Retaining Wall FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our cranes, services, and booking process.
Do I need council approval or an engineer for a retaining wall?
Walls over a certain height (usually around 600mm-1m depending on council) typically need engineering certification and approval — we can advise what applies to your specific wall.
How do you stop a retaining wall from failing over time?
Proper drainage behind the wall is the key factor because without it built-up water pressure is the most common cause of retaining wall failure. We build drainage and footings into every job.
Concrete vs block retaining walls — what's the difference?
Poured concrete walls suit larger structural retaining jobs, while block walls are often quicker and more cost-effective for smaller garden walls. We’ll recommend the right option for your site.
How long does a retaining wall take to build?
It depends on height and length, but most residential retaining walls take anywhere from a few days to two weeks including footings and drainage work.
