Strong, Functional Walls With Lasting Value

Fencer Steve has been building retaining walls across Port Macquarie and surrounding areas for decades, helping homeowners and businesses create outdoor spaces that are both practical and attractive. A retaining wall does more than just hold back soil - it can prevent erosion, protect property foundations, and shape your land into usable, safe areas. For sloping blocks or properties prone to drainage issues, a well-built retaining wall can be the difference between a yard that’s difficult to manage and one that’s ready for landscaping or everyday use.


Retaining walls are built from durable materials such as concrete, stone or treated timber, ensuring long-term stability even in tough Australian conditions. With the right design, they not only serve a functional purpose but also enhance kerb appeal by giving gardens and outdoor areas a polished, structured look. Whether you need a small garden wall or a large-scale project, Fencer Steve delivers solutions that last.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why do I need a retaining wall?

    Retaining walls are essential on sloping properties where soil needs to be held in place. They prevent erosion, manage drainage and protect surrounding structures such as houses, sheds or driveways. In addition to their practical role, they can transform an uneven yard into a usable outdoor space. Many homeowners also choose retaining walls for the aesthetic appeal they bring to gardens and landscapes.

  • What materials are best for retaining walls?

    Common materials include concrete blocks, natural stone, treated timber and brick. Concrete is popular for its durability, while stone creates a natural, decorative finish. Timber is often chosen for smaller projects because it’s affordable and easy to install. The right choice depends on your budget, property style and how long you want the wall to last.

  • Do retaining walls require drainage?

    Yes. Good drainage is critical to the strength and longevity of a retaining wall. Without proper drainage, water builds up behind the wall and creates pressure that can cause damage or collapse. Professional installers always allow for adequate drainage, often by including gravel backfill or drainage pipes, to ensure the wall performs for years to come.

  • Can retaining walls be built on a slope?

    Yes, retaining walls are specifically designed for sloped properties. They allow you to create level areas for lawns, gardens or entertaining spaces. On steep blocks, tiered retaining walls can also add a striking design feature. With the right engineering, even challenging landscapes can be stabilised effectively.
