Our Retaining Wall Process

We follow a methodical approach to ensure your retaining wall is designed and constructed correctly for long-term structural integrity and appearance.

1

Initial Consultation & Site Assessment

We begin with a thorough on-site consultation to understand your requirements, assess the slope conditions, soil type, and drainage patterns of your property. During this visit, we discuss material options, design preferences, and any council approval considerations for your retaining wall project.

2

Design & Planning

Based on our assessment, we develop a detailed design for your retaining wall that addresses both aesthetic and structural requirements. For walls over 600mm in height, we can arrange professional engineering certification to ensure compliance with local regulations.

3

Council Approvals (if required)

If your retaining wall requires council approval, we assist with the preparation of necessary documentation, including site plans, structural details, and drainage specifications to streamline the approval process with your local Inner West council.

Site Preparation & Foundation Work

Once designs are finalised and approvals secured, we prepare the site by excavating to the correct depth, establishing a solid base, and installing appropriate drainage systems to ensure the long-term stability of your retaining wall.

5

Wall Construction

Our skilled team constructs your retaining wall with precision and attention to detail, using high-quality materials and proven construction techniques. We incorporate proper drainage, geotextile fabrics, and backfill to ensure structural integrity.

6

Finishing & Landscaping

After completing the structural elements, we add finishing touches such as caps, topsoil, and basic landscaping to integrate your new retaining wall seamlessly into your garden. We ensure the area is clean and ready for you to enjoy or for additional landscaping.

What Our Clients Say

Client Testimonials

Hear what our customers have to say about our professional landscaping services across Sydney's Inner West

Our sloping Balmain property presented significant challenges, but Outdoor Blitz transformed it with a beautiful three-tiered sandstone retaining wall system. Their attention to detail with drainage solutions and structural integrity was exceptional. The team worked seamlessly around access challenges in our narrow street and the finished result complements our heritage home perfectly. Six months on and everything is still perfectly level despite heavy rain. They've created usable garden spaces where we previously just had an unsafe, steep slope.

Mark Jenkins

Balmain

Outdoor Blitz constructed a substantial concrete block retaining wall along our property boundary to address serious erosion issues. From the initial consultation through to completion, the team was professional, knowledgeable and efficient. They coordinated with engineers for certification and handled all council approval requirements seamlessly. The wall has completely resolved our erosion problems, and they integrated drainage solutions that have performed brilliantly through several heavy rain events. The team was tidy, respectful, and clearly took pride in their craftsmanship.

Sarah and Tom Williams

Drummoyne

We hired Outdoor Blitz to create terraced garden beds on our sloping Leichhardt property using timber retaining walls. The transformation was remarkable - turning an awkward, unusable slope into beautiful, accessible garden spaces. Their team suggested design improvements we hadn't considered that maximised our usable space. The construction quality was excellent, with careful attention to drainage and structural details. The crew was professional, cleaned up thoroughly each day, and completed the project ahead of schedule. Two years later, the walls are still perfectly straight with no signs of movement or deterioration.

Michelle Chen

Leichhardt

After getting three quotes for our complex retaining wall project, we chose Outdoor Blitz because of their comprehensive approach to drainage and structural concerns. They constructed a combination of sandstone and concrete sleeper retaining walls to address different areas of our sloping Five Dock property. Their expertise was evident in how they handled challenging aspects like corner construction and integrating stairs into the design. The team was reliable, communicative, and their attention to finish details was impressive. The walls have transformed both the functionality and appearance of our outdoor space.
