Earthworks, site preparation and retaining — one team from start to finish.
Treated poles and rails sized to the height and load, with drainage coil and free-draining backfill behind the wall.
Water is what kills retaining walls. We install drainage behind every wall so pressure has somewhere to go.
A fence built directly above the wall, so the boundary reads as one clean line.
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.
