We recently had a concrete sleeper retaining wall done by Jake and Brittany at Scenic Rim Retaining walls. Our wall had to be taken down and fully re-built due to it leaning quite bad. We couldn't be happier with the results, Jake and Brittany ran an exceptional personalised service during the whole process, Brittany made the paperwork easy, and Jake handled the entire build from quote to completion his attention to detail was outstanding they are genuine, hard-working people 10/10!

Who is responsible for a retaining wall on a boundary?

Talk to us about your wall
Six short questions, about two minutes. Your details come first, so if anything cuts out halfway we can still call you back.

*Mandatory field
The starting point
Queensland’s
dividing fences legislation↗ covers fences and trees, and says in so many words that a fence isn't a retaining wall. The
Queensland Government’s own guide↗ says the same. Retaining wall disputes are decided on common law, case by case, which is why you get a different answer from everybody you ask.
The general principle
Responsibility follows the benefit. That's the thread through all of it.
- If you cut into your land and need to hold your neighbour’s soil at its natural level, the wall is usually yours
- If you filled your land and need to hold the added soil, the wall is usually yours
- A wall wholly inside one property usually sits with that owner, though who benefits from it can still change the answer
- A wall straddling the boundary may be shared, depending on who it benefits
Before it gets expensive
If there's money or a neighbour in dispute, get legal advice. We build walls, we don't settle boundaries. What we can do is come out, measure the levels, and tell you factually which side the ground was cut or filled on, which is usually the thing the argument is actually about.

Can you put a fence on top of a retaining wall?
Yes, on fence brackets fixed to the wall's steel posts. They go on before the top two sleepers, so say so before the wall goes up.

Walls don't fail because the sleepers were wrong
Water gets behind the wall and has nowhere to go. Everything else is a symptom.

