Sloping Block Landscaping Sydney

In NSW, retaining walls over 1 metre in height generally require engineering and council approval. Walls closer to boundaries or supporting loads (like driveways) may also need engineering regardless of height. We can advise you on the specific requirements for your site.

Treated pine sleeper walls are generally the most affordable option upfront. Concrete sleeper walls are more expensive initially but offer greater longevity (rot-proof) and strength, making them better value over the long term.

Drainage is critical. We install agricultural (ag) pipes behind all retaining walls, backfilled with free-draining gravel. We may also install surface drains, pits, and channel drains to manage runoff and prevent water from pooling or causing erosion.

Yes, building a deck is often a great solution for steep slopes where earthworks would be too costly or difficult. We use extended posts and engineered footings to create a level platform above the slope.

Yes, we have our own excavation equipment including tight-access excavators and bobcats. We handle all cut and fill, soil removal, and site preparation as part of the project.
