Retaining Solutions for Boundary & Fencing Works

Coastrade delivers retaining wall solutions specifically designed to stabilise boundary lines and properly support fencing installations across the Sunshine Coast.

Retaining is often required where properties sit at different heights, soil movement has occurred, or new fencing requires structural reinforcement.

We specialise in retaining works constructed as part of fencing and structural boundary upgrades - ensuring stability, longevity and compliance with Queensland building standards.

All works are completed under appropriate QBCC licensing and are fully insured.

Our Retaining Services

Why retaining is critical for boundary fencing

Installing fencing without addressing ground levels and soil pressure leads to:

  • Leaning fence posts

  • Structural movement

  • Premature fence failure

  • Drainage issues

  • Boundary instability

Retaining walls manage soil load and water flow so fencing performs long term.

Proper retaining is not cosmetic, it is structural.

Signs Your Retaining May Be Failing

Retaining failure often leads to fencing failure. Addressing both together is typically the most effective solution.

  • Bowing or leaning sleepers

  • Rotting timber

  • Cracking concrete

  • Soil pushing through gaps

  • Fence movement or separation

CoasTrade have been amazing from start finish !! Fantastic customer service from Jude so professional and kind explaining everything to us every step of the way, seamless. Big shout out to Dave and Elliot who installed the fence and cleaned up so well afterwards. We loved the sound of Dave’s voice singing along as he worked so happy and cheerful. Two great, hardworking and polite tradies who are a credit to CoasTrade. Would 100% recommend this business to anyone !!

I can Highly recommend CoasTrade. Used this company for a fence replacement recently, and the whole process was smooth and easy. Quick returns on quotes, fair more reasonably priced than other quotes I received. Staff were friendly, professional and reliable. I would not hesitate to use again

I was very satisfied with the work they did. The painters did a great job on the guttering around the house and side pergola. Its a different house.

I couldn’t fault the service I received from CoasTrade. Communication was fantastic; in fact it was the best I've ever received on the coast. And, get this, they turn up when they say they will. The work was professional and at a very competitive price. What’s not to love.

CoasTrade returned my call quickly and sent Sam out to reinstall a side of house pool gate. He did this in under 2 hours and made a suggestion which saved me money. The end result was great and came in half the price of what Fencing companies quoted and who also took weeks to get back to me. Thoroughly recommend.

Retaining Walls - FAQ'S
Everything you need to know.
?

Questions & Answers:

Do you build all types of retaining walls?

We construct retaining systems specifically for boundary and fencing works.
We do not undertake decorative landscaping retaining or large-scale civil retaining projects.

If your retaining is required to support fencing or stabilise a boundary, we can assess and quote accordingly.

Do retaining walls require council approval?

Approval requirements depend on height, location, load and proximity to boundaries.

If engineering certification or council approval is required, this will be identified during the quoting process.

What materials do you use for retaining walls?

We install:

  • Treated timber sleeper systems

  • Concrete sleeper retaining systems

Material selection depends on load requirements, site conditions and longevity expectations.

Can you replace an existing failing retaining wall?

Yes. We regularly replace retaining walls that are leaning, rotting, bowing or structurally compromised, particularly where fencing is also being replaced.

Can retaining and fencing be installed at the same time?

Yes, and in many cases this is the most effective approach.

Integrating retaining and fencing ensures structural alignment and long-term performance.
