Retaining Walls

A retaining wall holds back soil and turns an awkward slope into level, usable garden. Done properly it needs a solid footing and drainage behind it so water pressure cannot build up and push it over, and that is exactly how we build them, in brick, block or natural stone to match the rest of your garden.

  • Excavation and a solid concrete footing
  • Brick, block or stone construction to suit the garden
  • Drainage behind the wall to relieve water pressure
  • Coping and finishing to match your scheme
  • Backfill, levelling and clear-up

FAQs

Retaining Walls questions

Why do retaining walls need drainage?

Water building up behind a wall is what pushes it over. We build in drainage so the water has a route away and the wall stays put.

What are retaining walls built from?

We build them in brick, concrete block or natural stone, chosen to match your garden and to suit the height and load.

Do retaining walls need footings?

They do. A solid concrete footing sized for the wall is what stops it leaning or cracking over time.

Can you create level areas on a slope?

Yes. Retaining walls and steps together turn a slope into terraced, usable space. We will design the levels for you.
