Environmental Considerations
We aim for eco-friendly construction, using durable materials to reduce waste. Rock and stone walls offer a natural look, while concrete retaining walls last decades with little impact on the environment.
The design process for custom retaining walls involves close collaboration with clients to understand their vision.
Local Regulations
Building a retaining wall in Melbourne isn’t just about looks and strength – it must comply with local regulations and building codes to ensure safety and legal approval.
In Victoria, you may need a building permit if:
- The wall is over 1 metre high.
- It supports a driveway, structure, or building.
- It changes or impacts the natural flow of water.
- It is near a boundary and may affect neighbouring properties.
For some civil projects or large commercial projects, engineering certification is also required.
Your wall design must follow the Building Regulations 2018 (VIC) and relevant Australian Standards such as AS 4678 (Earth-Retaining Structures).
Our team ensures
- Council approvals are obtained where necessary.
- All work meets structural safety requirements.
- Drainage and backfill comply with standards to prevent erosion.
- No risk of damage to neighbouring properties or underground utilities.
If a retaining wall is built without the correct permits and later fails, you may be liable for costly repairs or fines. Custom retaining walls are designed to meet the unique needs of each landscape.
We take the stress out of this process by handling planning applications, engineering reports, and council paperwork for you.
Testimonials
DIY vs Hiring a Contractor
DIY retaining walls may seem cheaper, but without experience, you risk poor drainage, structural failure, and non-compliance with local regulations. Heavy materials like concrete sleepers need specialised tools.
DIY Pros:
- Potential cost savings on labour.
- Full control over the project pace.
DIY Cons:
- Lack of experience can lead to poor drainage, structural issues, or wall failure.
- You may still need permits and engineering plans.
- Heavy materials like concrete sleepers and steel posts require specialised tools and equipment.
Hiring a professional ensures your wall is safe, durable, and built to code saving you time, stress, and costly repairs later.
