Using stone and boulders of all sizes and shapes, concrete, concrete blocks, natural rock, concrete sleepers, steel beams, steel h beams, stone blocks and a range of materials, retaining walls are diverse.

Retaining walls can be retaining rock walls or more commercial looking concrete walls, they can be straight, curved, vertical, used as a wall, disguised as a garden bed, natural looking, residential features in housing developments, the design possibilities are endless. Every construction company in Melbourne would have built a residential retaining wall at some stage. Retaining walls can be used to take the pressure off a house block or to split the level so a concrete slab can be poured.

The primary function of these walls is to strengthen a slope, to retain the earth on a steep slope, to cut a lower level, to reinforce a site cut so that a split level can be created, often for residential projects but also for large developments.
