Retaining Wall Landscaping for Northern Melbourne
Natural landscape features are wonderful and can give your property immense character, but they can also present challenges. Slopes, risks of soil erosion, and poor drainage can all undermine your space’s longevity, beauty, and functionality, retaining walls are the powerful solution.
A professionally built wall brings reassuring strength, structure, and design impact to your gardens and paved walkways. At Contemporary Landscapes and Maintenance, we help homeowners regain control of their outdoor areas, delivering innovative retaining walls with materials that suit your property, style, and budget.
Why You Should Consider a Retaining Wall
At Contemporary Landscapes, some of our clients call us with a detailed vision of the look, size, and structure of their retaining wall. Others, well, they just know they need to ‘hold the land back’. As experienced retaining wall contractors and landscapers, we’re here to help, whatever your circumstances.
When your wall is created with care, heart, and millimetre-perfect precision, your property and its outdoor areas receive immense benefits, in appearance, safety, lifestyle, and value.
A Retaining Wall Installation Can Deliver the Advantages Of:
Increasing functionality
A retaining wall can reveal more usable space, including raised beds and terraces.
Preventing soil erosion
Ensuring that during rain or storms, soil isn’t washed away.
Improving drainage
A pro-installed wall can direct water away from your home, helping to protect its structure from water ingress.
Creating feature areas
Retaining walls can become focal points, framing for gardens, decking, and pools … or simply be attractive bordering.
Heightening home value
A wall that looks incredible, improves drainage, prevents erosion, and shows the property is well-maintained may add value.
Boosting safety
Through building flat, secure spaces, you’re lowering the risk of accidents caused by unstable or uneven land.
Fixing inherent issues
Sloping land, loose soil, poor drainage, or uneven contouring.
Making gardening easier
Raised beds and well-thought-out garden structures can ease the hard work involved in maintaining a garden.
Completing new builds
Many new homes are handed over with raw, uneven land or drop-offs. Our retaining walls finish off your new property, making it safe and liveable.
Our most popular retaining walls include:
Concrete Sleeper Retaining Wall
Usually chosen for their durability and strength, concrete sleepers offer clean lines and low maintenance. Often used on larger areas, or those that are load-bearing, we install these walls with galvanised steel posts for the ultimate in strength and longevity.
Concrete Retaining Wall Blocks
These interlocking retaining wall blocks provide installation simplicity combined with versatility. Available in various sizes, textures, colours, and rendering to suit your outdoor style, we use only premium materials from trusted suppliers such as Adbri Masonry.
Natural Stone and Rock Retaining Walls
Timeless, full of character, and highly individual, our retaining wall stones bring an unmatched soft and organic feel to outdoor spaces. Suited both to modern and traditional homes, we can also craft beautiful rockery gardens that work perfectly with the natural landscape.
Treated Pine Retainer Walls
A cost-effective way of building a retaining wall. These durable pine sleepers can be precisely stained to complement your exterior space, and installed with galvanised steel posts for unbeatable strength. Furthermore, they can be timber-capped or curved to meet your particular garden design requirements.
Engineered Retaining Walls
Sometimes walls must meet specific load-bearing or structural requirements. We can work alongside your engineer or build directly from their plans to bring the retaining walls to life. And reassuringly, ensure that they are as durable as they are compliant.
The Types of Retaining Walls We Create
