Qualicum Beach building bylaw rules
Under Town of Qualicum Beach Building Bylaw No. 903, 2024, a permit is required for a retaining wall "exceeding 1.2 metres in height". The bylaw states that a registered professional shall "undertake the design" of the wall. We construct engineered retaining walls on taller builds where these structural rules apply.
Rock and concrete block walls
We construct natural rock and boulder retaining walls at $45–$65 per sq. ft. of wall face to create classic stone terraces in coastal yards. Interlocking concrete block walls run $15–$40 per sq. ft. and deliver long-lasting earth retention. We construct base trenches with deep gravel footings.
Drainage and wall restoration
We replace failing wood or block walls with fresh structural materials and proper backfill stone. Installing drainage behind the wall with perforated pipe carries water away safely. Eliminating trapped water protects your wall against leaning and ground pressure.
