Concrete Sleepers
Concrete sleeper retaining walls are widely used for walls up to 3m tall, making them a popular choice in Sydney due to their durability and longevity. Available in various colours and finishes, concrete sleepers enable homeowners to craft distinctive and vibrant designs for their retaining walls.
Block & Sandstone Walls
Sandstone block retaining walls offer a contemporary touch to landscape designs. Renowned for their durability and efficient construction process, these walls are a long-lasting investment. While they come at a higher cost compared to concrete sleeper retaining walls, a properly built sandstone block wall can stand the test of time. These walls are commonly constructed in areas where space is limited yet easily accessible.

What is a Retaining Wall?
Retaining walls serve as sturdy structures that provide support for land or soil on varying levels on opposite sides. They prove to be highly efficient in areas with uneven land elevations, transforming otherwise unusable spaces into functional areas and aiding in flood control.
Smaller retaining walls can double as garden beds, offering protection against soil erosion. Concrete and timber sleeper retaining walls are established by inserting structural posts deeply into the ground, followed by the placement of horizontal sleepers that hold the soil on one side.
Sandstone block retaining walls are built by stacking sandstone blocks in a tiered fashion. Prior to the installation of any retaining wall, factors such as drainage, reinforcement, and compaction need to be carefully assessed.

Yes. A typical retaining wall design includes for a slotted rigid PVC drainage pipe. This will be installed behind the retaining wall below a layer of free draining aggregate and geo-textile material. The diameter of the pipe will depend upon the size of the wall and the certified design.
-
Engineering approval and drawings are required for retaining walls over 1m in height. They are also required if you plan to build a retaining wall within 1.5m of another retaining wall or structure.
We can assist you with the engineering and design process by engaging our engineer to design the best retaining wall system for your project.
