Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of a retaining wall?
A retaining wall is designed to hold back soil and prevent erosion, especially on sloped or uneven ground. It helps create level areas for gardens, driveways or building structures. Retaining walls are also used to improve landscape design and provide structural support in both residential and commercial environments.
How long does a retaining wall last?
The lifespan of a retaining wall depends on the materials used and how well it’s constructed. Professionally built stone or concrete retaining walls can last 40 to 100 years with proper drainage. Regular inspections and maintenance, such as clearing debris and checking for movement, can help extend its longevity.
Which material should I choose?
The best material depends on the site conditions, budget and desired appearance. Options include concrete blocks, natural stone, timber and brick. Stone and concrete are ideal for durability and low maintenance, while timber may suit smaller projects. Material choice should also consider local climate and soil stability.
Do retaining walls need drainage?
Yes, retaining walls need proper drainage to prevent water pressure buildup behind the wall, which can cause structural failure. This is typically achieved using gravel backfill, perforated pipes and drainage outlets. Without adequate drainage, water accumulation can lead to cracks, shifting or even collapse of the retaining structure.
Is council approval required on the Gold Coast?
Council approval may be required for retaining walls on the Gold Coast depending on their height, location, and structural purpose. Generally, walls over one metre high, or those supporting significant loads, need formal engineering and council approval to comply with safety and zoning regulations. Proximity to boundaries, footings near neighbouring properties, and drainage considerations can also trigger approval requirements. It’s always best to check with the local council or consult experienced builders like us to navigate these requirements and ensure compliance before starting your project.
How long does construction take?
Timeframes vary based on wall length, height, material, site conditions and any required approvals. Small garden walls may take a few days, while larger engineered walls can take several weeks
