visible wall.
Every block is different. We discuss the practical details that determine the right scope for your retaining wall.

- Access for machinery and materials
- Ground conditions, post footings and drainage
- Nearby boundaries, structures and services
- Any project-specific engineering or approval requirements
BEFORE YOU BUILD
A few common
questions.
Have something specific in mind? We’re happy to talk through your project.
Do you build timber retaining walls?
We specialise exclusively in concrete sleeper retaining walls.
What size projects are a good fit?
Our focus is medium-sized residential installations and replacements, generally involving walls up to 1 metre high. Send your approximate dimensions so we can assess the project.
Do I need exact measurements to request a quote?
No. Start with your suburb, approximate wall length and height, a project description and a few site photos. We can discuss the details from there.
Is the warranty the same for every sleeper?
Our workmanship warranty is 7 years. The 20-year product warranty is subject to the applicable supplier and product terms. We use Outback Sleepers, Silvercrete and Retain the Earth.

Why Retaining Walls Fail
And How We Prevent It
Retaining walls usually fail because footings, drainage, or installation are rushed. We don’t build walls for appearance alone — we build them for structural performance and longevity. • Correct footing depth based on soil and wall height • Proper drainage systems behind the wall • Retaining wall systems matched to site conditions • Installation to best‑practice standards Result: A retaining wall that performs for decades, not just a few years.
Solutions for Sloping Blocks & Challenging Sites
Every site is different. Levels, fall, access, and boundaries all affect how a retaining wall should be built.
We assess your block and recommend the most practical and cost‑effective solution.
