This post may give you some inspiration.What are some small retaining walls ideas?
Retaining walls are an excellent opportunity to flex your creative muscles. Depending on your goals, you could try a patchwork stone design or install some concrete sleepers. You could even go for rock retaining walls concealed by nature for a kind of 'secret garden' effect. There are many possibilities, and you can check out https://www.ambertiles.com.au/news/post/20-best-retaining-wall-designs-and-ideas for some suggestions.What sizes do retaining walls come in?
Generally speaking, retaining walls in NSW are never more than about 100cm tall. In terms of actual sizes, the majority of our blocks have a width of 500mm and varying heights and depths. You will need to have a think about the size you want for your retaining wall and order the appropriate number of blocks to make it a reality, so take measurements into account at all times.Who builds retaining walls?
If you have a professional landscaper working on your garden they may erect the walls themselves. They may bring in another contractor to do that work instead in some cases. But it is entirely possible to build a retaining wall as a DIY job with a little know-how, and our products are ideal for doing the work yourself. Whichever option is best for you.How do you waterproof retaining walls?
Retaining walls that do not form part of your property are less critical but still benefit from a retaining wall waterproofing membrane so that dampness from the ground does not end up ruining the aesthetic of the design. Waterproof membranes are affordable and can be bought separately, and they are simple to install when constructing your retaining wall. Be aware that weep holes are necessary to alleviate hydrostatic pressure as required - make sure you know what you are doing before building your wall.
