Retaining Walls
Retaining wall construction in Chilliwack, Agassiz, and Langley. Allan Block, raised beds, and boulder walls built for structural stability, drainage control, and clean finishing details.

Engineered for Strength. Finished with Intention.
Retaining walls are structural elements first, landscaping features second.
When built properly, they solve grading issues, prevent erosion, and create usable outdoor space. When rushed, they shift, lean, and fail.
At SKP Outdoor Contracting, retaining walls are designed and installed with long-term stability in mind. Proper base preparation, drainage planning, and clean finishing details are non-negotiable.
We build retaining walls for custom homes and residential properties across Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Agassiz, and Langley. We focus on durability, communication, and doing it right the first time.
Long-Term Structural Stability
Clean, Defined Outdoor Space
Allan Block Retaining Walls
Allan Block systems are engineered for strength and versatility. They’re ideal for:
Structural grade changes
Tiered landscaping
Long runs with consistent elevation
Clean, modern backyard builds
Our approach includes:
Proper excavation and leveling pad
Compacted structural base
Drainage rock and backfill
Integrated drainage systems
Clean alignment and tight block placement
Retaining walls fail because of poor prep, not poor products.
We focus heavily on what’s below grade so the wall stays solid over time.

Raised Beds
Raised beds are more than garden boxes. They can define space, add elevation, and create architectural structure within your landscape.
We build raised beds that:
Tie into patios and walkways
Match home materials and hardscape
Improve soil control and planting health
Create clean visual borders
Whether constructed with block or integrated into a larger retaining system, raised beds should feel like part of the overall design, not an afterthought.
Clean edges. Consistent lines. Proper drainage.

Boulder Walls
Boulder walls offer a more natural, heavy-duty aesthetic while still performing structurally.
Ideal for:
Sloped properties
Large elevation changes
Natural-style landscapes
High-impact visual features
Installation requires:
Equipment experience
Proper base support
Strategic placement for interlock and stability
Drainage consideration behind the wall
Boulder walls may look organic, but they still require precision planning.
We position each stone intentionally so the wall feels stable, balanced, and integrated into the property.

Our Process
1. Inquiry & Site Review
We evaluate grading, soil conditions, and elevation change.
2. Design & Material Selection
Block, raised bed integration, or boulder style — based on property and preference.
3. Excavation & Base Preparation
This stage determines long-term performance.
4. Wall Installation & Backfill
Structural integrity and alignment are prioritized.
5. Final Walkthrough
We review every detail and ensure the wall feels complete and stable.
If adjustments are needed, we handle them. Doing it right is the standard.
