Retaining Wall Installation

With years of experience managing the unique terrain of our province, we have focused on perfecting a process that ensures every retaining wall we build is as durable as it is functional.

By prioritizing the engineering essentials, we help our clients solve erosion and slope issues with lasting results. We believe our work should speak for itself. We’re committed to providing straightforward, honest service and the solid craftsmanship required to protect your property for years to come.

Consulting

In addition to our installation services, we provide comprehensive project development consulting and material supply for clients looking to get their projects off the ground. Whether you are in the early planning stages or are ready to source high-quality materials, we offer the technical guidance needed to ensure your design is both practical and structurally sound.

From selecting the right stone or block systems to coordinating the delivery of site-specific materials, we’re here to share our expertise and supply the professional-grade products required for a successful, long-lasting build.

Structural Repairs

Not every failing wall requires a full replacement. We specialize in the structural repair of existing retaining walls, helping property owners address issues like leaning, cracking, or poor drainage before they escalate.

By assessing the underlying cause of the failure, we implement targeted solutions such as reinforcing foundations or restoring drainage paths to stabilize the structure and extend its lifespan. Our goal is to restore the integrity of your property with practical, effective repairs that ensure long-term safety and peace of mind.

Our Legacy: Decades of Stability

Kan Retain-it Contracting is a family-owned business combining over 50 years of specialized experience in the installation of retaining walls. Based in Langley, British Columbia, we have built a reputation for quality and service that spans generations.

We ensure each project meets diverse needs and budgets effectively by providing the most technically sound solutions for the specific terrain.
