Retaining Timber Walls Info & Inspiration
Timber retaining walls: unlock your garden’s potential
Do you dream of a level lawn, terraces rather than slopes, a safe flat play area, raised garden beds, or a sheltered patio with an attractive backdrop? If so, our choice of timber retaining walls could be just what you need to transform your outdoor space. Re-imagining your garden in layers, with creative changes in level, could help you to reclaim unloved spaces, maximise natural height, and provide welcome areas of shade and privacy.
Our pre-treated timber walls are both functional and decorative. We use only plantation-grown radiata pine, which is environmentally sustainable and prepped for ground contact, making it ideally suited to the job. Our retaining walls can be used to realise a huge variety of projects from raised flower beds to enclosed outdoor dining areas, sunken gardens to terraced lawns that the whole family can enjoy.
Note: A retaining wall needs to work hard to keep the soil where you want it to stay. So please be aware that any steep banks, waterlogged ground, or heavy load-bearing walls will need firm footings with good drainage and may require specialist advice and council planning consent before you start work. We recommend reading our Guide to Building Retaining Walls which includes notes on building consents and the retaining wall fundamentals.
We supply three types of retaining timber to suit a wide range of landscaping projects and styles: Rough Sawn, Tongue and Groove, and SureWall. The latest SureWall design uses a clever sliding interlocking system which is quick and easy to install for a neat and contemporary finish. Any low retaining wall could also be turned into bench seating or topped with one of our attractive trellis or decorative landscaping screens for a taste of inspirational outdoor living.
Rough Sawn Retaining Timber
Our rough sawn retaining timber is a straight-grained sustainable wood with a classic even texture that will bring a strong natural finish to your garden design. This versatile treated timber is perfect for creating raised beds, supporting terraced lawns, and retaining difficult spaces. A durable material, your rough sawn timber wall will look at home in a range of spaces and will weather naturally in keeping with its surroundings.

- Radiata Pine from sustainably grown NZ plantations

Tongue & Groove Retaining Timber
A traditionally sturdy close-fitting design, tongue and groove offer lasting quality with a clean profile and a smooth-looking finish. Interlocking tongue and groove timbers are an ideal solution for various retaining walls, creating an attractive backdrop for an enclosed patio, sheltered play area or to support a terraced lawn. Consider turning a low tongue and groove wall into bench seating or top with one of our attractive trellis or decorative landscaping screens to create a private area perfect for entertaining.

Simply select the timber of your choice, and you’re good to go.
