Retaining Walls

EcoPile designs, supplies and builds engineered retaining walls throughout New Zealand. Our concrete-free footing system means faster installs with no digging holes and no concrete so your wall goes up sooner, with less mess and less disruption to your site. From low garden borders to major structural walls up to 4 metres high, we handle the whole job: engineering, design, council submission, supply and installation. The result is a strong, good-looking retaining wall built to last in New Zealand conditions.

Our Retaining Wall Design and Build Service

We take care of your retaining wall from first site visit to finished wall. That includes assessing your site, engineering the design to suit the load and height, handling any council requirements, and building it with our trained install team. Prefer to build it yourself or use your own contractor? We also offer supply-only. Either way, you get the same engineered system and quality materials.

Concrete-free Footings (faster, cleaner, less disruption)

Our point of difference is the footing system. Traditional retaining walls need post holes dug and filled with concrete, which is slow, messy and weather-dependent. We use a concrete-free foundation system (EcoPile) instead, meaning:

• No weather delays
• No concrete to pour, cure or wait on
• Fast installation, even in tight or awkward sites
• Less excavation, less mess and a quicker turnaround

It’s a cleaner, faster way to build a strong, fully engineered wall.

Strong Walls Up To 4 Metres

Our retaining walls are engineered to 12 kPa and built from 0.5 metres up to 4 metres high, with designs for taller walls available on request. Whether it’s a low garden wall or a structural wall holding back a steep section, every wall is designed to the right specification for the load and conditions.

Timber or Concrete Sleeper?

Choose the look that suits your project. Walls can be built with treated timber sleepers for a classic natural finish, or our durable concrete sleepers in a grey timber-look finish that won’t rot, warp or need ongoing maintenance. You can see more about our Concrete Sleepers here.
