Retaining Wall Concreting Melbourne

A retaining wall holds back soil and carries real structural load, making it one of the more engineering-sensitive services we provide. SMM Concreting Landscaping builds retaining walls across Melbourne, with every job completed by our own crew, not subcontractors.

What Is

Retaining Wall Concreting?

Retaining wall concreting is the construction of a structural wall designed to hold back soil where a property has a change in ground level, whether that’s a natural slope or a level change created during earlier work.

Unlike most other concreting work, a retaining wall carries constant lateral load from the soil behind it, so wall thickness, reinforcement and footing depth all have to be calculated for the specific site rather than applied as a standard formula.

Drainage behind the wall is just as important as the wall itself. Without it, water pressure builds up over time, particularly across Melbourne’s clay soils, which hold water and expand and contract with moisture changes. We treat drainage as a core part of the build, not an optional extra.

Retaining Wall Types We Build

Gravity Retaining Walls Lower walls that rely on their own mass and footing, suited to smaller level changes.
Cantilever Retaining Walls Reinforced walls engineered for taller retaining requirements.
Terraced & Tiered Walls Multiple stepped walls used to manage a steep slope in stages.
Boundary Retaining Walls Built along a property boundary where ground levels differ between neighbours.
Structural & Engineered Walls Larger walls built to specific engineering documentation and certification.

Long-Term Durability Correct reinforcement and drainage mean the wall performs for decades.

Our Retaining Wall Process

01 Site Assessment & Engineering Requirements We assess the slope, soil conditions and height of the wall to determine footing depth, reinforcement and whether engineering certification is required.
02 Excavation & Footing Preparation The footing is excavated and prepared to the depth the wall’s height and soil conditions require.
03 Formwork & Reinforcement Formwork is set to the engineered dimensions, and reinforcement is placed to resist the soil load behind the wall.
04 Pouring & Drainage Installation Concrete is poured, and drainage is installed behind the wall to manage water pressure over time.
05 Curing & Backfill The wall cures properly before backfilling, carried out in stages to avoid placing uneven load on the new wall.
