Gabriola Island building permit rules
On Gabriola Island, Building Regulations Bylaw No. 1250 designates that work "under 1.0 m in height that retain less than 1.0 m of earth" is omitted from structure rules. Property owners filing an RDN retaining wall checklist pay a $25 title search fee alongside a $150 processing fee. We install timber retaining walls for low garden terraces throughout the island.
Natural rock and timber island builds
We construct natural rock and boulder retaining walls at $45–$65 per sq. ft. of wall face to blend with Gabriola property landscapes. Timber retaining structures cost $20–$25 per sq. ft. and offer an economical option for low garden terraces. We pack sub-base gravel thoroughly under every tier.
Drainage and structural wall repair
We fix cracked or tilting walls by rebuilding the base and adding proper drainage behind the wall. Perforated pipe wrapped in filter fabric channels groundwater away from the wall foundation. Clean gravel backfill ensures water empties freely without washing soil out.
