Walls that hold the ground back for decades — not until the next wet winter.
A retaining wall is a structural element, not a garden feature. It is holding tonnes of saturated soil, and when it fails it fails all at once. We build every wall around three things: footing depth, post strength and drainage behind the face.
We use galvanised steel H-posts set in concrete footings sized to the wall height, concrete sleepers or treated hardwood, and a drainage layer with an agg line running to a legal discharge point.
Every quote is itemised — materials, excavation, footings, drainage and gates listed line by line, so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
Generally walls under one metre and clear of boundaries and easements don't need a permit, but councils differ. Anything over a metre, near a boundary or carrying a surcharge usually needs engineering and approval. We tell you where you stand at the site visit.
Almost always drainage or footings. Water builds pressure behind the wall with nowhere to go, or the footings were dug too shallow to resist the load. Both are hidden once the job is finished, which is why cheap walls look fine for two years.
