Retaining Walls in Newcastle
Engineered concrete-sleeper, besser and timber retaining walls — built to hold.
A retaining wall does serious work — holding back soil, levelling a slope and creating usable, terraced space. Done properly, it’s engineered, drained and built to last for decades; done badly, it bulges, cracks and fails.
Tena Fencing designs and builds retaining walls across Newcastle — concrete sleeper, besser block and treated timber — with galvanised posts, proper drainage and ag-line, and engineering and council approval for walls over a metre. Built to hold, and built to look good.
Signs you might need retaining walls
- A sloping or uneven yard
- You want a level lawn or garden bed
- An old wall bulging, leaning or cracking
- A new build, pool or driveway on a slope
- Erosion or soil washing away

FAQs
Retaining Walls — common questions
Do I need council approval?
Walls over a metre high (or near a boundary or structure) generally need engineering and council approval. We handle that for you and build to the engineer’s design.
Why do some retaining walls fail?
Almost always poor drainage or under-built posts and footings. We use galvanised posts in proper footings and install ag-line drainage, so the wall holds for the long term.
