Retaining Walls

From structural boundary protection to feature rock armouring, we bring civil-grade engineering to your backyard. We own the quarries and the heavy fleet to deliver durable, high-performance retaining solutions that stand the test of time,

Experts in retaining walls

We offer a complete service, managing the project from excavation and site stability to the final aesthetic finish. We specialise in maximizing usable land on sloping sections with precision and scale.

Rock walls & armouring

We are the South Island specialists in structural rock walls, particularly across the Timaru and Mackenzie districts. We source premium armour rock directly from our own quarries, allowing us to select the perfect stone for both structural support and visual impact, creating natural, durable boundaries.

Engineered MSE & gabions

For difficult terrain, we utilise Mechanically Stabilised Earth (MSE) and Gabion basket systems. These engineered solutions use geogrids and quality hardfill to provide exceptional stability for steep slopes and subdivision platforms, ensuring your property is safe and compliant with council standards.

Timber & concrete

We design and build clean, space-efficient retaining solutions. From timber palisade walls for deep ground stabilisation to concrete block walls for modern driveways and courtyards, we manage the full package including drilling, piling, and drainage installation.

Sustainability & responsible waste management

We strive for a “cleaner tomorrow” by minimising waste bulk. Our specialised mechanical shredder allows us to recycle old concrete and asphalt from your existing driveway, crushing it for re-use as a structural sub-base on-site to reduce your project’s carbon footprint.

FAQ

Have questions about demolition? Here are the answers to the most common things clients want to know before work begins.

Do you handle the council consents and engineering?

Yes. We have the internal expertise to manage the engineering requirements and can coordinate with the council for necessary consents, particularly for walls over 1.5 metres or those supporting a driveway.

Do you supply your own rock?

Yes. We own quarries throughout the South Island. This allows us to source and supply specific sizes of armour rock, gabion stone, and backfill aggregates directly, ensuring quality and keeping costs down.

Can you fix a slipped bank or unstable ground?

Yes. We are experts in slope stabilisation. We use techniques like soil nailing, palisade walls, and extensive drainage systems to remediate slips and secure unstable land.

What areas do you service?

We have teams and machinery based in Timaru, Christchurch, Central Otago (Cromwell/Wanaka), and the West Coast, ready to tackle residential projects of any scale.

Do you handle the drainage behind the wall?

Absolutely. Proper drainage is critical for a retaining wall's lifespan. We install full subsoil drainage systems, filter fabrics, and free-draining granular backfill to prevent water pressure buildup.
