Retaining walls

Timber retaining walls that hold

Earthworks, site preparation and retaining — one team from start to finish.

Timber retaining

Treated poles and rails sized to the height and load, with drainage coil and free-draining backfill behind the wall.

Drainage & backfill

Water is what kills retaining walls. We install drainage behind every wall so pressure has somewhere to go.

Retaining plus fence

A fence built directly above the wall, so the boundary reads as one clean line.

Common questions

Do I need a building consent?

Generally walls over 1.5m, or walls carrying extra load above them, need consent.

How long will a timber wall last?

With the right treatment grade and proper drainage, decades. Skimping on drainage is what shortens a wall’s life, so we don’t.
