Retaining Walls
The advantages of a solid, well-constructed retaining wall cannot be understated.
Whether you need a timber retaining wall for slope management, to create space, or simply for its aesthetic appeal, a retaining wall can be a very useful addition to any property.
At Ground Force, we are experienced timber retaining wall builders, and have vast experience in building timber retaining walls, big and small, all over the Wellington region.
Why Would I Need a Retaining Wall?
Prevent Soil Erosion
One of the primary functions of a retaining wall is to prevent soil erosion. If your property is on a slope, rainwater can wash away topsoil, leading to landscape damage and increased maintenance costs. Awell-designed retaining wall will hold back soil and keep your yard intact.
Create Usable Space
Retaining walls allow you to transform sloped areas into flat, usable spaces. Whether you’re looking to expand your garden, create a patio, or build a play area for the kids, a retaining wall can provide the perfect foundation for your vision.
Improve Drainage
A properly constructed retaining wall can aid in effective drainage. It can redirect water away from your home’s foundation, reducing the risk of flooding and water damage. Our team can incorporate drainage solutions into your wall design to ensure optimal performance.
Enhance Aesthetic Appeal
Retaining walls can be both functional and beautiful. With various materials and designs available, you can enhance the visual appeal of your landscape. A well-placed retaining wall can serve as a focal point, adding value and style to your property.
Increase Property Value
Investing in a retaining wall can boost your property’s value. Potential buyers often appreciate the benefits of a well-structured landscape, including the added functionality and aesthetic enhancements a retaining wall provides.
Provide Structural Support
If you have a steep slope, a retaining wall is crucial for providing structural support. It can prevent landslides and ground shifts that could compromise your property’s safety. Our team is skilled in assessing your land’s needs to ensure long-lasting stability.

Every property is unique, and at Ground Force, we pride ourselves on offering customised retaining wall solutions. We’ll work with you to design and build a wall that meets your specific requirements, ensuring it complements your existing landscape while addressing any challenges.
