Timber Retaining Walls
Timber retaining walls remain one of Auckland’s most popular retaining solutions due to their affordability, strength and natural appearance.
Constructed using quality treated timber and engineered to suit your site conditions, timber retaining walls are ideal for residential properties, gardens, sloping sections and outdoor landscaping projects.
Our retaining walls are built with proper drainage and structural support to maximise durability and minimise future maintenance.
Concrete Retaining Walls
Concrete retaining walls provide exceptional strength, durability and long-term performance.
Ideal for larger retaining projects, commercial developments and areas with significant soil pressure, concrete walls offer excellent structural integrity while requiring very little maintenance.
We construct reinforced concrete retaining walls designed to comply with New Zealand Building Code requirements and engineered specifications where required.
Site Preparation & Earthworks
Every successful retaining wall begins with proper preparation.
Before construction starts, we carefully assess the site, ground conditions and drainage requirements to ensure the retaining wall performs effectively for years to come.
Our services include:
- Site inspections
- Excavation
- Earthmoving
- Soil removal
- Foundation preparation
- Drainage installation
- Backfilling and compaction
By managing the entire process, we reduce delays and ensure every stage is completed to the highest standard.
Drainage & Structural Stability
Drainage is one of the most important elements of any retaining wall.
Without proper drainage, water pressure can build behind the wall, leading to movement, cracking or premature failure.
Our retaining wall systems incorporate appropriate drainage solutions to help reduce hydrostatic pressure and improve the long-term stability of the structure.
Where required, we also work with structural engineers to ensure your retaining wall complies with council and engineering requirements.
