Why Mission BC Homeowners Choose The Rock Man for Retaining Walls
Mission's terrain — steep lots along the Fraser River bench lands, clay-heavy soil, and some of the highest rainfall totals in the Lower Mainland — punishes retaining walls that aren't built correctly. We've spent over 20 years building walls specifically for these conditions, not adapting a generic design from somewhere drier.
Every retaining wall we build in Mission includes proper drainage, correctly compacted base material, and stone selection suited to the wall's height and load. We don't cut corners on the parts you can't see — because those are the parts that determine whether your wall is still standing in 20 years.

Retaining Wall Types We Build in Mission BC
The right retaining wall depends on your slope, soil, and budget. Here's what we install most often across Mission BC properties:
Natural Boulder Retaining Walls
Large natural boulders set into the slope for a rugged, permanent look. Ideal for steep grade changes and larger properties. Minimal maintenance, decades-long lifespan, and improves visually as it weathers in.
Dry Stack Stone Walls
Hand-fitted stone without mortar, allowing natural drainage through the wall itself. A traditional technique that performs exceptionally well in Mission's wet climate because water has nowhere to build up pressure.
Mortar-Set Stone Walls
A more formal, finished look for walls near patios, driveways, or entrances where a cleaner edge is wanted. Engineered with weep holes and drainage behind the wall face.
How We Build Your Retaining Wall — Start to Finish
Free On-Site Estimate
We walk your property, assess the slope, soil, and drainage needs, and provide a detailed written estimate — no pressure, no obligation.
Design & Permit Check
For walls over 1.2m (4 ft), we advise on Mission's permit requirements and handle the engineering details so your wall is built to code.
Excavation & Base Preparation
Proper excavation depth and a compacted gravel base — the foundation that determines whether your wall lasts 5 years or 50.
Drainage Installation
French drains, gravel backfill, and weep holes installed behind the wall to manage water pressure year-round.
Stone Placement & Build
Hand-placed and fitted stone or boulder construction, built course by course for structural integrity and a finished look that suits your property.

We review the completed wall with you, answer any questions, and stand behind the work.
How Much Does a Retaining Wall Cost in Mission BC?
Retaining wall costs in Mission BC typically range from $150 to $350 per square foot installed, depending on wall height, stone type, site access, and drainage complexity. A standard residential retaining wall — around 20 feet long and 4 feet high — usually falls between $8,000 and $25,000 fully installed.
Several factors affect your final price:
- Wall height: Taller walls require more engineering, deeper footings, and more material per linear foot.
- Stone type: Natural boulders, dry stack stone, and mortar-set stone each have different material and labour costs.
- Site access: Walls in backyards with limited equipment access cost more than walls accessible from the street.
- Drainage requirements: Steeper slopes or poor soil drainage may need additional french drains or gravel backfill, adding to cost.
