Retaining Walls Across the Illawarra and the South Coast

Measure & Qoute

When you live and build around Wollongong, Shellharbour and down the coast, you quickly learn one thing: a retaining wall is only as good as what’s behind it. We build retaining walls that look great from the street and stay strong through rain, coastal air and southerly winds, and we are never limited by tight access and sloping blocks - we know the terrain and what it takes to get the job done.


We design and construct concrete sleeper retaining walls, timber retaining walls, and block/masonry walls for homes, investment properties and civil jobs with the ability to provide gabion and basket stabilisation for those heavy duty sites.

What goes into every SCRW wall

What you see is the face of the wall. What makes it last is underneath:

  • Footings sized and set to suit your soil and wall height
  • Drainage: drainage aggregate behind the wall, ag pipe, and a planned outlet so water has somewhere to go
  • Correct post spacing and embedment for sleeper walls
  • Compacted backfill, so the ground behind the wall doesn't slump
  • Clean-up: spoil removed and the site left tidy.

Is your wall failing?

Leaning, bulging, cracked sleepers, water pooling at the base or soil washing through the gaps are all signs that a wall was built without enough footing or drainage. We remove old walls and rebuild them so they stay put.

Council approval and engineering

 Taller walls, walls near a boundary or building, and walls holding up a driveway or structure may need council approval and an engineer's design. Rules differ between Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and Shoalhaven councils. We'll tell you what applies at your site visit, and we can coordinate the engineering for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at Damon@scrw.com.au if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yes. Drainage is one of the biggest reasons walls last (or fail). We build with drainage in mind from the ground up. 


Yes - we’ll look at access, levels, spoil removal and what equipment fits. 


It depends on height, budget, finish, and the site. We’ll recommend the best option for your property not just the easiest build.
