Armour Stone Retaining Wall Construction | Simcoe County

Armor stone is ideal for structural retaining walls construction where durability and aesthetics both matter. We use it in a range of applications, including:

   •   Grade retention along sloped properties

   •   Shoreline stabilization on lakefronts

   •   Tiered landscape walls

   •   Raised patios or outdoor living spaces

   •   Property boundaries and garden edges

• It’s a premium material that holds up under pressure — and looks better with time.

Every armor stone wall we build starts with proper excavation and base prep — because no wall lasts without it in Simcoe County. 

We use:

   •   Mechanically placed armor stone retaining wall (2–4 feet in size)

   •   Compacted gravel base and geotextile fabric

   •   Drainage trenching where required

   •   Staggered joints and stone capping as needed

Our builds are planned for long-term stability, whether you’re holding back a slope or framing a backyard makeover. Choose expert retaining wall construction by MC Installation.
