Retaining walls built straight and built to drain

Retaining walls hold back tonnes of earth, so the footing, backfill and drainage behind the wall matter as much as the face you see. We build limestone and concrete block walls for yard separation, driveways, pool surrounds, planters and erosion control across sandy southern suburbs blocks.

Questions

Good to know

01 Do retaining walls need council approval?

In most WA councils, walls retaining under half a metre generally do not need approval, and higher walls do. We will confirm the rules with your council for your specific job before we build.

02 Why do retaining walls fail?

Almost always poor drainage or no proper footing. Water builds up behind the wall and pushes it over. Every wall we build gets ag pipe drainage and compacted backfill so it stays where we put it.

03 Limestone or concrete blocks?

Limestone is the classic Perth look and very forgiving in sand. Concrete blocks give a sharper modern line. Both are strong when built right, so it usually comes down to the look you want and budget.
