Peter arrived on time and has done a wonderful job of relaying pavers. His work was seamless with the previous paving and all level. He was able to assess other areas of our yard that need work and provide advice and suggestions. I am very happy with Peter’s work. Peter is friendly and personable, I highly recommend him.

What do retaining walls services include?
Retaining walls services include all the necessary tasks to build a sturdy and attractive retaining wall in your outdoor space to prevent erosion. Your hired retaining wall contractors can assess the site, help you design the retaining wall if you don’t have a design ready, then build the wall.Â
Assessing the site
The first step in retaining wall construction is taking site measurements. Your Tasker can consider distinct site features, like if the wall will be placed on a slope and if the site gets a lot of rain or snowmelt. The retaining wall builders can also recommend the appropriate design and materials to suit the site’s measurements and features.Â
Designing the walls
If you don’t have a design already, a local retaining wall contractor can help you make one. Some local landscape retaining wall contractors can provide you with not just any retaining wall design, but one that conforms with established zoning laws and safety and industry standards. The design can also have the aesthetic elements you want and be sturdy enough to prevent soil erosion in your property. Yes, you can have all this while keeping within your budget! When you post a task, specify your budget and get offers from retaining wall contractors near you.Â
Getting permits
The next step is to get permits for the design and build. Your Tasker can obtain the required permits from the relevant authorities like your Homeowner’s Association, City Planning Department, or other federal jurisdiction. Note that some Taskers may charge extra for getting these permits. Even as construction and zoning laws vary from state to state, don’t worry; Local retaining wall installers know how and where to get the appropriate permits.Â
Preparing for the build
Your Tasker can get the materials and prepare the appropriate tools. Whichever type of retaining wall you want to be built—brick, concrete, concrete bag, wood, or natural stone—your Tasker can get the right materials! Your Tasker can also make sure the materials and tools are of the right specification, quality, and amount. Then, they can turn over any leftover materials after the build.
Building the retaining walls
Your hired Taskers can do the retaining wall installation or construction once they’re ready with the design, permits, and materials. They can build your retaining wall as per the drafted design, so there are no surprises. The result could be an aesthetically pleasing yet functional wall that can protect your property from soil erosion. The Tasker can execute the design, whether it’s a retaining wall made of wood, concrete, hollow blocks, cement bags, or boulders. They’ll use the appropriate tools, procured materials, safety equipment, and techniques.Â
Finishing touches
Your Tasker can apply any finishing touches or embellishments on the retaining wall design as required. This can include installing capstones on stone walls, creating gradual step-downs or turning-in sections, backfilling, or installing greenery and other embellishments. Don’t forget that you can also have other features like privacy screens or outdoor blinds installed.

Retaining Wall & Fence Remediation - Labour Only
$1,500
Wright ACT, Australia
11th Apr 2024
I have a side fence in place that will probably need to be removed and reset. Easy access from side as a house is currently in the early stages of build next door. Sloping block, so height of retaining wall will vary. Only 0.5 m likely at front of block, but there are 2 sections of fence that need a deep retaining wall (around 1m). Only looking for cheap concrete wall and to sit nicely under the fence if possible, so fence will have to be re-positioned. The wall doesn't need to be built for the entire length of the property, as fence slopes down to the level of the easement which is at ground level. Hole is now mostly filled too but access from either side possible. Maybe something like these: https://retainingwallsupplies.com.au/concrete-sleepers/malibu-woodgrain-concrete-sleepers/ https://www.bunnings.com.au/brands/r/ridgi Happy to pay for materials and negotiate labour.

Advice on retaining wall
$100
Taylor ACT, Australia
20th Aug 2023
I'm looking for someone experienced in retaining wall construction to provide guidance on a particularly tricky project. Here are the specifics that make this job unique: Easement Limitation: There's a 2.5m easement from the fence line. Space Constraints: Only 500mm available between my house and the intended location of the retaining wall. Access Issues: Due to the confined space and other limitations, using heavy machinery seems to be a challenge. Drainage Concerns: I suspect there might be a need for drainage integration, but I require guidance on how best to approach this. Before diving into the construction of the retaining wall, I'd appreciate your advice on which tasks need to be completed first. My current idea is to get a stone wall due to the constraints, but I'm open to other suggestions on the most efficient and effective approach. Due date: Flexible
