6 Benefits of Concrete Block Retaining Walls
Engineered Strength for Sloped Blocks
Ideal for hilly areas like Currumbin Valley or Tallebudgera Valley, these walls are designed to retain large volumes of soil safely and effectively.
Great for Clay and Sandy Soils
Whether you’re building on reactive clay or sandy soil near the coast, concrete block walls provide reliable, long-term support.
Highly Durable and Long-Lasting
When core-filled and reinforced, these walls resist movement, moisture, and pressure over time, even during the Gold Coast’s storm season.
Fire-Resistant and Pest-Proof
Concrete blocks are non-combustible and won’t attract termites—an advantage in bushfire-prone or termite-heavy areas.
Low Maintenance
Once installed, these walls require little upkeep and won’t rot, warp, or degrade like some timber walls.
Pairs Well with Other Outdoor Features
Works seamlessly alongside fencing, steps, and landscaping—ideal for complete outdoor upgrades or boundary solutions.

Gold Coast Concrete Block Retaining Walls FAQs
Are concrete block retaining walls more expensive than concrete sleeper retaining walls?
Yes, concrete both dry stack and Besser block walls cost roughly 30% more than concrete sleeper walls. This is primarily due to the increased time required to install block wall systems compared to sleeper retaining wall systems.
While the upfront cost is higher, concrete block retaining walls offer a different aesthetic finish that many homeowners prefer. Also many dry stacking concrete blocks allow for smooth curves within the wall creating an architectural finish that sleeper wall systems cannot provide.
Check out our blog post for more info on the cost comparison between concrete block retaining walls and concrete sleeper retaining walls.

Are concrete block retaining walls suitable for Gold Coast’s soil and weather conditions?
Absolutely. Concrete block retaining walls are engineered to handle local reactive clay soils in areas like Mudgeeraba and Nerang, and they withstand coastal weather, including salt laden sea breeze and heavy rainfall. When built with proper reinforcement, drainage, and core filling, these walls remain strong and low-maintenance over time, even through storms and shifting ground.
How long does it take to build a concrete block retaining wall?
For a typical residential wall (up to 1m high), most jobs take around 3–7 days, depending on access, site preparation, and wall height. Steeper blocks, complex sites, or tightly packed lots in older Gold Coast suburbs may take longer. Weather can also cause delays, especially after heavy rain.
As trusted block retaining walls contractors Gold Coast locals rely on, we’ll give you a clear, realistic timeline after inspecting your site. Call us on (07) 5651 0669 to get a free onsite assessment and quote!
Do I need council approval to build a concrete block retaining wall on the Gold Coast?
You usually don’t need approval for walls under 1 metre high that don’t support structures or impact neighbours. But if the wall is over 1 metre high, near a property boundary, supports another structure, or could affect storm water flow, Gold Coast City Council requires approval. We’re familiar with these retaining wall rules and can help point you in the right direction.
How long do concrete block retaining walls last on the Gold Coast?
With proper design, core filling, reinforced steel, and good drainage, concrete block retaining walls can last at least 60 years or more. That longevity is especially important in the Gold Coast, where the humid climate, strong sun, and heavy rain can accelerate wear on lesser materials.
