Town of Ladysmith permit rules
Under Town of Ladysmith Bylaw 2174, a permit is required to build or "structurally repair, a retaining wall greater than 1.2 meters in height", and walls within 1.2 meters of each other count as a single wall. We install concrete block retaining walls that satisfy all local municipal structural guidelines.
Timber and natural rock retaining walls
We construct timber retaining walls at $20–$25 per sq. ft. of wall face to work well for low yard tiers. Natural boulder walls cost $45–$65 per sq. ft. and hold sloped dirt securely. We lay heavy filter fabric and gravel behind every wall.
Repairing and draining hillside walls
We repair shifting wall sections and replace decayed wood walls across sloped Ladysmith properties. Installing drainage behind the wall with perforated pipe in clear crushed rock diverts groundwater away from the footing. Proper drainage prevents water accumulation behind the structure.
