/ Wall types we build

The right wall for your site.

Concrete Sleeper — photoConcrete sleeper retaining wall
Most popular01

Concrete Sleeper

Galvanised steel posts with reinforced concrete sleepers. Neat, strong, and the best value for most homes we work on.

Sandstone — photoSandstone retaining wall
Premium look02

Sandstone

Sawn or rough-cut sandstone blocks and boulders. A natural finish that looks right on older Sydney homes and gardens.

Timber — photoTimber retaining wall
Natural & warm03

Timber

Treated hardwood or pine sleepers. Done with the right footings and drainage so it holds, instead of rotting out in a few years.

Gabion — photoGabion retaining wall
Structural & modern04

Gabion

Rock-filled wire baskets for heavy retention and erosion control. They drain on their own and suit a rugged, modern look.

/ Why METCON

Built to hold,
year after year.

Designed for your site
Every wall gets designed around your actual site: soil type, how high it's holding back, drainage and any load on top. Signed off and certified.
Drainage done properly
Most walls fail because of water, not weight. We put in the ag-drain, aggregate and weep holes properly. That's the bit that gets skipped, and it's why walls end up leaning.
Council approvals handled
Anything over a metre or near a boundary usually needs approval. We sort the DA or CDC and the engineering so you don't cop a stop-work notice.
One accountable team
You deal with the blokes actually building it, not a salesperson. Same number from the first quote through to the day it's finished.
/ How it works

From enquiry to finished wall.

01

Free site assessment

We come out, walk the site, look at the slope and where the water goes, and hear what you're after. No charge anywhere across Sydney.

02

Itemised written quote

A written quote with everything itemised: materials, labour, machinery, drainage and engineering. No rough ballpark figures.

03

Engineering & approvals

We organise the structural design and lodge the council approvals if the wall needs them, so the paperwork's all in order before we start.

04

Build & hand over

A proper build on a set program: correct footings, drainage and backfill. You get the paperwork at the end so it's sorted for good.
