Engineered retaining done right — timber, concrete and modular systems with proper drainage, tidy finishes and long-term performance.
Walls fail when drainage, footings or anchors are wrong. We handle excavations, base build-ups, falls, geogrid and backfill so your wall performs and looks sharp.
Choose the right system for your site and budget — timber, concrete, keystone/modular — with clean capping, straight lines and tidy tie-ins to paths, lawns and gardens.
