Timber retaining walls: versatile and durable
Timber is a versatile and durable choice for retaining walls, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal. At Deckreation, we primarily use timber for our retaining walls, and we provide a variety of options to suit your needs:
Rough-Sawn Tanalized Pine
Create level, usable areas with practical retaining walls
Retaining walls serve not only as a practical solution for stabilising slopes but also as an opportunity to enhance your outdoor living space. With our creative landscape design approach, we can transform your retaining walls into beautiful and functional features that elevate your property:
- Usable level spaces: Retaining walls can help you reclaim sloped areas by creating level spaces perfect for gardens, kids' play areas, or outdoor living zones.
- Garden retaining walls: Use timber retaining walls to build raised garden beds, planter boxes, or terraced areas, adding both visual appeal and practicality to your garden.
- Integrated seating and decking: By adding capping to your retaining walls, we can create built-in seating that serves as a stylish and functional feature for your outdoor entertaining spaces.
- Define and separate spaces: Retaining walls can be used to delineate different areas of your landscape, such as separating a lawn from a garden, creating privacy, or adding structure to your outdoor design.
While we can build retaining walls as a standalone project, we offer a wide range of landscape design and build services which could include deck installations, timber pergola and fence construction, and even installing concrete swimming pools! Talk to Deckreation today for all your landscaping and retaining wall requirements.
Robust drainage solutions for retaining walls
Drainage is a critical aspect of retaining wall construction, ensuring long-term stability and preventing soil erosion. At Deckreation, our team installs effective drainage systems behind retaining walls to direct water away from the structure, reducing the risk of damage and extending the life of the wall. We tailor our drainage solutions to meet the specific needs of your site, ensuring optimal performance and long-lasting stability.
Repairs and maintenance to keep your retaining walls strong
Retaining walls, like any outdoor structure, require regular maintenance to ensure they remain functional and safe. Deckreation offers comprehensive repair and maintenance services to keep your retaining walls in top condition:
