Brisbane's hilly inner suburbs and sloped allotments make retaining walls one of the most common - and most important - landscaping projects in the city. Done well, a retaining wall solves an engineering problem and creates usable space. Done poorly, it fails.

Zones Landscaping Brisbane designs and builds retaining walls that are structurally sound, council-compliant and built to last in Queensland's conditions.

Functional and good-looking

A retaining wall doesn't have to look like a construction site. Whether you're after timber sleepers, concrete blocks, natural stone or rendered masonry, Zones will design a solution that works for your soil conditions, your slope and your aesthetic. Many of our retaining wall projects unlock otherwise unusable parts of a yard - creating tiered gardens, flat lawn areas, or level entertaining zones that weren't possible before.

When do you need a retaining wall?

• Your yard has a significant slope that limits how you can use the space
• Soil erosion is becoming a problem
• You want to create level garden beds or terracing
• You're building a driveway, pool or outdoor area on a sloped site
• An existing retaining wall is failing or needs replacing

Council requirements

Retaining walls over a certain height require council approval in Brisbane. Your Zones specialist will advise you on what's required for your specific project and handle the process as part of the build.
