Cairns Retaining Walls
When a landscape requires both structure and stability, a professionally built concrete retaining wall is essential. At Core Concrete, we construct retaining walls that do more than hold soil—they provide long-term support, clean lines, and a solid foundation for both residential and commercial properties in Cairns.
Built with strength and safety in mind, each wall is carefully formed and poured using reliable techniques and materials that comply with Australian standards. Whether it’s to manage sloping ground or define property boundaries, our retaining walls are made to perform under pressure and weather the conditions of Far North Queensland.

Let’s Lay the Groundwork
Strong Foundations with Functional Design
Retaining walls play a critical role in shaping and supporting a landscape, especially on sloped or unstable ground. Concrete retaining walls are ideal for this purpose, offering both structural integrity and design versatility.
Each project begins with accurate formwork setup, reinforced steel placement and a poured concrete finish that is built to meet the site’s conditions. These walls are suitable for gardens, driveways, building surrounds and commercial properties. They provide stability while also serving as a clean, low-maintenance feature.
With formwork and labour included as part of the service, retaining walls are constructed with care, precision and a clear understanding of the load requirements involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of a retaining wall?
A retaining wall is designed to hold back soil and prevent erosion or collapse on sloped land. It helps create usable space in hilly areas, supports level surfaces for construction or landscaping, and can be used to define garden beds, property boundaries or elevation changes. Concrete retaining walls are particularly strong, making them ideal for structural and long-term use.
How long does it take to build a concrete retaining wall?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the wall. Smaller residential walls may be completed in a few days, while larger commercial structures take longer due to preparation, formwork, reinforcement and curing. Weather conditions and site access can also affect the duration. A proper site inspection helps determine accurate timeframes.
Do retaining walls require reinforcement?
Yes. Concrete retaining walls typically include steel reinforcement to help manage soil pressure and ensure structural integrity over time. Reinforced steel is tied and positioned within formwork before the concrete is poured, helping the wall resist movement, cracking and collapse, particularly on sloped or high-load areas.
