- “The team did a fantastic job on our retaining wall — highly recommend.” Happy Client, Salisbury Heights
As your trusted Adelaide retaining experts, we understand that every property is different. That’s why we work closely with our clients to select the right quality materials, design layouts, and drainage solutions to suit each project. From smaller garden walls using durable wall blocks to large-scale engineered structures, we offer professional advice, honest quotes, and results that stand the test of time.
Types of Retaining Walls We Build Across Adelaide
At Beyond Retaining, we offer a variety of retaining wall solutions to suit your space, soil conditions, and the look you’re going for. Whether you need a functional wall to hold back a slope or something that adds visual impact to your yard, we’ve got the experience and know-how to build retaining walls that are both strong and visually appealing.
Concrete Sleeper Retaining Walls
Concrete sleepers are a popular and durable choice for retaining walls in Adelaide. Built to handle tough conditions and heavy loads, these walls are perfect for structural needs such as boundary walls or large-scale earth retention. With a range of colours and textured finishes available, concrete sleeper walls can also be customised to suit the style of your home. We install them with galvanised steel posts to ensure long-term stability and strength, especially on sloped or uneven ground. If you’re after something clean, modern, and low-maintenance, concrete sleepers are a smart choice.
Concrete Block Walls
Concrete blocks are ideal when you want your retaining wall to make a visual statement. These walls are often used in front yards, tiered gardens, and areas where curves, steps, or unique layouts are required. With a wide variety of block styles and finishes available, we can design a wall that not only retains soil but enhances the look of your outdoor space. Concrete block walls also offer excellent stability and can be rendered or left natural depending on the desired finish.

How We Build Walls That Last
We follow a proven process to ensure every wall is built right — with no shortcuts and no mess left behind.
1. Site Assessment & Quote
We visit your property to assess levels, access, and recommend the best retaining solution.
2. Excavation & Prep
We dig to required depths and prepare a stable base ready for posts and wall construction.
3. Wall Construction
Posts and panels are installed level and secure, with proper spacing and alignment.
4. Drainage & Backfill
Ag pipe, scoria, and filter fabric are added to manage water flow and protect the wall.
5. Clean-Up & Handover
We leave the site tidy, safe, and ready for fencing, landscaping, or further works.
Council Approval & Engineering
In South Australia, retaining walls over 1 metre high — or those built on a boundary — often require council approval and engineered design. We’re familiar with the process and can guide you through it, working with trusted engineers when required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle council approval?
Yes — we can guide you on when approval or engineering is required and help coordinate the process if your retaining wall needs sign-off. We’ve worked with local councils across Adelaide and know how to ensure everything is done by the book.
How long does it take to build a wall?
Most retaining walls take between 2 to 5 days, depending on the size, materials, and site access. We always give you a realistic timeframe before we begin, and we aim to complete jobs efficiently without compromising quality.
Do you do small retaining wall jobs?
Yes — we’re happy to quote on smaller jobs like garden tiers, raised beds, or front yard features. Whether it’s a minor section or a full boundary wall, we bring the same attention to detail to every project.
How much does a retaining wall cost?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The cost depends on a few key factors — wall height, length, materials, site conditions, drainage requirements, and whether council approval is involved. Rather than guess, we prefer to visit your site and provide a clear, tailored quote. That way you know exactly what’s involved and there are no surprises.
What Our Customers Say
We decided to renovate and remodel our entire backyard and chose Beyond Retraining to help us achieve this. We were so happy with our choice as Ricky and his team were great. They worked efficiently and hard from the get go and offered free advice when we decided to make a few changes along the way. These guys know their work inside and out. We are very happy with the finish product and we are getting them back to do new fencing for us.
