Retaining Walls
At SK Civil & Landscaping, we build retaining walls that hold back sloped and uneven ground safely, and look good doing it. From timber sleeper walls for garden beds and terracing to larger engineered walls for driveways, building platforms and boundary cuts, we handle the design, drainage and construction so your section stays stable through Canterbury's wet winters and dry summers.
Our services cover timber sleeper walls, larger engineered retaining walls, drainage, and terracing for sloped sections.
An unsupported bank or a wall that's not engineered for the load can fail - and on Canterbury's clay and sloped sections, that's a real risk. We design and build to suit the height, ground conditions and drainage needs of your site, using treated timber sleepers for smaller garden walls and engineered solutions with proper footings and drainage for taller or load-bearing walls. Every wall is built to hold, not just to look tidy on the day.
Our Retaining Wall Services
Timber Sleeper Walls: Treated timber retaining walls for garden beds, terracing, and smaller level changes around the section.
Engineered Retaining Walls: Larger walls for driveways, building platforms, and boundary cuts, designed and built with proper footings for the load they carry.
Drainage & Backfill: Correct drainage behind every wall so water pressure doesn't build up and push the wall out over time.
Terracing & Level Changes: Turning a steep or awkward slope into usable, level garden and lawn space.
