Expert Landscape Drainage Solutions & Retaining Wall Repair

Trapped water is the single most destructive force facing Okanagan properties. Hydrostatic pressure behind retaining walls causes leaning and collapse, while poor surface grading leads to flooded crawl spaces, ruined lawns, and foundation damage during spring thaw and heavy rains.

At Okanagan Landscaping, we diagnose root drainage issues and repair compromised hardscapes before total structural failure occurs.

Signs Your Retaining Wall or Yard Has a Drainage Problem

• Bulging or Leaning Wall: Blocks or rocks pushing forward due to heavy, water-logged soil behind them.
• Efflorescence (White Chalky Powder): Water pulling minerals through concrete blocks, leaving white stains.
• Soggy Lawns & Standing Water: Water pooling near foundation walls or flat yard areas long after rain stops.
• Erosion & Soil Washout: Trenches carved into sloped yards during heavy downpours.

Our Drainage & Repair Solutions

1. French Drain & Sub-Surface Drain Installation

We dig targeted trenches, lay perforated piping wrapped in geotextile filter fabric, and backfill with clear crushed rock to capture ground water and direct it safely away from structures.

2. Retaining Wall Rebuilding & Drainage Retrofitting

If your existing timber or block wall is leaning, we can excavate behind it, relieve soil pressure, replace rotted or broken components, install proper drainage rock/weep tile, and rebuild the structure correctly.

3. Catch Basins & Swale Construction

For severe surface runoff along sloped properties, we construct subtle gravel swales and install heavy-duty catch basins to capture volume water before it reaches your patio or basement walls.

4. Downspout Extension & Runoff Redirection

Connecting roof gutter downspouts into underground solid PVC pipes to dump roof runoff far away from retaining wall footings and home foundations.

Don’t Wait for a Wall Failure

A failing wall or bad drainage system gets exponentially more expensive to fix the longer it is left ignored. Protect your home investment today.
