Retaining Walls in Sydney – Crafted by Master Masons
If you’re building a new home or reworking an outdoor space in Sydney that’s lost its shape over time, a retaining wall can do more than hold the earth in place; it can define the entire look and feel of your yard. At The Stone Guys, we’ve been building retaining walls in Sydney for over 20 years, helping both homeowners and builders create spaces that are solid, safe, and visually timeless.
We’re a small team of experienced masons, led by Joe Chiverton, a highly-skilled and qualified mason. We still believe in doing things properly, by hand, with skill, and with an eye for detail that makes each wall look amazing.
Why Choose The Stone Guys for Retaining Walls?
When you’re investing in a retaining wall for functionality, appearance, or both, you want to know that it’s been built with care. At The Stone Guys, we combine the structural know-how that ensures long-term stability with a genuine appreciation for the materials we use and how they tie into your surroundings.
We don’t just stack blocks. We carefully consider:
- How the wall interacts with the slope and drainage
- The right stone type for your environment and home style
- Depth, footing, and reinforcement are needed for lasting strength
- How it blends in seamlessly with nearby landscaping

Functional Strength Meets Natural Beauty
A well-built retaining wall should earn its keep on two fronts. First, it needs to hold back soil, protect your foundation or garden bed, and stand the test of time. But just as importantly, it should look like it was always meant to be there.
We often work on sites where retaining walls are both practical and aesthetic. That means we build walls that support heavy garden terraces or steep driveways. We make them look great, using natural stone, clean angles, and finishes that match your space.
Whether you’re after a rugged sandstone feel, something smooth and modern, or a more classic look with cladding, we’ll guide you through options that suit your budget and taste.
Sydney’s Trusted Masonry Team for Over 20 Years
Our team brings decades of combined experience, with roots in traditional masonry and a clear understanding of how Sydney’s homes, soil types, and terrain vary from job to job. We’ve worked on all kinds of sites: from heritage homes to new builds, narrow suburban lots to open rural spaces. Importantly, we treat each one as its own challenge.
We’re not a high-turnover crew rushing from job to job. We focus on quality over volume, and we’re proud of the fact that most of our work comes from word of mouth and repeat clients. Builders trust us to deliver exactly what they need. Homeowners trust us to take their vision and build something they’re proud to look at every day.

FAQs – Retaining Walls in Sydney
How long does a retaining wall project usually take?
It depends on the size, access, and complexity of your site. But typically, it takes anywhere from a few days to two weeks. We’ll always give you a realistic timeframe before we begin.
Do I need to have plans drawn up already?
No. Whether you have detailed plans or just a rough idea, we’ll help you shape it into something practical. Many of our clients start with a chat and a few site photos, and that’s more than enough to begin.
Can you match my retaining wall to other stone or garden features?
Yes, and we often do. We have access to a wide range of stone types and finishes, so we can create a cohesive look that ties into your home’s existing materials.
Are your retaining walls suitable for sloped blocks or tricky terrain?
Absolutely. A large portion of our work involves working with challenging sites, uneven ground, limited access, or multi-level yards. We’ll find the right solution for the land you’ve got.
What about council approvals?
In some cases, approvals are needed, especially for taller walls or those near boundaries. We’ll guide you through the process if it applies to your job, and help keep everything compliant.
