Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a retaining wall?
If your property has sloping land, unstable banks, erosion issues, or you want to create more usable outdoor space, a retaining wall may be the ideal solution. During our free site visit, we’ll assess your property and recommend the best option.
How high can I build a retaining wall?
The allowable height depends on your property’s conditions and local council requirements. Walls over certain heights or carrying additional loads may require engineering or building consent. We’ll advise you before work begins.
How long does the installation process typically take for a retaining wall?
Most residential retaining wall projects take between 2 and 5 days depending on the wall’s size, access, weather, and site conditions. Larger or more complex projects may take longer.
Can a retaining wall be built on the boundary?
Yes, in many cases retaining walls can be built on or near a boundary. However, property ownership, neighbouring land, drainage, and council regulations need to be considered before construction begins.
Do I need a building consent for a retaining wall?
Some retaining walls require building consent while others do not. Factors include wall height, surcharge loading, and site conditions. We can advise you and help determine whether consent is required.
Can retaining walls be built during the rainy season?
Yes. Most retaining wall construction can continue throughout the year, although prolonged heavy rain may affect excavation and ground conditions. We always plan work to ensure the best possible result.
How much is a retaining wall?
Every retaining wall project is different. Costs depend on the wall’s height, length, materials, site access, drainage requirements, and whether building consent is needed. We provide free, no-obligation quotes tailored to your project.
What materials can retaining walls be built from?
We specialise in timber retaining walls but can recommend the most suitable material depending on your property, budget, and design preferences.
Will my retaining wall include drainage?
Yes. Proper drainage is essential for the long-term performance of any retaining wall. Without adequate drainage, water can build up behind the wall, creating pressure that may cause movement or failure over time. Where required, we install a comprehensive drainage system, which may include free-draining metal (aggregate), perforated drainage pipes (Novaflo), geotextile filter fabric, and drainage outlets to safely direct water away from the wall. Every retaining wall is designed to suit your site’s conditions, ensuring it remains strong, stable, and built to last.
Can you replace an old retaining wall?
Absolutely. We regularly remove failing or damaged retaining walls and replace them with new, durable structures designed to last for many years.
