Why stone retaining walls?
There are plenty of reasons people use a natural stone retaining wall over alternative options such as wood. The durability of stone means that it holds back all of the pressure from the higher level of ground while still being weather resistant.
Once installed, natural stone retaining walls require very little maintenance, as they are resistant to pests and weathering, so you know your retaining wall will last for years to come.
Stone retaining walls are also popular because of their good looks. It’s the perfect material for a better-looking garden. And because it comes in all shapes, sizes and colours, you'll find the stone for your retaining wall that complements your outdoor area.
Where beauty and functionality meet
Stone retaining walls are about combining beauty and functionality. Of course, you want your garden to be structurally sound and able to support your barbecues and parties, but you can’t completely sacrifice the look of your space for that. Working with our expert team helps you balance how your wall works with a look you’ve created yourself. You’ll have a structurally sound landscape that looks the way you planned from the start.

There are a number of reasons why you might need a retaining wall, including
Sloping yard: If your yard has a slope or a steep grade, a retaining wall may be necessary to prevent soil erosion and ensure the stability of the land.
Drainage problems: If you have issues with standing water or poor drainage on your property, a retaining wall may be needed to redirect water flow and prevent damage to your landscaping or home.
Cracks in the foundation: If you notice cracks in your home's foundation or basement walls, it could be a sign of soil movement or settlement, which may require a retaining wall to stabilise the ground.
Landscaping Issues: If you want to create different levels in your yard or create a terraced garden, a retaining wall can help you achieve this while providing structural support for your landscaping.
Safety concerns: If you have a steep slope or drop-off on your property that poses a safety hazard, a retaining wall can provide a barrier to prevent accidents.
