What we do

Built to hold, designed to look the part.

A retaining wall does two jobs at once: it has to hold back the ground for decades, and it has to look like it belongs in your garden. We build for both, with proper engineering and drainage behind the wall and a finish that suits the rest of the space.

Every wall is priced in a fixed written quote before any work starts and backed by a 12-month workmanship warranty. Where a wall needs engineering or council sign-off, we flag it at the site visit and handle the paperwork for you.

What's included

From cut slope to finished wall.

Sleeper walls

Treated timber and hardwood sleeper walls, a clean and cost-effective way to terrace a sloping yard.

Block walls

Reinforced besser and masonry block walls, rendered or capped, for height and serious load-holding.

Sandstone walls

Natural sandstone block and log walls for a premium, characterful finish that suits Sydney gardens.

Drainage

Ag drains, gravel backfill and weep holes done properly behind the wall, so water never builds up.

Engineering & approvals

Where height or load needs it, we arrange engineering and handle certifier liaison for you.

Steps & levels

Integrated steps and terracing so the new levels are usable, safe and easy to move between.

Materials & timeline.

We match the wall type to your slope, the load it needs to hold and the look you are after, and walk you through the options at the site visit.

  • Treated pine and hardwood sleepers for terracing and lower walls
  • Reinforced block and besser for height and heavier loads
  • Natural sandstone block and log for a premium garden finish
  • Engineered drainage and backfill behind every wall as standard
  • A clear build calendar with your written quote

Most retaining projects are completed within a few weeks of starting. You will get a realistic timeframe for your site in the written quote.

Questions we get

Before you book the site visit.

How much does a retaining wall cost?

Every slope is different, so we never throw out a random number. We come out, assess the site, and put a fixed written quote on paper within the week. The site visit and the quote are free. The easiest way to get a real figure is to book a visit or call us on 0480 845 544.

Do I need council approval or engineering?

It depends on the height and load. Where it is needed, we flag it at the site visit and arrange the engineering and certifier liaison for you. If you are not sure, give us a call and we will talk it through.

How long does a retaining wall take?

It depends on the size and access, and you will get a build calendar with your written quote. Most retaining projects are completed within a few weeks of starting. Call us and we will give you a realistic timeframe for your site.

Which areas do you service?

We work across the North Shore, the Hills, the Inner West, the Eastern Suburbs and Western Sydney. If you are not sure whether we reach your suburb, call 0480 845 544 and we will let you know.

Do I have to commit to anything to get a quote?

No. The call, the site visit and the written quote are all free and no-obligation. You only go ahead if the quote and the plan feel right to you.
