Retaining Walls
A retaining wall is a fencing structure designed and built to resist the sidewards pressure of soil. Commonly used when there is a need to change the ground elevation, a retaining wall will prevent land from falling away and potentially injuring people or damaging property. Retaining walls are also useful to limit erosion and be employed to create beautifully tiered garden walls for growing both plants and veggies!
All Fencescape Fencing retaining walls are constructed with the highest quality materials and are designed to ensure proper subsoil drainage. It is extremely important to enable water to drain away behind the wall to ensure it’s longevity and effectiveness.
Retaining walls are generally constructed with timber or masonry (or concrete) blocks. A concrete retaining wall is very durable and not prone to rot. Timber retaining walls are constructed with either treated pine or hardwood timber sleepers.
A retaining wall can be built up to one (1) metre high before requiring engineer’s drawings. Once the design has been completed by the engineer, our experienced team can build it to the specifications supplied.

Retaining Wall Fencing FAQ’s
Council approval requirements depend on the height, location, and purpose of the retaining wall. Retaining walls over 1 metre heights, or walls supporting additional loads such as fencing, may require engineering design and approval. It’s best to check local council requirements before construction.
The lifespan of a retaining wall depends on the materials used, drainage design, and installation. Properly built retaining walls using quality materials can last for many years with minimal maintenance.
Yes. Retaining walls are commonly used on sloping blocks to stabilise soil and create usable, level outdoor spaces. Designs are tailored to suit the slope and layout of the property.
Yes. Proper drainage is critical for retaining wall performance. Drainage systems help reduce water pressure behind the wall, preventing movement or failure over time.
Retaining walls can be constructed using timber sleepers, concrete blocks, concrete sleepers, masonry, stone, or gabion systems. The best material depends on wall height, soil conditions, drainage requirements, and the desired appearance.
The cost of a retaining wall depends on factors such as wall height and length, material choice, site access, drainage requirements, and whether engineering is required.
Again, installation time varies depending on wall size, materials, site conditions, and weather. Smaller retaining walls can often be completed quickly, while larger or engineered walls may take longer.

In many cases, yes. However, retaining walls that support fencing often require additional engineering to handle the extra load. This will be considered during the design stage.
