Landscaping & Retaining Walls

Taylor's Rural Services

Rural landscaping and retaining wall builds designed for sloped blocks and soil stability.

Transforming a rural property into a functional, resilient and attractive space takes more than cosmetic planting—it takes robust design, earthworks know‑how and practical maintenance considerations.

 

At Taylors Rural Services, our landscaping and retaining wall service is built for country conditions: changing slopes, heavier equipment, livestock, erosion and water‐flow.

Whether you’re looking to build terraces, retaining walls to control slopes, garden beds, access paths or functional outdoor spaces, we bring design, construction and installation together. We use quality materials appropriate for rural zones—treated timber, concrete blocks, rocks, or engineered systems—based on the site’s needs and usage.

Our process begins with a site visit: we assess slope angles, soil stability, water runoff, vegetation, existing access and future usage. Then we plan retaining structures or landscape elements that perform. Walls are engineered to hold back earth, integrate drainage, prevent seepage and withstand rural loads (mobility, livestock, tractors). Landscape works integrate native planting, weed control, access tracks, terraces, mulching and long‑term maintenance planning.

By choosing us, you benefit from a solution that is built to last: we focus on durability, ease of maintenance (important on remote blocks), and rural aesthetics. We also coordinate the machinery, access, waste removal and final finish so you get a complete result.

Let us assist with your vision—from initial consult to finished terraces, planting and pathways. Reach out to talk about your slope, block size, desired outcomes and maintenance expectations; we’ll provide a tailored solution.

 

No online booking—just a direct call.

FAQ


What types of retaining walls do you build for rural properties?

We build timber‑treated, rock‑faced, concrete‑block and modular retaining walls—designed for slopes, erosion control and rural terrain.


Do you design the landscaping or just build what I supply?

We offer full service: initial consult, design advice, material recommendation and build. We work with your vision and site constraints.


Can you handle steep block and slope terrains?

Yes—we specialise in sloped rural blocks, assess gradient, soil stability, drainage and create retaining systems accordingly.


How long does it take to build a retaining wall or complete landscaping?

Project length depends on size, materials, slope and site access; we’ll provide an estimated timeline when quoting.


What maintenance is required after installing a retaining wall?

Maintenance is minimal if built correctly, but we provide guidance on drainage checks, weed control, structural inspections and vegetation management.


Are your landscaping materials suitable for rural fire‑risk areas?

Yes—we recommend fire‐safe plant species, access paths, screens and design elements suited to regional conditions including bushfire risk.


Can you integrate landscaping with existing rural features like paddocks or tracks?

Absolutely—our designs consider existing use, machinery, livestock movement, access and future expansion for rural properties.


Do you handle the clearing and site preparation?

Yes—we handle clearing, earthworks, debris removal, soil stabilisation and then build the walls or landscaping features.


What happens if drainage was previously causing erosion on my site?

We evaluate the root cause (slope, soil, water flow), design retaining and drainage accordingly, and fix the erosion issues as part of the landscaping build.


Can you supply native planting and ongoing maintenance?

Yes—we can source native plants suitable for your block and integrate them into the landscaping with mulch, weed control and maintenance advice.


How much does a retaining wall cost on a rural property?

Costs vary by height, length, material, access and site conditions. Contact us with your block details and we’ll provide a transparent quote.


Do you guarantee your retaining wall work?

Yes—we guarantee workmanship and appropriate materials; we stand by the structural integrity and durability of our builds on rural properties.
