A well-built retaining wall does far more than look good — it holds back soil, levels a sloped yard, manages drainage, and creates usable, flat space where you didn’t have it before. King Kongtracting designs and builds retaining walls and armour stone features throughout Richmond Hill and the GTA that are engineered to stay straight and solid for decades.

Why proper engineering matters
Most failed retaining walls fail for the same reasons: no proper footing, no drainage behind the wall, and no allowance for frost. We build on a compacted granular base, install drainage stone and weeping tile behind the wall, and use the right block or stone for the load — so the wall resists the pressure of saturated, freezing soil instead of bowing or leaning over time.
Why homeowners choose King Kongtracting
Retaining walls are structural — this is not the place to cut corners. Our Richmond Hill team builds walls the right way, with the base and drainage that make them last, and finishes them to complement your hardscaping and interlocking.
Retaining wall FAQ
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall? In many Ontario municipalities, walls over a certain height require a permit. We’ll let you know what your project needs and help you plan accordingly.
Armour stone or block — which is better? Both are excellent; it comes down to look, height and budget. Armour stone gives a natural, rugged look, while block offers clean, uniform lines. We’ll recommend the right fit for your yard.
