Retaining Walls Whangarei & Northland
Strong, Practical Retaining Walls for Slopes, Banks, and Raised Areas
We build retaining walls that suit the land and last the distance. Whether you’re dealing with a sloping site, building a raised garden, or shoring up a bank near a track or shed, we construct timber retaining walls that hold firm and look tidy.
From small landscaping walls to structural retaining for driveways and pads, we make sure your ground is supported and shaped right. Rural retaining has different demands – water flow, soil types, and vehicle use all matter more than a clean finish alone. We use treated timber posts and boards, driven deep and built tight, with proper drainage behind the wall to prevent pressure build-up or future movement. Whether it's a short garden wall or a long structural run, we build for function first and appearance second – and both come out tidy.
We also offer site prep, post ramming, and finish grading to tie your wall into the surrounding land.
We build and repair a range of retaining walls for rural and lifestyle uses:
Timber Retaining Walls – Standard post and rail systems for most rural needs
Raised Garden or Lawn Beds – Contain soil and define tidy areas near homes or sheds
Driveway & Track Retaining – Support sides of access tracks or gravel pads
Bank Stabilisation – Retain sloped areas prone to erosion or slumping
Step & Tiered Retaining – Multi-level walls for sloping sites or landscaping
Drainage Integration – Behind-wall drainage to manage water build-up
Backfilling & Grading – Tidy finishing work to blend the wall into your land
Repairs & Rebuilds – Replace rotten or leaning timber before it fails
We typically use H4/H5 treated timber and galvanised fixings to withstand Northland’s climate and soil conditions.
