Retaining Walls built in Adelaide are used when the home is either higher or lower than the land surrounding it. If you are higher than your neighbour by 1 metre, then you might need a 1 metre high Retaining Wall. If you are building a new home and the land has a slight slope, when the builders install the new foundation level (or straight) then you may need a Retaining Wall.
