Our Story
Australian Retaining Solutions is a dynamic business with a broad range of expertise throughout the civil engineering space. In the early years of business, we had been focused on a niche market within the civil infrastructure space targeting complex concrete structures for clients in the residential and commercial space. This evolved into diversifying skill and experience throughout the industry, undertaking on a principle and sub-contracting scale, and then expanding out to larger-scale civil contracting for governments, councils, and tier 1 builders. Now completing residential landscape & commercial landscape throughout Canberra & Southern NSW.
Our team of skilled designers, engineers and builders are passionate about creating unique and functional outdoor spaces that meet our clients' needs. We work closely with you every step of the way to ensure your vision becomes a reality.

Preliminary Scope Quotes for Retaining Walls
Every retaining wall site is different. Wall heights, access, drainage, soil conditions, and engineering requirements all affect the final cost.
Rather than providing generic per-metre pricing, we start with a Preliminary Scope Quote. This allows us to review your site details and provide a realistic indicative price range before proceeding to a site inspection.
-
A Preliminary Scope Quote is an early-stage assessment prepared using the photos, measurements, and information you provide. It includes:
Our understanding of the proposed retaining wall works
Key assumptions based on the available information
Important site considerations that may affect construction
An indicative price range to assist with budgeting
This approach gives you clarity upfront, without locking either party into a fixed price too early.
-
Photos and approximate measurements allow us to:
Better understand site access and levels
Identify potential drainage or construction constraints
Avoid misleading “ballpark” pricing
Provide a more accurate and reliable price range
The more detail provided, the more refined the indicative range can be.
-
