Deckreation are your local expert retaining wall builders in Bay Of Plenty
Retaining walls are more than just a practical solution for stabilising slopes and preventing soil erosion—they are a key element in transforming your outdoor living space into useable areas. At Deckreation, we specialise in constructing custom retaining walls that not only enhance the functionality of your property but also add a touch of beauty to your landscape.
If you're considering excavation and retaining work, we invite you to get in touch with us to discuss your project's specific needs. We can manage the entire process, including excavation with our own digger and driver, organising any engineering input needed, handling all required consents, and construction of the retaining walls. By organising every aspect, we can ensure your project runs smoothly from start to finish.
Our comprehensive services include landscaping excavation, installing drainage solutions, and timber retaining wall construction. Please contact us today for a friendly chat about your requirements and we can arrange a site visit.
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
This type of timber is ideal for non-visible areas, such as under decks or in gardens where it will be surrounded by plants. It’s robust, treated to resist decay, and perfect for structural support.
Tongue-and-Groove Dressed Pine
For a clean and stylish finish, tongue-and-groove dressed pine is the preferred choice. These timber pieces fit together seamlessly, preventing soil seepage and providing a polished look that can be enhanced with capping for added functionality, such as seating.
Capping Options
We can add capping to either type of timber to give your retaining wall a finished look or to create extra seating for your outdoor entertaining area. This not only maximizes the usability of your space but also adds a cohesive design element to your landscape.
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!

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:
Repair Services
If your retaining wall is showing signs of wear and tear, such as soil erosion, drainage issues, or structural damage, our team can assess the situation and provide the necessary repairs to restore its integrity.
Replacement Services
Sometimes, a retaining wall may need to be replaced entirely. Whether due to age, damage, or a change in your landscape design, Deckreation can remove and replace your existing retaining wall with a new, durable structure that meets your current needs.
