RETAINING WALL DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
Retaining Wall
Block, rendered and stone-clad retaining walls that hold back soil, level sloping areas and create raised garden beds.
Retaining Walls for Sloping and Uneven Blocks
A retaining wall needs to look good and do its job. We plan the wall height, footing and drainage for your site, then build and finish it to suit your garden.
See a completed example in our Turf & Garden Beds project.

Retaining Wall FAQs
Answers to common questions. If yours isn’t covered here, ask us when you enquire.
Do retaining walls need drainage?
Most do. Drainage behind the wall helps relieve water pressure. We’ll include what your site needs.
Do I need approval or engineering for a retaining wall?
It depends on the wall’s height and location. Taller walls and walls near boundaries or structures may need approval or engineering. Check with your local council or the NSW Planning Portal, and we’ll discuss it at the site visit.
Can a retaining wall also be a garden bed?
Yes. Many of our walls form raised garden beds that are planted once the wall is finished.