The questions we get asked most
Retaining walls are not covered by Queensland's dividing fences legislation. That Act is about fences and trees, so retaining wall disputes are decided case by case on common law.
The thread through all of it is that responsibility follows the benefit. If you cut into your land, or you filled it, the wall is usually yours.
29 people have written about what it was like, and they all write about the same things.
The thing people tell us most is that they can’t believe it’s only the two of us. After that, it’s how fast Jake works, how clean he leaves the site, and the quality of the wall.
I had my retaining wall rebuilt over 12 months ago and overall, I was happy with the work. The wall itself was done well, although I was a little disappointed with the finish along the bottom and the amount of rock and dirt left throughout the yard. However, the weather was pretty wet and miserable at the time, so I do understand that this would have made things more difficult. Other than that, Jake and Brittany were a pleasure to deal with and made the whole process a positive experience overall. If I needed any further retaining walls rebuilt I would certainly go through these guys.
We had Jake come and replace our old timber wall. We were very impressed right from the start dealing with Brittany in the office to the end when Jake completed the work. Great communication and the quality of work was 10/10. Thank you!
We couldn't be happier with the three retaining walls Jake did for us. From start to finish, Jake was fantastic to deal with. His communication was excellent. He always kept us in the loop and made sure we knew what was happening throughout the whole process. The quality of the workmanship is amazing, and the finished walls look even better than we imagined. Jake was reliable, professional and clearly takes a lot of pride in his work. He also left everything neat and tidy once the job was finished. We are extremely happy with the end result and would absolutely recommend Jake to anyone looking for quality retaining wall work and would use him again in the future if needed. Thanks again!
Jake and Brittany were fantastic to deal with. Prompt, reliable and friendly. Couldn't fault them. Jake's experience and knowledge has changed our whole backyard. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Scenic Rim Retaining Wall Builders!
Jake and Brittany of Scenic Rim Retaining Walls built a replacement retaining wall for us in Boonah. They were a pleasure to work with, always punctual and built the wall to our expectations and left the site very tidy. We would have no hesitation in recommending them. Dick and Lyn Atkinson.
Really happy with the job these guys did! They got everything done quicker than expected and did an amazing job. The whole team were great to deal with from start to finish, and their price was the best we found as well. Couldn't recommend them enough. We'll definitely be using them again and recommending them to friends and family!
We're extremely happy with our new retaining wall and found the whole experience really easy from start to finish. Communication throughout the process was excellent, and the quality of the build is fantastic! This was a large section and also involved removing the old retaining wall and fence, so we really appreciated how efficiently everything was handled. We would definitely recommend Scenic Rim Retaining Wall Builders to anyone looking for a quality retaining wall.
I used Scenic Rim Retaining Walls, to construct my new colourbond fence & retaining wall. Their service was very prompt, and I was very happy with the end results. Brittany was amazing to deal with on the phone and in sending colour charts and different wall brochures to look at. Jake arrived when he said he would, and it was all done so quickly. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing this type of work to be done. Their quote came in a lot cheaper than two others I had been referred to. Very happy with the whole process 👍🙂
Jake did a wonderful job in very wet, slippery steep conditions, their was so much mud but he just kept going to get it done for us. The old rotten timber walls were taken out first, highly recommend his work and ethic.
Excellent communication, Jake knows what he's talking about and 1 year later still looks as great as it did after being installed! Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Great job and on budget We are very happy with the sleeper wall created by Jake from Scenic Rim looks good and functional could not recommend highly enough David and Diane Pacific Pines
Great 5 star service, quick to respond, and happy to answer all questions. Fence was completed very quickly and it looks great. It's better than expected. If fencing and retaining are required, look no further. Thank you
This man says what he does.. and does what he says. Possibly even better! Fast and thorough.
Cannot recommend them enough. They are reliable and show up on time, every time. High quality results at reasonable price. Very professional. We will be using them again for future projects.
Excellent workmanship. Methodical and detailed. Could not recommend higher.
I can't express how happy I am with my retaining wall. After having issues contacting other companies I'm glad I went with Scenic Rim Retaining Wall Builders. The quality of the work is above and beyond what I expected. The owner and his wife were nothing but professional and extremely helpful putting my mind at ease after having to deal with dodgy trades in the past.
Professional skilled operator. Did a fantastic job in tight access site. Quick turn around from quote to completion. Would use again.
We couldn't be happier with the retaining wall Scenic Rim Retaining Wall Builders built around our shed slab. Jake and Britney were accommodating to our timeframe and needs, ensuring the job was completed on time before our shed build. They were easy to communicate with, very accommodating, and always showed up on time! Jake really knows his stuff, great workmanship and a quality build. They made sure everything was completed to a high standard, on budget, and looks fantastic. The wall is solid, and it's exactly what we asked for. Highly recommend them if you're looking for reliable, quality work!
Brilliant job done by Jake and Brittney, both worked extremely hard putting our retaining wall up which was not easy considering our terrible terrain and it looks absolutely fabulous. Very competitive pricing. Would highly recommend them. - John Gill
Amazing job on retaining wall. Both Jake and Brittany were friendly and very helpful. Very happy with finished job and would highly recommend.
Jake and Brittany replaced a 29m x 1m high retaining for us. They were super easy to deal with from start to finish, were competitive price wise and we are stoked with the results. Highly recommended.
Had a great experience with Jacob from Scenic Rim Retaining Wall Builders. Would definitely do business again.
Amazing retaining wall builders! Jake and Brittany are top class in what they do and easy to communicate/work with. If you're looking to build a retaining wall, I strongly reccomend these guys.
We recently had Jake, of Scenic Rim Retaining Walls complete a retaining wall project at our home, and we couldn't be happier with the result. Jake was incredibly knowledgeable from the very first visit, he gave us practical advice for an ongoing issue we'd been dealing with and explained everything clearly so we could make confident financial decisions. He arrived exactly when scheduled, worked efficiently, and left the site tidy each day. I appreciated that he recommended a separate fencing specialist for Stage 2 of the job. After spending hours researching so many businesses, it was refreshing to divide the project between experts rather than handing the job over to one company. It gave us better control of the budget, no wasted days, and the retaining wall was completed in less than two days. Both Jake and Brittany stayed in contact throughout the process, sourced the exact colour and brand we wanted, and made the whole experience incredibly easy. Jake had all the right machinery, handled the removal of the old debris, and the workmanship is outstanding. Highly recommend this professional, reliable, and genuinely helpful business.

Reviews published on Google. Names as the reviewers gave them.
Why people trust us with this
Jake has more than 12 years in the industry, and he and Brittany started the business in 2023.
The line holds
Set out with string lines, then galvanised posts concreted with 32 MPa concrete from the plant. We use the right auger for the job: 450 mm on some walls, 300 mm on others. A boundary wall is looked at from both sides for decades.
The fence sits right on top of it
We don't build fences, but we leave the wall straight and the levels right, and we can put you in touch with a fencing contractor we trust.
Your neighbour hears it from you
We don't approach neighbours. We'd only need to go through their place if that's the only way in, and you'd know before we started.
Jake builds it
The person who quotes your wall is the person who builds it, on site from about 6:30, with no crew you've never met.
