Mid North Coast Retaining Walls

A retaining wall isn’t just a landscaping feature—it’s a practical structure that needs to last.


At J.White Carpentry & Renovations, we build retaining walls across the Mid North Coast that balance form and function. Whether you need to support sloping ground, manage water runoff or simply create usable space, we’ll work with you to design a wall that suits the site and surrounding area.


We consider factors like drainage, soil type and long-term durability to ensure the result is not only visually clean but structurally sound. Our team handles everything from timber sleeper walls to more detailed timber and composite solutions, depending on your needs. With the right finish and layout, retaining walls can also help define paths, gardens and outdoor zones.

Built for Function, Finished With Care

The best retaining walls are the ones you don’t have to think about after they’re built. They quietly hold back soil, shape outdoor areas and resist weather over time—all without needing constant attention or repair.


That’s why the build process matters. From proper footings and treated timber to aligned posts and drainage considerations, every step must be done right the first time.


The wrong installation can lead to movement, leaning or drainage issues down the track. Whether you’re after something functional and cost-effective or a more polished finish for your outdoor space, the wall needs to be fit for purpose.


We focus on structural integrity and clean presentation to deliver retaining walls that work behind the scenes, giving you a tidier, safer, more practical yard.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the purpose of a retaining wall?

    A retaining wall is used to hold back soil on sloped land, preventing erosion and creating level areas for gardens, driveways or outdoor living. It also helps manage drainage and can define spaces, making yards safer, more usable and visually structured in both residential and commercial outdoor environments.

  • What materials are best for retaining walls?

    Timber, concrete, stone, and modular blocks are all commonly used. Timber is ideal for a natural look and cost-effective solution, while concrete and stone offer increased durability. The right material depends on site conditions, budget, and design preferences, as well as the expected height and function of the wall.

  • Do I need council approval to build a retaining wall?

    Council approval is often required if the wall exceeds a certain height (usually over one metre) or is near property boundaries. Regulations vary, so it’s important to check with local authorities or a certifier before starting. Proper planning ensures compliance, safety, and avoids delays during construction.
