Retaining walls. Block, sleeper, sandstone.

Up to 1m without engineering. Built with drainage behind, finished clean at the top, and tied into whatever's stepping up to it.

What's included

The bit behind the wall matters as much as the wall.

Walls fail two ways. Water pressure builds up behind, or the base wasn't right. We dig it deep, drain it properly, and lay the base on compacted aggregate.

Block. Versa-Lok, Adbri, Tasman. Stacked, levelled, capped. Modern look, holds up to 1m straight-up.
Timber sleeper. Treated pine or hardwood. Galvanised channel posts concreted in. Tidy 200mm steps.
Concrete sleeper. Charcoal, woodgrain, plain. The "set and forget". Best for long stretches.
Sandstone block. Dry-stacked or mortared. Looks the part on heritage and bushland blocks.
Aggie line + filter cloth behind. Water has somewhere to go. Wall stays where it was put.
