Timber sleeper and concrete block retaining walls, engineered for sloped Melbourne blocks. Owner-operated by Antonio since 2014. Starting from $250/m².
Many south-eastern Melbourne suburbs — Box Hill, Wheelers Hill, Glen Iris, Camberwell, Vermont — sit on sloped or split-level blocks where a retaining wall is what makes a flat, usable backyard, driveway or garden bed possible. A well-built wall also manages stormwater runoff and stops soil erosion undermining paving, decking or your home's foundations after Melbourne's wet winters.
The most affordable option — hardwood or treated pine sleepers on steel or timber posts. Suits garden beds and low walls under 1m.
Engineered concrete block or besser block walls for taller retaining, driveways and structural loads. Long-lasting in Melbourne's clay soils.
Concrete core with a natural bluestone or stone-look face — the strength of block construction with a premium finish.

I had a great experience working with Antonio from Antonio PrimeScape Construction on a recent paving job. Antonio and his partner Sebastian were fantastic to deal with from start to finish.
Antonio did an amazing paving job at our home in Wheelers Hill. From the first message he was very professional, arrived on time and explained every step clearly.
Antonio is very professional, hardworking and reliable. He did a fantastic job on my landscaping design, front yard and back yard, and helped remove an old concrete structure too.
Retaining walls in Melbourne typically cost $250–$600 per square metre depending on wall height, material (timber sleeper vs concrete block) and engineering requirements. Taller walls (over 1 metre) usually need engineering certification, which adds to the cost. Every quote is free and confirmed in writing after an on-site inspection.
Most Melbourne councils require engineering certification for retaining walls over 1 metre high, or lower if the wall is supporting a structure, driveway or is near a boundary. We can arrange engineering drawings and handle the permit process as part of the job.
Timber sleeper walls are more affordable and suit a natural garden look, but concrete block (or bluestone-faced) walls last longer, especially on sloped blocks that hold moisture through Melbourne's wet winters. We'll recommend the right option after seeing your site and drainage conditions.
