Retaining Walls Wellington

Designing Retaining Walls

We craft retaining walls with longevity, precision, and aesthetic intent at their core. Each structure is designed and built to best-practice standards, ensuring it not only supports your landscape but elevates the overall character of your outdoor environment. Whether your vision leans modern, natural, or timeless, we offer a range of construction methods to suit different styles, site conditions, and budgets—all executed with meticulous care.

During the design process, we undertake a comprehensive assessment of your site, including soil composition, drainage needs, and load requirements. This allows us to determine whether your project falls within Schedule 1 works or requires engineering oversight. For projects needing consents or specialist input, we can present tailored proposals from trusted local chartered engineers, or seamlessly manage the entire process on your behalf.

Timber Retaining Walls

Wellington’s unique terrain—its slopes, contours, and shifting soils—can make outdoor living and gardening a challenge. Timber retaining walls offer a beautifully practical solution, providing soil stability, managing water flow, and transforming uneven ground into functional, inviting spaces. Thoughtfully designed, they also help preserve access ways and protect the long-term usability of your property.

A timber post-and-beam system delivers an economical yet highly dependable retaining structure when built to best-practice standards. This approach is especially well-suited to sites with limited space or strong soil conditions. Over time, the timber naturally weathers and settles into its surroundings, creating a soft, organic aesthetic. For a more architectural finish, these walls can be painted, stained, or clad with other materials—allowing them to act as screening elements or sculptural features in their own right.
