FAQ
What is the purpose of a retaining wall?
A retaining wall is used to hold back soil and stabilise ground on sloped or uneven land. These walls are essential for preventing erosion, controlling drainage and creating level spaces that can be used for gardens, patios, driveways or structures. In residential settings, they also help protect the foundations of nearby buildings and improve the overall appearance of a yard or property. Beyond functionality, a well-built retaining wall can also add value and structure to your landscaping.
Do I need council approval for a retaining wall?
In many areas, retaining walls under a certain height — usually around 600 mm — can be built without council approval. However, walls higher than this, those near boundaries or roads, or any that may affect water flow or neighbouring properties typically require approval. Some councils may also ask for engineering documentation depending on the complexity of the job. It's always best to check with your local council to understand the specific regulations for your property before starting construction.
What materials are best for retaining walls?
The right material depends on your property’s layout, soil type, intended use and personal style. Timber is affordable and quick to install, making it a common choice for smaller projects, but it may require more upkeep over time. Concrete sleepers are durable, low-maintenance and great for larger or load-bearing walls. Natural stone or stone-look blocks can offer a more decorative finish but tend to be more expensive. Choosing the right material comes down to budget, visual goals and structural needs.
