At Adelaide Retaining Walls, we only construct block walls on concrete footings due to the highly reactive and often unreliable soil conditions found throughout South Australia. With extensive experience in the design and installation of custom, fit-for-purpose footings, we ensure every wall is built for long-term performance and durability.
Our smaller format block walls are constructed using hollow concrete blocks, reinforced with steel rods and core-filled with concrete to engineered specifications. These walls offer both structural integrity and aesthetic flexibility, with finishes ranging from a plain concrete or Besser block appearance through to rendered surfaces or stone facades fixed to the exposed face for a more refined result. They can also be finished with bullnose or split-face capping, providing a variety of options to suit the desired look of the project.
All of our block walls incorporate a significant drainage system behind the wall to relieve hydrostatic pressure and protect the wall’s long-term stability.
Block and brick retaining walls are a versatile option for projects that need both structural performance and a more established, finished appearance. They work well across residential and commercial sites, especially where the retaining wall also needs to complement the style of the home, boundary, or surrounding landscape.
Block and brick retaining walls combine durability, visual strength, and design flexibility, making them a strong option for projects where both performance and presentation matter.
