Retaining Wall Tips:

When landscaping Adelaide sloping blocks, prevalent throughout the north east and eastern suburbs of Adelaide, retaining walls are often used to reclaim some usable land.
Retaining walls should be constructed by licensed retaining wall contractors, such as Visual Landscape Gardening.

Council applications and engineering may be required, especially with walls over 500mm.
Water collecting behind the wall will also need to be considered; agricultural drains may need to be installed.
