All Green Gardening & Landscaping (Structural Landscaping Licence 353827C)
If you need a retaining wall that looks sharp, manages water properly, and stays stable over time, start with a site check and a clear scope. We build retaining walls across Sydney with a focus on drainage, foundations, and the right materials for your block—so you get a practical structure that suits your landscape and your budget.
Not for you if… you’re chasing the cheapest possible wall with no drainage planning, or you want a quick cosmetic fix for a wall that’s already structurally failing.
When you book our Weeding Services, you get more than someone yanking a few visible weeds. The goal is a garden that looks tidy now and stays manageable. Typical inclusions (tailored to your garden):
If you’re comparing options, it can help to see what different finishes look like in real homes—have a look at See retaining wall photos for examples.
Some projects also suit a timber sleeper look. If that’s your style, we’ll walk you through Timber sleeper wall options and whether they’re appropriate for your site conditions.
A retaining wall is often chosen because it unlocks space—turning a slope into a level lawn, a usable courtyard, or structured garden beds. You’ll likely be a good fit for our Retaining Walls Services in Sydney if you:
If you’re still unsure whether you need a new wall or repairs, we can help you decide. (In many cases, repairing early saves you from a larger rebuild later.)
People don’t always plan a retaining wall project—often it becomes urgent after movement or water issues show up. If you notice any of the following, it’s worth getting an assessment from Retaining Wall Contractors before the problem worsens:
If your current wall is already failing, a repair-first approach may be possible depending on what’s happening behind it. We cover this in our dedicated service page for Retaining wall repairs.
A key point many homeowners miss: wall movement isn’t always a “bad build”—it can be water pressure and drainage over time. That’s why we treat drainage as a core part of every scope, not an optional extra.
Every site is different, but a consistent process keeps your project predictable. Here’s how we deliver Retaining Walls Services in Sydney—from the first conversation to handover.
Site visit + requirements check
We’ll inspect access, levels, existing structures, and how water behaves on your block. If you’re ready to start, Book a site visit and we’ll lock in a time that suits (including after-hours where needed).
Design approach + material selection
We’ll recommend a solution that fits your yard and use-case—whether you want clean modern lines, a natural stone look, or a practical sleeper wall for a garden level change.
Approvals and engineering (when required)
Council approval requirements depend on height, location, boundary impacts, and other site factors. NSW provides guidance on exempt development for earthworks and retaining walls, and where approval may be required. For certain earth-retaining structures associated with building work, the NCC references design and construction in accordance with AS 4678. (We’ll guide you on what typically applies to your situation—this is general information, not legal advice.)
Site prep + base construction
Good walls start below ground. We prepare the base, ensure levels are correct, and set the foundation up to support the wall’s loads.
Drainage + backfill setup
If your garden is a chronic regrowth case, a maintenance cadence is usually cheaper than constant “start from scratch” clean-ups.
Drainage is often the difference between a wall that stays put and one that starts moving. If you’d like the “why” behind it, here’s a helpful explainer on How drainage affects retaining walls.
Build + finish + clean handover
We complete the wall, tidy the site, and walk you through what was done so you know how to look after it.
We provide Retaining Walls Services in Sydney across Sydney Wide, with scheduling based on access, scope, and current workload. After-hours site visits can be arranged when needed (especially if you’re coordinating access or working around tenants).
Because wall design is highly site-dependent, the fastest way to confirm timing is a quick inspection and quote.
Not all retaining walls are the same, and not all quotes include the same fundamentals. When comparing Retaining Wall Contractors, here’s what to look for so you can choose confidently.
Ask what’s happening with drainage
Confirm what’s included below ground
Check licensing and accountability
Understand material trade-offs
Make sure the quote matches the job

If you want to understand the “rules of the road” around products and responsibilities in NSW/Australia, these are solid references:
It depends on factors like height, location (especially near boundaries), and how the wall may affect drainage and neighbouring properties. NSW provides guidance on exempt development for retaining walls and related earthworks, but your specific site may still require approvals.
Engineering is typically considered when wall height, loads, site conditions, or proximity to structures make the design more complex. The NCC references design and construction in accordance with AS 4678 for certain earth-retaining structures associated with building work.
We can scope walls in common options like timber sleepers, concrete sleepers, concrete blocks, and selected stone-style finishes depending on the site. The best material depends on slope, soil, drainage requirements, access, and the look you want.
Most projects are staged: site visit and scope first, then scheduling for prep and construction. Smaller garden walls can be quicker, while boundary or multi-tier builds usually take longer due to drainage, access, and compliance steps.
Height, length, site access, excavation requirements, drainage complexity, and material choice are the main drivers. That’s why we provide a fixed quote after an on-site assessment rather than guessing from photos.
Yes—retaining walls can be a strong design feature, not just a functional structure. We’ll recommend finishes and levels that suit your home, garden, and how you want to use the space.
Yes. In many cases, early intervention can prevent a full rebuild, but it depends on what’s causing movement. We’ll assess whether a repair is suitable or whether a rebuild is the safer long-term option.
Poor drainage, inadequate foundations, weak backfill, and unexpected loads are frequent causes. Water pressure behind the wall is one of the most common issues, which is why drainage planning is central to our build method.
A well-built wall can reduce erosion and help manage runoff by controlling soil movement and directing water appropriately. The outcome depends on your site’s existing drainage patterns, which we check during the inspection.
Yes, we can cater for after-hours site visits where needed. It’s a good option if you’re working around work schedules, access constraints, or tenant arrangements.
When you’re hiring Retaining Wall Contractors, reliability is about more than showing up. It’s about doing the fundamentals well and communicating clearly so you know what you’re paying for.
If you’re also planning a broader outdoor upgrade, you can explore our Landscaping projects to see how retaining walls can integrate with the rest of the yard.
If you want a retaining wall that’s built for your block—not a one-size-fits-all approach—let’s start with a site visit and a clear plan.
We’ll assess levels, drainage, access, and material options, then provide a fixed quote based on what your property actually needs.
