Wellington Hillside & Seismic Specialists

Wellington is a city built on steep hills and fault lines, making retaining walls a critical component of almost every property. A failing wall in Wellington is not just an eyesore; it’s a severe safety hazard that can threaten the structural integrity of your entire home. We specialize in replacing failing walls and constructing new, heavily engineered solutions.

Our construction methods are designed to handle Wellington’s unique seismic activity and extreme weather. We install comprehensive sub-surface drainage (Nova coil and scoria) to ensure heavy winter rains don’t build up hydrostatic pressure. Whether it’s a standard timber pole wall or a heavy masonry block structure, our work is built to last.
