Fortress Retaining Walls and Landscapes Ltd.

Chris and the Fortress crew replaced a 50 x 6 foot wooden tie retaining wall at the rear of our yard, and at the same time built a longer wall adjacent to our property for our neighbor. This was a challenging job due to difficult access for the machinery, however it was done efficiently and we are very satisfied with the results. Fortress' price was in the middle of the three firms which quoted on the project, and we consider this to be good value for the quality and speed of the work done.

We had Fortress replace a failing retaining wall and fence. Chris, Lance and the crew were fantastic, they were totally professional, reliable and friendly. Their work was fastidious, with an attention to detail that's best described as 'perfectionist'. The job was started and finished on time, and stayed on budget. I would not hesitate to work with them again, and
have already recommended Fortress to friends and neighbours.

Chris was able to schedule our relatively small retaining wall project amongst his other larger projects, however we were treated as a valued, important client and received first class service throughout. His team arrived on time, communicated daily, acted respectfully of the neighbours, kept the job site immaculate and finished on time and on budget. The quality of the completed work and our experience with Fortress were both top notch. On top of it all Fortress was the most competitively priced of three quotes. Highly recommend!!

We first used Fortress to replace some window wells that had originally been built from wood and had subsequently rotted. Chris and his crew replaced the wood with stone, and integrated it perfectly into the existing pavers. We also had him replace some retaining walls. This year we had him replace our perimeter fencing as well as another retaining wall. We have been very impressed with Chris and his crew - they did a very high quality job and the final results look great.

Chris and his crew completed a full landscaping project on our new build which included retaining walls front and back, stairs and sidewalks, a parking pad, patio, lawn and all shrubs and trees. Chris was very engaged in the project and provided advice and readily answered all of my questions. He advised on placement and sizes of trees and shrubs which were all of high quality. His crew kept the job site very tidy and completed the work in a timely manner. His quote was transparent and there were no surprises in the final billing. Chris is clearly a very experienced landscape contractor and it showed in the great work he and his crew did for us.
