Nanaimo retaining wall permit rules
Under City of Nanaimo rules, building permits are required for walls "greater than 1.2m in height", and structures over 1.2 m require a registered professional engineer. An application fee applies when construction exceeds $20,000, and retaining walls "must conform to the maximum fence height in Zoning Bylaw 4500." We build concrete block retaining walls that comply with all local municipal guidelines.
Structural block and rock walls in Nanaimo
We build heavy interlocking block systems and natural rock and boulder retaining walls across local lots. Interlocking block systems cost $15–$40 per sq. ft. of wall face and provide clean geometric terrace lines. Natural rock walls range from $45–$65 per sq. ft. and create durable natural retention.
Wall repair and drainage solutions
We repair leaning retaining walls and replace older timber structures that have settled over time. Every job includes drainage behind the wall with perforated pipe and clear crushed stone backfill to relieve hydrostatic water pressure. Proper drainage keeps your new structure stable.
