Why Choose Concrete Concepts for Retaining Walls Brisbane
Our Process
Site Assessment
We assess your terrain, soil conditions, and drainage requirements. For walls over 1m, we arrange structural engineering certification.
Excavation & Footings
The site is excavated to the correct depth, footings are poured, and drainage is installed behind the wall.
Wall Construction
Your retaining wall is built using your chosen material — poured concrete, concrete blocks, or timber sleepers — with proper reinforcement.
Backfill & Drainage
Agricultural drainage pipe and gravel are installed behind the wall, then backfilled and compacted to ensure long-term stability.

Retaining wall costs vary significantly based on height, length, material, and site access. As a rough guide, concrete retaining walls start from around $300-$500 per lineal metre. We provide free, detailed quotes for every project.
What type of retaining wall is best?
The best type depends on your specific situation. Concrete retaining walls are the strongest and most durable. Timber sleeper walls are cost-effective for lower walls. We'll recommend the best option during our free site inspection.
