RETAINING & GARDEN FEATURES
Retaining
Retaining walls are ideal if you are dealing with a sloping section, to contain an area of land which has been cut into, hold back soil that has moved over time or as a feature to create a gardening structure.
They can also be used as a feature to hide unsightly or unappealing
natural land or banks around your property.

Depending on the size, height & what if anything will be on the retaining wall will determine what structural posts & support you will need & fences can usually be incorporated within your retaining wall.
Allowances must also be made for drainage, sufficient compacted soil, footings etc before you begin.
Building permits are not required for retaining wall that are less than 1000mm in height above the natural ground surface & are not to be closer than 1000mm to a building or another retaining wall.
