Retaining walls budget planner
A starting point
for your budget.
Wall-face area is length multiplied by height. Walls supporting buildings, driveways or steep ground need a tailored assessment.
Use these ranges to plan your project. NZD including GST. They are indicative budgets, not quotes.
No contact details needed to explore. The $75 initial visit is separate from these project allowances.
Indicative budget
What this allowance excludes
Engineering, approvals, major excavation, imported fill, off-site spoil disposal and drainage connections. Only a low wall with no surcharge is assumed.
Your project and estimate will be added to the booking. $75 same-job credit if you proceed before your quote expires.

Questions about retaining walls
Start with these questions about this service. Browse all FAQs →
What is wall-face area?
Measure the visible length and average height in metres, then multiply them. For example, 10m long by 1m high is 10m².
Is drainage included?
This allowance includes ordinary drainage behind the wall. Drainage connections, unusual ground conditions and wider site works are separate.
Can this price a wall supporting a driveway?
No. Loads above the wall can change the design substantially. Select the complex option so the result requests a site assessment.
