Azuro designs and constructs retaining walls built to last a lifetime.
Fully Engineered Retaining Walls
To protect against slope instability and to add valuable safe space to your yard, you may need to build a retaining wall. Azuro builds fully engineered retaining walls for a variety of purposes ranging from 1’ to 30’ high and 300’ long or more.
Natural Looking Stable Retaining Walls
Our retaining walls are designed and built according to geotechnical standards with attention to the preservation of existing vegetation and the promotion of long-term stability. Built with high strength concrete and reinforced with mesh and rebar as required, our retainer walls are built to last your lifetime and beyond. We can finish your retainer wall with a decorative coating to match the natural stone in your yard, so it blends into the natural beauty of your backyard.
Retaining Walls for Peace of Mind
A high strength reinforced concrete retainer wall built by Azuro will provide you with peace of mind that your beautiful backyard is safe, so you can relax and enjoy it for years to come.
Compare Inground Custom Concrete and Prebuilt Fiberglass Swimming Pools
| Inground Concrete | Prebuilt Fiberglass | |
|---|---|---|
| Installation/ Build | After excavation, a metal/rebar frame is constructed, concrete (gunite or shotcrete) is applied to form the pool shell, and the interior surface is applied. | Fiberglass pools are pre-moulded, which allows for a faster installation after excavation than concrete pools. |
| Customization | Fully customizable to any shape or size. | Limited to prebuilt formats and sizes are based on transportation limitations (max ~15 wide). |
| Durability | When maintained, a well-built concrete pool structure will last ~50 years. | Fiberglass is a strong and resilient material that can withstand harsh weather conditions and resist cracking, making it long-lasting (~25 years). |
| Maintenance | Low maintenance. Depending on weather conditions, it may require resurfacing every ~25 years. | Low maintenance. |
| Interior Surface and Texture | Plaster, exposed aggregate, tile, or polished aggregate, which can be smooth or textured. | Gel-coat finish provides a smooth, non-slip surface that is gentle on swimmers. |
| Cleaning | Requires regular brushing and vacuuming. | Fiberglass surface discourages algae growth and minimizes the need for scrubbing, making cleaning easy and requiring fewer chemicals |
| Build Estimate* | 16 to 20+ weeks | 10 to 12 weeks |
*From permitting approval to finish. Note, a building permit is required to construct or install swimming pools in BC. Permits are issued by municipalities, and processing time varies depending on project type and your location.
