Albany Contracting Group · Hamilton, Ontario
Retaining walls change how soil and water behave on a property. Albany Contracting Group works with Hamilton-area homeowners to discuss wall projects in the context of the slope, surrounding spaces and the purpose of the wall.
Request an estimateThe details matter
Wall height, the slope above it and nearby driveways or buildings influence the project. Share photos of the full area rather than just the wall face. A wall supporting a load or occupying a constrained site may need additional review before a construction scope is confirmed.
A finished wall is more than the visible stone or block. Ground preparation, the supporting base and water movement behind the wall are important parts of planning. Existing leaning, movement or washout should be assessed rather than hidden by a new facing.
Stairs, fences, walkways and changes in grade may all meet the retaining wall. Discuss these connections early, including access for construction and any limits imposed by neighbouring properties. The final scope should identify where the proposed work begins and ends.
Helpful answers
That depends on its height, location, loading and local requirements. These questions should be reviewed for the specific site rather than assuming every residential wall is treated the same way.
Movement can indicate problems with drainage, the base or the wall structure. The cause and condition need to be assessed before deciding whether repair or rebuilding is appropriate.
