Retaining Solutions That Work
Sloped yards can be tricky. Done wrong, retaining walls crack, lean, or fail within years. Done right, they transform unusable slopes into functional outdoor spaces and prevent erosion for decades.
Retaining Walls
What We Do.
Timber Sleeper Retaining
Treated pine sleepers or hardwood – natural look, cost-effective, works for most residential applications. We install drainage and ensure proper anchoring.
Block Retaining Walls
Concrete blocks and besser blocks – stronger than timber, longer-lasting, perfect for retaining walls up to 1 meter in height. We handle proper drainage and foundations to prevent wall failure.
Drainage Design
Every retaining wall needs proper drainage. We install ag pipes, drainage cells, and weep holes so water doesn’t build up and cause failure.
Why Our Retaining Walls Don't Fail
- Drainage First: Water buildup = wall failure. We design drainage into every wall.
- Proper Foundations: Deep trenches, compacted base, solid footings.
- Correct Materials: Right sleeper size, right block type, right reinforcement.
- Engineering When Needed: We don't guess on tall walls - we get engineers involved.
- Long-Term Thinking: We build walls that last 20+ years, not 5.
