Retaining walls help to stabilise and level your section and add more usable space
A sloping or uneven section can limit how you use your outdoor space and even pose safety risks. Our retaining wall solutions are designed to level and stabilise your land, making it safer for children, pets, and everyday activities.
Raised garden beds, terraced lawns, and defined planting areas are all possible with the right retaining wall design. By creating flat, usable areas, you can enjoy a larger lawn, build a patio, or simply have more room for entertaining.
Expert advice and a personalised approach every step of the way
As experienced retaining wall builders, we can guide you through the project from start to finish. Our team offer practical recommendations, and only suggest solutions that we know will work
We handle everything from design and material selection to construction and finishing touches. With our experience and commitment to quality, you can be sure your project is in safe hands.
The best retaining wall for your section depends on the slope, soil type, drainage needs, and the overall look you want to achieve. We assess your site and recommend the most suitable option, whether that’s keystone block for simplicity, timber for a natural finish, or concrete block for maximum strength.
Council consent is often required for walls above a certain height (commonly 1.5 metres) or when they’re supporting additional loads such as driveways or buildings. We can advise on local requirements in the Waikato and help ensure your project complies with all regulations.
Sloping or unstable ground can create risks such as erosion, slips, or uneven play areas for children and pets. Retaining walls stabilise the soil and create level, secure spaces that are safer to use for everyday activities. Beyond stabilising slopes, retaining walls can be used to create terraced lawns, raised vegetable or flower beds, feature seating areas, or defined planting zones. They’re a great way to add character and structure to your outdoor space.
Good drainage is essential for a long-lasting wall. Without it, water pressure can build up behind the structure, leading to cracks or failure. We incorporate proper drainage solutions, such as backfill materials and drainage pipes, to protect your investment.
A range of wall styles to suit your requirements
Keystone block walls
If you’re looking for a straightforward solution that doesn’t require council permits, keystone block walls are a popular choice. These walls can be built up to a certain height and the modular design allows for flexibility and quick installation, so you can enjoy your upgraded garden sooner. Their clean lines and modern look blend seamlessly with any garden style.
Timber walls
For those who prefer a more natural or classic look, our timber retaining walls are an excellent option. Timber brings warmth and character to your garden, making it perfect for relaxed, informal spaces or to complement existing wooden features. We use high-quality, treated timber to ensure longevity and strength, even in challenging conditions.
Concrete block walls
If you need maximum strength and a contemporary finish, concrete block walls, such as Allan block systems, are designed to handle heavier loads and taller structures. These walls are ideal for stabilising steep sections or creating substantial raised garden beds.
