How deep do column footings need to be?

In the Lower Mainland, footings typically need to be at least 450mm (18 inches) deep to get below the frost line. Larger columns or those supporting gates need deeper, wider footings. We size footings based on the column's height, load, and soil conditions.

Columns

Concrete Columns & Decorative Pillars

Concrete columns and pillars add weight and permanence to your property's entrance. We build driveway entry columns, fence gate pillars, mailbox posts, and decorative columns that anchor your landscape design. Every column is poured on a proper footing with rebar reinforcement and finished to match your existing hardscaping.
