Structural Landscaping & Retaining Walls

Structural landscaping focuses on the construction of permanent outdoor features such as retaining walls, drainage systems, rock walls, site levelling and landscape construction that improve the function and appearance of a property.
Retaining walls are often used on sloping blocks to create level outdoor spaces, improve drainage and prevent soil erosion. The right solution will depend on your property’s layout and site conditions.
The best retaining wall depends on factors such as site conditions, budget and appearance. Common options include sandstone retaining walls, concrete sleeper retaining walls and timber retaining walls.
Retaining wall costs vary depending on the height, materials, site access and complexity of the project. We recommend arranging a site inspection to receive an accurate quote.
Yes. Proper drainage is essential to help manage water pressure behind the wall and support long-term performance.
