"Building with SCRW is building with confidence - taking the guess work out of it."

Construction site with machinery and gravel bucket under cloudy sky.

We handle the excavation ourselves. Our dedicated team of excavators and civil crew ensures there’s no waiting on subcontractors, even when the terrain is challenging for landscaping projects. 


Drainage done right is crucial for retaining wall construction. Most walls fail due to water issues, which is why every wall is built with proper footings, drainage aggregate, ag pipe, and outlet planning to prevent water damage.


Enjoy one point of contact throughout the process; you’ll work directly with the owner from the first site visit all the way to the final handover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at admin@arkyncivil.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 Yes. Leaning, bulging or cracked walls are usually a sign of shallow footings or poor drainage. We safely remove the old wall and spoil, then rebuild with proper footings and drainage so it doesn't happen again. If the wall is holding up a driveway, structure or neighbouring land, call us sooner rather than later.


 Most residential walls take [2–5] days on site once we start, including excavation, footings, drainage, the wall itself and backfill. Larger or engineered walls take longer, and approvals can add time before we start. We'll give you a clear timeframe in your quote.


 It depends on the wall's height, how close it is to a boundary or building, and what it's holding up. Many low garden walls don't need approval, but taller walls, and walls supporting a driveway, structure or neighbouring land, usually need council approval and an engineer's design. Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and Shoalhaven councils each have their own rules. We check what applies at your free site assessment and can organise the engineering for you.


 

Concrete sleepers cost more upfront but won't rot, warp or attract termites, and they suit taller walls and wet Illawarra conditions. Timber is the budget-friendly option for lower garden walls and raised beds, but it has a shorter lifespan. For most boundary and backyard walls, concrete gives better value over the life of the wall. You can see and compare both at our Port Kembla showroom.


 Price depends on wall type, height and length, site access, soil and rock, drainage, and whether an old wall needs removing. Our Cost Guide gives realistic price ranges from walls we've built locally. For an exact, fixed price, book a free site assessment.
