Why Most Retaining Wall Jobs Go Sideways

If you've chased three quotes and only heard back from one, you already know the market's broken. Here's what actually goes wrong.

You can't get anyone to show up

You ring around, half never call back, one sends a quote weeks later, and the keen one wants to start next season. Meanwhile the slope keeps moving.

The posts aren't set deep enough

Most retaining walls that fail, fail because the posts weren't set deep enough for the soil load and the slope. Cutting that corner is why walls start leaning within a couple of years.

No proper drainage behind the wall

Water pressure is what pushes walls over. If there's no drainage system behind the wall, it's a matter of when, not if. On every Eastside build the drainage goes in before the backfill.

Built without the right approvals

In Victoria, taller walls — and anything holding up a driveway, fence or structure — need engineering and council sign-off. Skip it and you've got a problem the day something moves.

Who You're Actually Hiring

Kenny Runs Every Build — and Reads Your Block Before He Quotes

Eastside is owner-run by Kenny. He assesses every site himself, tells you what's actually possible, then builds it to a proper structural standard — not a garden edge dressed up to look like a wall.

  • The site gets read before you're quoted

    Slope, soil, access and drainage all factored in before a price — so the quote matches the job that actually gets built.

  • Built properly, every time

    Correct post depth for your load. Drainage system in before the backfill. Engineered where the job calls for it. No shortcuts behind the face.

  • Concrete or timber, matched to the job

    Concrete sleepers for structural walls, treated pine where it suits. The right material for your load and your look — not whatever's easiest for us.

  • Council & engineering handled

    Where a permit or sign-off is required, we arrange and manage it — so you're not left navigating council on your own.

  • $20M public liability insured

    Your property and project are covered from the first dig through to the final clean-up and inspection.

Straight Talk

We're Not the Right Fit for Every Job

Eastside specialises in structural retaining walls — concrete sleeper and treated pine — for homeowners across Eastern and South East Melbourne. Most of our work starts from around $10,000 and up.

If you're after the cheapest garden edge on a quick turnaround, we're honestly not your crew — there are plenty who'll do that. What we do is read the block, build it to hold, drain it properly, and handle the council and engineering side so it's done once and done right.

If that's the wall you want — one that's still dead straight in ten years — that's exactly the job we're built for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kenny will call you the same day you enquire for a quick chat, then come out for a free on-site consult — usually within a few days. You'll have a clear, fixed quote within 48 hours of that visit.

In Victoria, walls under 1 metre generally don't need a building permit. Anything taller — or a wall supporting a driveway, fence or structure — usually needs engineering and council approval, and some councils set stricter limits around 600mm. We'll confirm exactly what applies to your property during the quote.

Yes. Where a permit or engineering sign-off is required, we arrange and manage it for you and work with qualified engineers — so you're not left to navigate council on your own.

Yes — sloped blocks, tight access and multi-level sites are what we specialise in. We design walls that are structurally sound and tailored to your site, so the finished result is both usable and looks right.

Concrete sleepers are the most durable, low-maintenance option and suit structural walls. Treated pine brings a natural timber look at a lower cost and suits lighter-duty walls and garden work. We'll recommend the right material for your load and your look on the call.

We specialise in retaining wall projects from $10,000 and above. Focusing on quality structural jobs is how we keep the standard high and give every client the attention they deserve.
