Australian Retaining Walls Price Guides

Here is a rough idea of the price per square metre (m2) for all types of retaining walls and how long a properly designed and constructed retaining wall will last.

Key factors that influence pricing are:

• Site Accessibility and Preparation:

  
  Difficult access to the site can increase labor and equipment costs, as can the need for extensive site preparation, such as excavation, grading, or clearing vegetation.
  
  

• Design Complexity and Features:

  
  Custom designs, curves, steps, or integrated features like lighting or seating can add to the complexity and cost of the project.
  
  

• Ground Conditions and Drainage Requirements:

  
  Poor soil conditions, high water tables, or the need for extensive drainage solutions can significantly impact the overall cost due to additional materials and labor.
