Built by hand, in Calgary, since 2001.

Twenty-five years of retaining walls, ponds, waterfalls, and excavation, built in natural stone for some of Calgary's finest properties.

Phat Construction started in 2001 with one idea: build stonework the way it is supposed to be built, and let the work bring the next job. Twenty-five years later, that is still how we run.

We keep a small, steady crew and our own equipment, because the people setting your wall matter as much as the rock. The crew that digs your site is the crew that sets the last stone. One company, accountable from the base you can't see to the face you can.

Most of our work still comes by referral. One wall leads to a neighbour's pond, which leads to a friend's waterfall. That only happens when every job is built to last, so that is the only way we build.

We will not be the cheapest quote in your inbox. What you get instead is stone set right the first time, drainage you will never have to think about, and a wall, pond, or waterfall that looks and works exactly as it should after a decade of Alberta winters.
