We build retaining walls across Nottingham to hold back sloping ground and turn an awkward bank into flat, usable garden. Sleeper, timber, block, concrete or natural stone, every wall gets proper footings and drainage behind it so it stays put.
If your garden slopes, a retaining wall is what gives you a level area you can actually use, whether that's for a patio, a lawn or raised beds. We build garden retaining walls across Nottingham that hold the ground properly and look the part while they do it.
We work in railway sleepers, treated timber, brick, concrete blocks and natural stone, so we can match the wall to your garden and budget. Sleeper and timber retaining walls go up quickly and have a warm, natural look. Block and concrete retaining walls are the go-to for taller, heavier jobs, and stone gives a more rugged finish.
The bit you don't see is what makes a retaining wall last. Behind every one we put the right footings, a drainage layer and weep holes so water has somewhere to go instead of building up and pushing the wall over. We're local retaining wall contractors based in Nottingham, covering West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, Hucknall and the rest of Nottinghamshire.
“Fantastic service from start to finish. The whole team were professional and friendly. Communication was spot on and I was always informed on what was happening. Would definitely recommend NLS to anyone looking to have their garden transformed.”
“Nottingham Landscaping Services have just completed our garden patio and it looks absolutely gorgeous, we are so happy with the finished result. Aaron and his team are professional and friendly, and are clearly experts in what they do. Our patio is quite a large surface area, and the quality of finish is perfect. We were kept informed at each stage of work from start to finish. Aaron accommodated changes to our timetable when our slabs were delayed by a-few days last minute. We would definitely recommend Nottingham Landscaping Services for your outdoor garden projects.”
“We have been incredibly impressed with this company. We wanted our front garden to be removed and stones laid. They were very quick in their emails and responses to questions and they booked a date in to complete the work extremely quickly. They completed all of the work within 5 hours! Very professional but also very lovely people. Would highly recommend!”
“Nottingham Landscaping Services did a very good job with installing artificial grass at the bottom of my garden . It has transformed the garden making it seem much bigger. It was worth the money. They were helpful and managed to work round the weather and not easy access . I would recommend them .”
“Absolutely thrilled with my garden. Aaron and the team have transformed a mud pit to a useable and easy maintenance family garden to suit five dogs too. Excellent communication; took on board my ideas but also suggested their own. I'm really pleased with the finished product - thank you to everyone who was involved.”
“Recently had my driveway and fencing done by NLS. Aaron and his team have done a terrific job. Massive shoutout to Harley who done the majority of the work, preparing all the groundwork and all the edging around the curves and the drainage in prep for the tarmac, you can see he takes great pride in his work, he was always very professional and courteous throughout the job. I'm will certainly be asking Nottingham Landscaping Services to help for my next project! In fact it's already booked in for March. Thank you”
A few of the sleeper retaining walls we've built to level off sloping gardens around Nottingham. More photos going up as we finish current jobs.
It depends on the length, the height and the material. Sleeper and timber walls are usually the most affordable, while block, concrete and stone cost more, especially once a wall gets tall enough to need engineered footings. Send us a photo and rough measurements and we'll give you a price.
There's no single answer. Railway sleepers and timber look natural and go up fast. Brick and concrete blocks are strong and tidy. Natural stone has more character. We'll suggest the one that suits your garden, the height you need and your budget.
We build them to all sorts of heights. Lower walls are straightforward, but once a wall holds back a real weight of soil it needs engineered footings and sometimes building regs sign-off. We'll tell you what yours needs before we start.
Yes, and it's the part people skimp on. Water trapped behind a wall is the main reason they fail, so we put a drainage layer and weep holes behind every wall to let it escape rather than push against the structure.
That's one of the most common reasons people call us. Terracing a slope with one or more retaining walls turns a bank you can't use into level space for a patio, lawn or seating area.
A small sleeper wall can be a day or two. Bigger walls, or ones needing deep footings and drainage, take longer. We'll give you a realistic timescale once we've seen the site.
