Retaining Wall Design Toronto – Beautiful & Functional Hardscapes
Custom retaining walls that stabilize, beautify, and add value to your property.
A&A Masonry builds durable retaining walls using natural stone, concrete blocks, armour stone, and pavers—perfect for driveways, gardens, patios, pools, and slopes.
What is a Retaining Wall?
A retaining wall is a structure specifically designed to hold back soil, stabilize slopes, and prevent erosion. These essential landscape elements are constructed to manage elevation changes in yards, gardens, or commercial properties, creating flat, usable spaces on uneven terrain.
Benefits of Retaining Walls
Soil Stabilization: Prevents erosion and controls water flow during heavy rain.
Improved Aesthetics: Adds visual interest and structured boundaries.
Maximized Space: Converts slopes into flat areas ideal for patios, driveways, seating, or gardens.
Enhanced Property Value: Professionally designed walls boost appeal and resale value.
Safety & Protection: Secures slopes, minimizes flood risk, and shields against landslides.

Client Stories & Satisfaction

This is the second time Ive used A&A Masonry. They repaired my flagstone entry way last year. This year I had them back to replace a crumbling wood retaining wall and walkway along the side of my house. They also leveled the pavers in my backyard. The experience was fantastic from start to finish. They were working within a week from the time I called. It would have been even faster if it wasnt for the weather. Tani and his crew did great work and cleaned up nicely once complete.

Side Retaining Wall and Leveling Patio

A&A did an excellent job replacing and repairing a 55 foot retaining wall between me and my neighbour. Removal of 25 feet of concrete block wall, replacing with concrete block, weeping tile and gravel and applying concrete coat to entire 55 feet was completed in 2 days. Matt and Joel kept the site neat and cleaned up at the end of the job. They were polite and professional and answered any questions I had. Well Done! My neighbour expressed some concerns about bits of concrete that were left on his garage door and driveway. He had to power wash the door and driveway. Hayden spoke to my neighbour and resolved the issue. I recommend A&A to anyone needing concrete work and will happily use them again.

Retaining Wall Replacement

We had a front retaining wall, steps and walkway replaced by A&A. The crew was fabulous in all ways. Polite, friendly, helpful, tidy and creative - a pleasure to work with. They delivered a product that was modified on the fly to accommodate leveling needs and aesthetics, and even switched out some capping that wasn't the "right" color when seeing it with the other products. They were also very careful around the existing garden and saved most of the plants that might have been dug up when rebuilding. The result was excellent - we would use this company again.
