Experts in retaining walls
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.
