Retaining Walls
Retaining work starts underground. Accurate excavation, correctly bored post holes and proper drainage behind the wall are what keep it straight and stable years later.
Suitable project types
- Sloping backyards and split-level sites
- Garden and planter walls
- Boundary level changes
- Driveway and path edges
Typical applications
- Excavation and batter cutting
- Post-hole augering to the wall line
- Base preparation and drainage trenching
- Backfilling and levelling behind the wall
Equipment used
- 1.7T Caterpillar excavator
- 450mm auger
- 450mm trench bucket
- 400mm ripper
What to prepare
- Confirm wall height, length and material
- Provide engineering details where required
- Note boundary and neighbour access needs
- Confirm where drainage will discharge
Access considerations
Wall lines are often against a boundary. We check working room behind and in front of the wall before committing to a method.

Frequently asked questions
Do walls need engineering?
Height, load and location determine that, and council requirements vary. We will tell you when a design or permit is likely to be needed.
Can you do excavation only?
Yes — many builders and landscapers use us for the excavation and post holes and build the wall themselves.
