Retaining walls in Port Coquitlam
Block, poured concrete and boulder retaining walls across Port Coquitlam, especially on the hillsides of Citadel Heights and Mary Hill.
Working in Port Coquitlam
PoCo's hillside neighbourhoods need walls to create usable flat yard, while the lower, wetter areas need walls that can stand up to saturated soil. Either way, we build every wall with drain rock, filter cloth and a perforated pipe at the footing, because water pressure is what pushes walls over.
We often combine walls with steps, fences and turf, so a sloped PoCo yard becomes level, fenced and finished in one job.
What we build
- Segmental block walls (Allan Block style, Versa-Lok style and similar systems)
- Poured and formed concrete walls
- Natural boulder and rock walls
- Terraced garden walls and raised planters
- Wall replacement and failing-wall repair
- Walls combined with stairs, patios and fences

They transformed my backyard with new artificial grass, a retaining wall, and modern landscaping that turned out even better than I expected! Gareth and the crew showed up on time every day, communicated clearly throughout the project, and left the site clean and tidy at the end of each day. Highly recommend them if you're looking for quality landscape construction done right.
I cannot recommend Premier Grounds Contracting Ltd enough! From start to finish, the entire team was professional, reliable, and incredibly skilled. They transformed my backyard into a stunning modern oasis with new grass, a beautiful patio, and a retaining wall with built in planters that exceeded my expectations. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident every step of the way.
Retaining walls in Port Coquitlam: common questions
Do I need an engineer for my retaining wall?
Taller walls typically need an engineered design and a building permit. We check Port Coquitlam's requirements for your wall height and location at the site visit.
Block or poured concrete?
Segmental block suits most residential walls and is easy to repair. Poured concrete suits tall or tight-space walls and modern designs.
Why do retaining walls fail?
Most failures come from water. Saturated soil behind a wall is far heavier than dry soil, and without drain rock and a drain pipe that pressure builds every rainy season until the wall leans or cracks.
