Struggling with slopes, erosion, or wasted space on your Tairua property?
Our local Tairua-based construction team specialises in expert retaining walls that transform tricky hillsides into usable, beautiful outdoor areas – perfect for the Coromandel's coastal and hilly terrain!
We build durable, compliant retaining walls using the best materials for NZ conditions:

Treated timber for a natural, rustic look that blends with native bush and your surroundings
Strong concrete block or interlocking systems for maximum strength on steeper sites
Gabion or stone options for that rugged coastal vibe

From small garden terraces and raised beds to large structural walls holding back hillsides – we handle design, consents (where needed), drainage, engineering, and full installation. Built to last against wind, rain, and salt air.

Why choose us?

Local experts – we know Tairua's soil, weather, and council rules inside out
Quality workmanship with proper drainage & backfill to prevent future issues
Fully insured, experienced crew
Free site assessments & quotes

Turn your steep section into stunning terraced gardens, extra parking, safer access, or that dream outdoor living space you've been wanting!

A huge mihi to WDL – Waikato Developments Ltd 🤝

Earlier this season, WDL ran a special where for every digger hire, they would donate $50 back into our Junior Rugby League. We are so proud to announce that their generosity has resulted in a $700 donation towards our juniors.
This is absolutely massive for our club. Not only are WDL one of our top sponsors, but they continually go above and beyond, always looking for ways to support our tamariki and help junior sports grow here in Tairua, Hikuai and Pauanui.

This kōha will go directly into our Junior Rugby League programme, helping us to provide more training resources, build those fundamental skills, and purchase more uniforms as our club continues to grow.
From all of us here at Tairua Rugby League...ngā mihi nui.
Thank you for backing our kids, our whānau, and our community. 💙
