Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long do retaining walls typically last?

    The lifespan of a retaining wall depends on its materials, construction quality and environmental conditions. Timber walls may last 15–25 years with proper care, while concrete, brick or stone walls can exceed 50 years. Factors like drainage, soil type and ongoing maintenance also affect durability. Choosing the right material and ensuring proper installation go a long way in extending a wall’s life.

  • Are retaining walls considered structural work?

    In most cases, yes — retaining walls are considered structural, especially when they exceed a certain height or support additional loads. Because they hold back soil and sometimes protect structures, they must comply with local building codes. Structural retaining walls often require professional design, permits, and engineering input. Always check with your local council to understand what’s legally required.

  • What materials are commonly used for residential retaining walls?

    Common options include timber sleepers, concrete blocks, stone, brick and poured concrete. Timber is cost-effective and suits lower walls but may require more upkeep. Concrete blocks and poured concrete offer strength and versatility for taller or more complex builds. Natural stone and brick provide a premium look, often chosen for their aesthetic appeal and durability.
