Does your project require a retaining wall? In addition to our vast selection of outdoor paving products, Outdoor & General also provides various retaining wall options.
Retaining walls are a great way to manage properties with sloping land. As a structure that physically contains the earth, the wall separates the land at different levels so the earth being held doesn’t slide or fall.
With a wide selection of retaining wall choices, we can ensure that no matter what look you are going for, we can guarantee an option for your needs. Check out our retaining wall options below.
Concrete Blocks
Used for their strength and durability, concrete blocks are commonly applied across industrial, residential and commercial construction for retaining walls. Also known as ‘besser’ and ‘cinder’ blocks, these blocks can be used for large walls.
Due to their heavy nature, retaining walls made of concrete blocks are advised to be built by professional engineers only. It requires a custom design, concrete footing and various reinforcements applied throughout all build stages. Concrete blocks come in a wide range of styles and colours.

Gravity Retaining Walls
Gravity retaining walls, also known as dry stacked concrete blocks, are ideal for lower retaining walls and are a practical choice for shorter retaining walls or flower beds. They are created to replicate a natural stone block.
Generally, these types of blocks can be stacked easily as they have an interlocking system. This makes it DIY-appropriate. Gravity retaining wall blocks also come in various colours.

Concrete Sleepers
Solid, strong and dependable, concrete sleepers are popular for their practicality and aesthetic appeal. Unlike gravity retaining walls and concrete blocks, concrete sleepers are built with steel rails which the sleepers slot into. The steel is cemented into the ground, providing a solid frame for the sleepers to be applied.
Concrete sleepers come in a range of finishes and lengths. Low maintenance and adaptable to most projects. They are also known to come in various finishes that mimic other materials, including timber and sandstone.
