I need the old, failing retaining wall taken down, then replaced with a brand-new structure that is strong and simple for the front yard. The wall holds back a sloped garden, so reliable functional support is essential. I am undecided on materials. I’m looking for professional guidance. Please walk me through the pros and cons of concrete, timber and natural stone, suggest drainage and reinforcement methods, and show me photo examples or sketches of modern-sleek, rustic-natural and classic-traditional finishes so I can choose the best match for the house and landscape. I only want grass, Japanese Buxus and existing tree in the front yard. nothing extravagant. Weeds and twigs have already been cleared. I live at Pennant Hills, NSW Key deliverables • Safe demolition and disposal of the existing wall • At least two design/material options with estimates and visuals • Detailed build plan covering footings, drainage, reinforcement and backfill If you have experience in retaining wall engineering, and can share a portfolio of similar projects, I’d love to see it. Let me know your proposed timeline and any questions you might have, and we can get started. Estimated budget, not sure. happy to negotiate as I also have another retaining wall to be done.

I can help you develop a practical, durable retaining wall solution for your Pennant Hills property, with a focus on safety, drainage, longevity, and a clean appearance that complements the existing landscape.
