With limited space due to steep slopes and rugged terrain—this backyard project required a unique design.

The architect’s solution was to create elaborate retaining walls, walkways and step up and down levels, and finish the design off with a lovely waterfall that flows into a peaceful coy pond—and that’s what we did.

Backyard Renovation Project: Retaining Wall with Waterfall and Pond

This project showcases the transformation of a challenging backyard in North Vancouver, where Kennedy Construction expertly designed a retaining wall that integrates a stunning waterfall and koi pond. The unique features of this renovation not only enhance the aesthetics of the space but also address the practical needs of managing steep slopes and rugged terrain.

The design process involved careful planning and execution to ensure that the elements harmoniously blended with the natural landscape. By utilizing durable materials and innovative construction techniques, Kennedy Construction created a retreat that serves both functional and recreational purposes, making it an ideal outdoor living area for the homeowners.

Design Challenges and Solutions

Every renovation project comes with its own set of challenges, and this backyard was no exception. The steep slopes and limited space required creative solutions to maximize usability while maintaining safety and structural integrity.

To tackle these challenges, the team implemented a tiered retaining wall system that not only stabilized the terrain but also provided a beautiful backdrop for the waterfall and pond. The use of natural stone and native plants helped to seamlessly blend the construction with the existing landscape, creating a cohesive and inviting outdoor environment.
