RETAINING WALLS

Engineer-Approved Retaining Walls That Last Generations

Transform sloping sections into usable outdoor space with professionally constructed retaining walls. Persson Earthworks delivers structurally sound, council-compliant retaining solutions across Hawke's Bay—backed by three generations of earthworks expertise.

Built to Code, Built to Last

Every retaining wall over 1.5 meters requires engineer certification and council consent. We handle the entire process, working with trusted engineers to ensure your wall meets all structural and safety requirements. Our timber retaining walls start at approximately $57 per linear meter for materials, with full project quotes provided after site assessment.
