. Properties near the Detroit River and creeks can fall under Essex Region Conservation Authority rules, so we check first.
