Protects Ageing Structures Nearby
A new wall built to replace old, informal retaining removes the risk of a slow collapse taking a fence, garden bed or path with it, common where Griffith's original retaining has been left too long.
Durable, expertly-built retaining walls for Griffith's established blocks, gabion, timber, sandstone and concrete sleeper.
Griffith's blocks were mostly laid out and built decades ago, close to Lake Burley Griffin and the Manuka shops. A lot of the retaining that went in with those original homes is now well past its working life. Where units and newer builds have gone in on older blocks, retaining often needs replacing or extending to suit the new footprint.
We build retaining walls in gabion, timber, sandstone and concrete sleeper, matched to your block and the age of what's already there. Servicing Griffith and nearby Kingston, Narrabundah and Forrest. Contact our team today for advice and a free quote.

Terracing a sloped block with a retaining wall turns an awkward drop into level space for a garden, entertaining area or off-street parking, useful on Griffith's tighter, older blocks.
A properly built wall holds back soil so it doesn't gradually slump or wash out, protecting paths, garden beds and the footings of homes built close to the boundary.
Griffith's established gardens and older homes call for a builder who can work carefully around what's already there, not just start from a clean slate.
Where a wall's height or position triggers approval requirements, we walk you through what's needed so the project stays compliant from the start.
We work around established gardens, mature trees and existing structures without treating your block like a blank site, so nothing nearby gets damaged in the process.
You'll know what's happening on site and when, from the initial assessment through to the final clean up, with no surprises along the way.
Whether you're replacing retaining that's reached the end of its life or adding new terracing to an older block, we build walls that hold up on Griffith's established terrain. Gabion, timber, sandstone and concrete sleeper options are all available, matched to your block and your budget.
