Retaining Walls Brisbane – Built for Slope Control, Safety & Style
Timber, Block & Concrete Retaining Wall Specialists
RJ Fencing designs and constructs durable retaining wall solutions tailored to Brisbane sites. We handle design, excavation, drainage and finishes so your outdoor areas become level, usable and secure. Choose from timber sleepers, block systems or concrete—each specified for local soil and runoff conditions and delivered with clear communication from start to finish.
Licensed & Insured
We build to Australian standards and supply documentation suitable for council assessment when required. Our focus is safety, drainage and long-term performance.
Local Experience
From small garden terraces to large boundary walls, our team has delivered consistent results across the city’s varied suburbs and soil profiles.
Quality Materials
We specify treated timber sleepers, engineered block systems and reinforced concrete options. Hardware and backfill are selected to resist corrosion and movement.
Types of Retaining Walls
Every property is different. We’ll recommend a wall type that suits your budget, site access and design goals while maintaining structural integrity and good drainage.
Timber Sleeper Retaining
Warm, natural and cost‑effective. We use treated sleepers with galvanized steel posts and properly graded backfill to control moisture and movement. Ideal for terracing sloped yards and creating planting zones.
- Fast installation and tidy finish
- Great for garden tiers and raised beds
- Optional capping and steps for a cohesive look
Block Systems
Interlocking blocks offer a premium architectural style with engineered stability. Perfect for front yards, feature walls and stepped layouts where presentation matters.
- Consistent colour and texture
- Curves and corners available
- Low‑maintenance finish
Concrete Retaining
Maximum durability and load capacity. We coordinate excavation, footings, reinforcement and finishes to match your landscape and expected loads.
- Long service life with minimal movement
- Engineered drainage to relieve pressure
- Ideal for driveways and boundary transitions
Eco‑Focused Options
Ask about recycled or eco‑sleeper choices for selected applications. Where suitable, these options reduce material impact without compromising stability.
Fence & Landscaping Integration
We align new walls with existing fencing and garden design. The result is a cohesive yard that improves privacy, safety and street appeal.
What We Do
Design & Planning
We assess levels, site access and soil conditions, then present clear options with scope and pricing. You’ll understand the trade‑offs between materials, height and finishes before we start.
Site Preparation
We manage set‑out, access and careful excavation to protect services and neighbouring structures. Our team maintains a tidy site and safe working areas.
Drainage & Backfill
Correct drainage is essential for the life of any wall. We use geotextile separation, compacted backfill and subsoil drains to reduce pressure and moisture buildup.
Finishes & Extras
Add steps, garden edging, lighting or seating to maximise usability. We can also coordinate simple planting schemes so the wall blends into the broader landscape.
End‑to‑End Management
From first call to handover, a dedicated project lead keeps you updated on scheduling, deliveries and progress so there are no surprises.
How It Works
1) On‑Site Visit
We measure, note levels and discuss how you use the space. Photos of problem areas help us plan effective solutions for stability and drainage.
2) Fixed‑Scope Quote
You’ll receive a transparent quote outlining inclusions, materials and timeline. We can offer alternatives so you can balance look, longevity and budget.
3) Build & Handover
Our crew completes the works, keeps access clear and leaves the site tidy. We walk you through care tips and provide warranty information.
Approvals & Documentation
Depending on height, proximity to boundaries and loads, council approval may be required. We can supply drawings and supporting information and coordinate with the relevant teams as needed.
Safety & Access
We plan access routes for materials and machinery, communicate with neighbours where necessary and follow safe‑work procedures throughout the project.
Recent Work
Here are examples of retaining solutions completed across Brisbane suburbs—front garden features, stepped backyard terraces and boundary walls that create level, usable areas.
Residential & Commercial
We deliver neat residential upgrades and robust commercial works. Regardless of scale, the same attention to detail applies: consistent set‑out, accurate levels and clean finishes.
Value for Property
Well‑designed walls protect soil, prevent slippage and reclaim space, which can improve utility and overall presentation of your property.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does a typical build take?
- Most small jobs take a few days once works commence. Larger projects that involve multiple tiers, access constraints or concrete works may take longer. We confirm timing during quoting.
- Which material should I choose?
- Timber suits natural garden settings and is budget‑friendly. Block systems provide a premium architectural finish. Concrete offers the greatest strength and longevity.
- Can you coordinate landscaping and fencing?
- Yes. We can align finishes with your existing fences and planting plan so the outcome looks intentional and cohesive.
- Do I need approval?
- It depends on wall height, loads and proximity to boundaries. We’ll advise early and can provide documents to support an application when required.
