Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions people ask when planning or installing retaining walls for residential, commercial or civil projects.
What type of retaining wall is best for my site?
The best type depends on your soil, slope, site access and project needs. Common options include concrete block, tilt panel, sandstone, rock and reinforced concrete.
An engineered wall design ensures the structure matches load requirements and complies with local regulations, especially for large or steep sites.
Do retaining walls need drainage?
Yes, retaining walls must have proper drainage to reduce pressure from water build-up behind the wall. Without drainage, walls can crack, shift or fail over time.
Most systems use gravel backfill, ag pipes and weep holes to safely direct water away from the structure and maintain long-term stability.
How high can a retaining wall be without engineering?
In many areas, any wall over 1 metre high requires engineering approval, though this can vary depending on local council rules.
Even for lower walls, it’s recommended to use professional advice if the wall supports a structure, driveway or steep slope. Always check local codes before starting construction.
