Retaining Walls & Steps

Timber, concrete block, and natural stone retaining walls and steps across the North Shore — built to hold and built to look good doing it.

A well-built timber wall is one of the most practical solutions for residential properties on the North Shore. We build timber retaining walls with proper deadman anchoring, drainage behind the wall, and footings that account for the load. Built to hold — not to lean over in three years.

Concrete block is the right call when you need height, strength, and a clean finish. We install Allan block and concrete retaining systems with proper batter, base preparation, and drainage — engineered to handle significant loads and grade changes without movement.

For properties where the wall needs to feel like it belongs in the landscape, natural stone and boulders are hard to beat. We build dry-stacked and mortared stone walls that are structurally sound, properly drained, and finished to sit naturally within the surrounding property.

Steps are often an afterthought — they shouldn’t be. We build stone, timber, and block steps that are properly sized, level, and anchored so they hold up to daily use and don’t shift or settle over time. Safe, functional, and finished to match the surrounding wall or landscape.

We take pride in our work and the relationships we build with our clients. Here’s what some of them have to say about their experience with Backyard Solutions Ltd.
