Authentic Okanagan Basalt & Natural Rock Wall Construction
For property owners who want a timeless, organic look that blends seamlessly into the natural landscape of the valley, natural stone retaining walls are the premier choice.
We specialize in sourcing, hand-selecting, and placing local Okanagan Basalt, Granite, and Armor Stone to construct breathtaking natural rock walls for residential estates, vineyards, and waterfront properties.
The Beauty of Local Okanagan Basalt
Local basalt is famous for its rich iron staining, deep charcoal tones, and rugged natural textures. Sourced directly from B.C. quarries, natural stone walls enhance property values while providing immense structural weight to hold back sloped terrain.
- Authentic Regional Aesthetic: Matches the natural cliff faces, vineyards, and pine forests of the Okanagan Valley.
- Extreme Structural Weight: Massive rock boulders provide natural gravity retention without relying on synthetic materials.
- Custom Craftsmanship: Each stone is individually selected, rotated, and fitted by skilled stonemasons to create tight, structurally sound seams.
Natural Stone Wall Options We Offer
- Stacked Basalt Walls: Medium-to-large split basalt rocks stacked tight for garden terracing, property boundaries, and estate entrances.
- Large Boulder Gravity Walls: Multi-ton granite and basalt armor stone placed with heavy excavators to secure severe hillsides.
- Dry-Stack vs. Mortared Walls: We offer traditional free-draining dry-stack stone walls as well as mortared stone features for pillars and raised beds.
Why Drainage Matters in Rock Walls
While natural stone allows some water to seep through crevices, unmanaged runoff behind a rock wall can wash away fine soil, causing stones to shift over time.
Every natural stone wall we build features a dedicated layer of clear drainage rock and non-woven geotextile fabric behind the stone face, keeping your soil in place and preventing wall displacement during heavy spring snowmelt.
