Agassiz Hardscaping, Retaining Walls & Outdoor Builds

Retaining walls, patios, walkways, and driveways built for Agassiz properties. High water tables and flood-plain soils make drainage planning and base compaction the foundation of every build.

Poor Base Prep Is Why Hardscaping Fails

Hardscaping fails when the base is wrong. Uneven surfaces, shifting pavers, and drainage problems that keep coming back are almost always a foundation issue. FVC starts every project with proper excavation, base material compacted in lifts, and drainage graded away from the structure. The surface is the last step, not the first.

Common Hardscaping Challenges We Solve

Improper grading can cause water to collect on patios and walkways, leading to damage and unsafe conditions. We design hardscapes with built-in drainage solutions.

Poorly built retaining walls can collapse, crack, or lean, causing costly repairs. We use reinforced structures and proper drainage techniques to ensure long-lasting stability.

Without proper base preparation and compaction, pavers can shift, crack, or sink over time. We ensure a solid foundation for long-term durability.

What Makes FVC Different on a Hardscaping Project

The Approach That Keeps Hardscaping From Failing

Drainage and Grade Come Before the Surface

We plan slope, water flow, and surface drainage before the first paver or stone goes down. That is what keeps hardscaping level through Fraser Valley winters.

Base Material Compacted in Lifts

3/4-inch crusher run base, compacted in 2-inch lifts, with polymeric joint sand and edge restraint. The materials matter. The process matters more.

One Written Scope Before Work Starts

Every project starts with a written scope. Site visit first, then a clear quote. No verbal change orders.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hardscaping

At Fraser Valley Contracting, we understand that every hardscaping project comes with important decisions. Below are answers to common questions about materials, timelines, drainage, and what to expect when building retaining walls, patios, walkways, and outdoor features.

We work with pavers, natural stone, stamped concrete, and brick. Material choice depends on site conditions, load requirements, and how the surface will be used.

The timeline varies based on the project, but most patios and walkways take 1-2 weeks, while larger projects like retaining walls or full backyard renovations may take longer.

Yes. Drainage is planned before the first stone or paver goes down. We grade surfaces away from structures and install French drains or curtain drains where the site needs them.

Hardscaping built on a proper base holds its value because it does not need to be redone. Pavers that stay level, walls that do not shift, and drainage that works through wet seasons protect the investment.
