Retaining Wall Building
A retaining wall supports ground at different levels, so the design, drainage and site conditions deserve careful assessment before any construction starts.
When to ask for help
- A slope is moving, a failed wall needs replacement, or a landscape project changes ground levels.
- You need to create a level outdoor area, driveway edge or garden terrace.
What to include in your job post
- Provide site photos from several angles, estimated height and length, and a sketch if you have one.
- Mention neighbouring land, drainage, utilities, access and any existing wall condition.
What can affect the scope
- Wall height, soil, drainage, engineering or consent requirements and access can materially affect the project.
- A tradie can explain what specialist design or approvals may be needed for the proposed work.
