Site access and preparation
Difficult access can increase labour and equipment costs, as can excavation, grading, or clearing vegetation before the wall goes in.
Retaining Wall Price Guide
A clear, per-square-metre guide for every wall type we build — plus how long a properly designed wall will last.
Here is a rough idea of the price per square metre (m²) for all types of retaining walls, and how long a properly designed and constructed retaining wall will last.
What changes the price
Design complexity
Custom designs, curves, steps, or integrated features such as lighting or seating add to the complexity and cost of the project.
Ground conditions and drainage
Poor soil, a high water table, or the need for extra drainage can add materials and labour to the overall cost.
