Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is it to build a retaining wall?
Building a retaining wall is manageable for most people, especially when using concrete sleepers, which offer predictable sizing and strength. The main steps involve measuring the space correctly, digging post holes, placing galvanised posts, and sliding the sleepers into position. The most important part is preparing the base and ensuring proper drainage behind the wall, which reduces movement and pressure over time. With careful planning and the right materials, many homeowners complete their own walls confidently. If you are unsure, then it's best to get in touch with specialised tradies for installations.
Do retaining walls need council approval?
Council approval depends on the height and purpose of the wall. In many areas, small garden retaining walls under a certain height (usually around 600 mm) don’t require approval. Walls built to hold back soil, positioned near boundaries or supporting structures may require formal permits or engineering. It’s always worth checking local guidelines or contacting the local council to ensure your project meets safety and compliance requirements.
What materials are best for retaining walls?
Concrete sleepers are a popular choice because they’re durable, consistent and low-maintenance. They pair well with hot-dip galvanised steel posts, which help keep the wall stable over time. Many builders also add drainage gravel, pipework and geofabric to help water move away from the wall. These materials create a strong, reliable system that won’t be easily affected by moisture, soil movement or pests.
Straightforward Options
For Everyday Projects
Retaining walls work best when the materials are stable, predictable and suited to real-life conditions, especially when you’re dealing with changes in soil pressure, moisture and temperature. Concrete sleepers are a strong choice because they don’t warp, rot or break down over time. They sit securely in galvanised posts, making alignment easier and improving the overall stability of the wall. With different finishes and lengths available, you can match the look of your home, range from neat smooth styles to timber-look or sandstone patterns. These materials offer a clean, reliable base, whether you’re building a decorative feature or a functional garden wall, and need something sturdy enough to handle day-to-day weather.
