Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need a retaining wall?
Retaining walls are used to hold back soil and create level areas on sloping sites. You may need a retaining wall to create a flat lawn, a patio area, a driveway, or to prevent soil erosion.
What materials can be used for retaining walls?
We build retaining walls from a variety of materials, including timber, concrete blocks, and natural stone. The best material for your wall will depend on the height of the wall, the soil conditions, and your aesthetic preferences. You can see examples in our work portfolio.
Do I need a building consent for a retaining wall?
A building consent is typically required for retaining walls that are higher than 1.5 metres, or for walls that are supporting a load (such as a driveway or building). We can advise on the specific requirements for your project and manage the consent process for you.
How much does a retaining wall cost?
The cost of a retaining wall is determined by its height, length, the materials used, and the complexity of the site. We can provide a comprehensive quote after a site visit and consultation.
How do you ensure a retaining wall is strong and durable?
We build all our retaining walls to the highest engineering standards. This includes ensuring they have proper drainage, a solid foundation, and are constructed from high-quality materials. For larger walls, we work with structural engineers to ensure their stability and longevity.
Can a retaining wall be decorative as well as functional?
Yes, retaining walls can be a beautiful feature in your landscape. We can design a wall that not only serves its purpose but also enhances the overall look of your garden. We can incorporate features like built-in seating, planting pockets, and lighting.
How long does it take to build a retaining wall?
The construction time for a retaining wall depends on its size and the site conditions. We will give you a clear timeline for your project as part of our proposal.
Can you build a retaining wall on a difficult-to-access site?
