We Transform Your Property.
Daedalus Contracting is a hardscaping and outdoor construction company servicing BC's Lower Mainland. We build with block and stone — Allan Block and segmental retaining wall systems, paving stone patios, driveways, and walkways, garden walls and raised beds, stacked natural stone, artificial turf, and complete backyard renovations.
Our approach is simple: show up, communicate clearly, build it right, and charge a fair price. Every project starts with a free on-site consultation where we walk your site, discuss your vision, and give you a ballpark estimate based on what we see — so you know the range before committing to anything.
What separates a wall or patio that lasts from one that fails is underground: the excavation, the compacted base, and the drainage you never see again after the build. That's where our work starts on every project — and when a wall needs an engineer or a permit, we coordinate the drawings, the application, and the inspections as part of the job. Combined with professional procurement and project management, the result is outdoor spaces built to last.
Meet Carver
20 years in construction across five trades — rebar, steel, formwork, rigging, and crane operations. I've been on job sites since I was 15 and running crews as a foreman by 18.
That experience taught me how crews should be run — and now I'm building my own. Every Daedalus crew member is hired, trained, and held to our standards: proper base prep, compaction, and drainage on every single build. I handle your estimate, manage the materials, and stay involved from the first site walk to the final inspection — no handoffs, no telephone game.

What Sets Us Apart
IMBL Licensed
Licensed across four IMBL programs covering the Lower Mainland. Your project is covered.
No Surprises Pricing
Itemized contracts with clear payment milestones. You know what you're paying for at every stage — no hidden fees, no scope creep.
Engineered Wall & Paver Systems
Allan Block and segmental wall systems installed to manufacturer spec — compacted base, drain rock and pipe, geogrid where the design calls for it, and curves, stairs, and terraces most contractors won't attempt.
Bylaw Research
We research your municipality's specific bylaws, permit requirements, and setback rules before starting.
Our Own Trained Crew
No rotating subcontractors — Daedalus crews are hired and trained in-house on our build standards. The people on your property answer to the name on the estimate.
