Retaining Wall Blocks & Garden Edge Blocks

Depending on the size and design of your retaining wall, they can be built yourself. We recommend concrete retaining wall blocks which are interlocking and the weight of blocks are easier to handle. Proper preparation is key and it’s important to take your time when building your wall. Before starting your project, we recommend speaking with one of our expert staff who can help talk your through your project. Over time, even the best retaining walls can begin to show signs of wear and tear due to environmental factors or structural shifting.
We use only the best quality materials and equipment to ensure that your retaining wall is built to last. Crib Retaining Walls are a construction method which combines interlocking concrete or wood beams which are then filled with stone. This provides a large gravity wall which is free draining and quite often used on large commercial lawn adelaide projects and along roads. Masonry Retaining Walls are used for strength, can be built to high heights and can hold structures on top as they are very strong. Masonry Retaining Walls have more solid construction than a concrete sleeper wall.

Whether you’re after a shaded area for relaxing or secure, weather-resistant vehicle storage, our projects showcase innovative designs tailored to Adelaide  homes. With an extensive range of different materials to choose from, you are sure to find an option that suits your style and budget. In addition to the various material types, you can also choose between the different methods of construction. For example, many people choose the stone and mortar wall because it is most traditional. However, there is also the dry stack wall that is chosen for people that are looking for a more versatile option that can be moved.
