What makes North Okanagan walls different

Vernon and Coldstream get more snow and colder winters than Kelowna or Penticton. Every spring that snowmelt soaks into the ground behind your wall, and every winter that wet ground freezes and expands. Walls built without proper drainage are the ones you see leaning, bulging or cracking a few years later.

That’s why every wall we build starts with a compacted gravel base, drain rock and perforated pipe behind the wall, and free-draining backfill. Water drains out before it has a chance to freeze and push.

From a Coldstream client

“Mountain goats” in Coldstream

Barb needed a concrete slab for her hot tub on a hard-to-reach Coldstream property. She called our crew professional and fast, and said we didn’t complain once about having to be “mountain goats” to get the job done.

That same attitude goes into every retaining wall we build up here. Tough access just means more planning.
