If you’re not sure which type you need, that’s normal. Most people just know the yard is sloped or the site needs to be retained. Send through photos, your suburb, and any plans you have, and we’ll tell you what makes sense.
Block retaining walls
A block retaining wall is a common choice because it’s strong, practical, and works on a lot of sites, especially if it will be rendered later. It suits sloping yards, split level areas, boundary lines, garden landscaping, and builds where retaining wall blockwork is part of the plan. Set out matters, if the base is off, you see it straight away, so we get the lines right early for a clean finish.
Brick and masonry retaining walls
Brick retaining walls and masonry retaining walls are usually picked when the look matters or you want it to match existing brickwork. They suit front yards, tidy garden walls, and walls that double as a feature edge or boundary. The details show with brickwork, so we keep joints clean and the finish neat.
Structural and engineered retaining walls
Some walls are straightforward, others need to follow plans and handle height or loads, that’s where structural and engineered retaining walls come in. We build to the drawings provided, focus on accuracy from the start, and flag anything on site that does not match the plan early. Reinforced retaining walls sit in this category when reinforcement is specified.
Retaining wall drainage and site considerations
Most retaining wall issues come back to water and ground movement, so the basics need to be right. We look at water flow, whether retaining wall drainage is required, access for materials, how the wall ties into levels and landscaping, and whether a stepped retaining wall makes more sense. If you have a builder, landscaper, or excavator involved, we work in with them, if not, we keep it clear so you know what happens next.
