How it runs.
Assess
Height, soil, drainage and access, with engineering when the wall needs it.
Dig and footing
A level, compacted footing sized for the load behind it.
Build and drain
Wall up, ag drain and gravel behind it, weep holes through it.
Cap and backfill
Caps on, soil back, and a tidy bed ready for planting.
What good looks like.
A retaining wall is holding back tonnes of wet soil. The brick or block you see matters less than the footing and drainage you don’t.
Materials
Split-face and smooth block, face brick, sandstone and recycled stone. We will tell you which suits the height and the house.
Approvals
Walls over a certain height usually need engineering and sometimes approval. We will tell you before we quote, not after.
