YOUR PROPERTY MAY HAVE MORE POTENTIAL THAN IT LOOKS LIKE

SLOPED, UNEVEN, OR WASHED-OUT GROUND CAN LIMIT THE WAY YOU USE YOUR

SLOPED, UNEVEN, OR WASHED-OUT GROUND CAN LIMIT THE WAY
YOU USE YOUR
PROPERTY

A steep slope, eroding bank, unfinished property edge, or failing wall can make an otherwise valuable part of your property difficult to use and maintain.

You may be dealing with:

  • A slope that keeps washing out
  • Yard space that is too steep to enjoy
  • A driveway or path that needs support
  • An old retaining wall that is leaning or failing
  • An unfinished property edge
  • Drainage concerns
  • A need for more level landscaping space
  • A commercial or residential site that needs stronger grade separation

These problems rarely improve on their own.

Water, frost, soil pressure, and ground movement can continue to affect the area over time.

A properly planned retaining wall can help turn difficult ground into a stronger, more useful, and more attractive part of your property.

IMAGINE WHAT YOUR PROPERTY COULD BECOME

The right retaining wall can do much more than hold back soil.

It can help you:

  • Create flatter, more usable yard space
  • Support a driveway, walkway, or landscaped area
  • Define levels across a sloped property
  • Improve drainage and control erosion
  • Create a cleaner finished edge
  • Add natural character and curb appeal
  • Improve the function of an acreage or commercial site
  • Replace a failing or unattractive wall

Coalesce Investments helps property owners turn uneven and challenging terrain into strong, functional outdoor spaces that fit naturally with the surrounding property.

MEET FREDRICK

EXPERIENCE BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP

Coalesce Investments was founded by Fredrick after several years of hands-on retaining wall and landscaping experience.

Fredrick began working as a ground helper alongside his brother Kendal, owner of Westrim Contracting Ltd.

That role gave Fredrick the opportunity to learn every stage surrounding the wall—not only the final stacking.

​He gained practical experience with:

  • Site preparation
  • Excavation support
  • Base preparation
  • Drainage considerations
  • Material handling
  • Rock selection
  • Equipment coordination
  • Wall layout
  • Backfilling
  • Job-site organization
  • Careful rock placement

As his skill and experience developed, Fredrick moved into the main stacking role.

During the past year, he became the primary retaining wall and rock wall stacker for Westrim Contracting projects.

Today, Fredrick has started Coalesce Investments and is focused on stacking retaining walls full-time throughout the Kootenays.

When you contact Coalesce Investments, you are not dealing with a salesperson who disappears after the estimate.

​You are working directly with the owner and the person responsible for stacking your wall.

CHOOSE A RETAINING WALL THAT FITS YOUR PROPERTY

Every property is different.

The right wall depends on the slope, wall purpose, desired appearance, access, materials, and surrounding landscape.

Coalesce Investments offers four main wall styles so your project can be planned around both function and appearance.

SQUARE ROCK 
RETAINING WALLS

Square rock creates a structured natural-stone appearance with strong lines and more clearly defined faces.

It is a great option for property owners who want the strength and character of natural stone with a cleaner, more organized finished look.

​Square rock walls can work well for:

  • Residential landscaping
  • Driveway edges
  • Property entrances
  • Yard terraces
  • Garden areas
  • Acreage improvements
  • Commercial properties

Strong Finished Appearance • Natural Stone • ​Defined Lines

GRANITE RETAINING WALLS

Its rugged texture and natural colour variation make it a strong option for mountain properties, acreages, custom homes, entrances, and large landscape projects.

Granite walls can work well for:

  • Large slopes
  • Custom homes
  • Rural and mountain properties
  • Driveway support
  • Landscape features
  • Property entrances
  • Large residential or commercial projects

ROUND ROCK RETAINING WALLS

Round rock creates a softer and more rustic natural appearance.

It blends beautifully into wooded, rural, and mountain settings and can make a retaining wall feel like a natural part of the surrounding landscape.

Round rock walls can work well for:

  • Acreages
  • Rural properties
  • Natural landscapes
  • Garden areas
  • Rustic homes
  • Sloped yards
  • Outdoor gathering areas

Rustic Appearance • Natural Shape • Blends With the Landscape

FORMAROCK RETAINING WALLS

FormaRock is a newer retaining wall system developed by the Westrim crew after years of hands-on experience building rock walls and landscape projects.

It was created for property owners who want the bold, natural look of a rock wall with the more consistent size, shape, and layout of a precast wall system.

Unlike standard retaining wall blocks, FormaRock is designed to create a larger, more substantial wall face with a natural stone appearance. This makes it a strong option for projects where the wall needs to look clean, solid, and high-end while still fitting into a mountain, acreage, residential, or commercial property setting.

Because FormaRock has recently entered the market, it also gives property owners access to a wall style that is different from the common block walls seen everywhere else.

FormaRock can work well for:

  • Residential developments
  • Property entrances
  • Landscape features
  • Long retaining walls
  • Landscaping projects
  • Grade changes around homes or buildings

FormaRock was developed by the Westrim crew.
Coalesce offers FormaRock wall installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

DO YOU REPLACE OLD OR FAILING WALLS?
Old, damaged, leaning, or failing walls can be reviewed. The existing conditions must be assessed before the appropriate replacement solution can be recommended.
