Why Choose A Block Retaining Wall?
Block retaining walls provide high compressive strength, long service life and minimal maintenance in the Border climate of hot summers and frosty winters. Segmental concrete units and engineered stone blocks provide design flexibility.
They come in various colors, textures, and profiles. This makes them suitable for both modern buildings and traditional homes. They can curve, step or terrace to create level lawns, garden beds and seating areas, all while controlling erosion and managing site levels.

FAQ
-
A block retaining wall uses interlocking concrete or stone blocks. It holds back soil and manages level changes. This design helps prevent erosion and adds a nice architectural touch.
-
High quality concrete segmental blocks with interlocking lips or keys are popular for strength, versatility and ease of installation. Textured facing options improve aesthetics.
-
A common rule of thumb is footing or buried depth at roughly ten to fifteen percent of wall height, with a minimum compacted granular base of about 150 mm for low walls. Taller or reinforced walls require site specific engineering.
-
A level, compacted layer of crushed rock (road base or 20 mm minus) provides a stable, free draining foundation that limits settlement and movement.
-
Unreinforced DIY segmental walls are often limited to about one metre. Higher walls, walls carrying extra loads or near boundaries generally need engineering design and possibly council approval.
-
Yes. Clean aggregate backfill, geotextile separation, and perforated ag pipe help reduce hydrostatic pressure. They also stop saturation, which can lead to failure.
-
Well-built and drained block walls can last over fifty years. They need little maintenance, just occasional inspections and clearing outlets.
-
They manage erosion and create flat areas for use. They also offer many design options and last a long time. These features support tiered planting and increase value for homes and businesses.
