Abbotsford Retaining Wall

A retaining wall that looks like wood with the longevity of concrete 

Elegant Patio with Bridgewood

This Abbotsford, British Columbia, project focused on creating a functional and stylish outdoor space for a customer who wanted to replace an old garden wall and add a patio area for entertaining family. The timeline required completion before the end of summer to maximize seasonal enjoyment.

The customer disliked the appearance of Allan Block and desired the look of wood, but did not want to replace his wall with wood again as it’s lifespan is so short. Natasha proposed a creative solution: Barkman Bridgewood concrete blocks, a special-order product that mimics the appearance of wood while providing a retaining wall that will last 100+ years. The installation process required heavy lifting, including craning the 170-pound blocks into the backyard and using a specialized excavator clamp.

The result is a striking and long-lasting outdoor space that blends beauty and functionality.

Sam and his crew did a fantastic job installing our patio and garden wall. Communication before, during and after the project was excellent. From our initial phone consultation with Natasha, right through to the post- construction clean-up, the entire process was very professional.

Sam and Natasha provided helpful suggestions for materials to use for our project, and once on site Sam had good design recommendations. Everything was very well organized, the site was kept as tidy as possible, and Sam and his crew were very hard working and efficient.

The project was completed on time and on budget, with excellent workmanship.

We love our new outdoor space. Thank-you Sam & Natasha
