Timber, concrete block & engineered retaining walls—built with correct drainage, footing depth, and compliance. From garden terraces to heavy-duty solutions.
We construct retaining walls that actually do the job—proper footing depths, posts at the right centres, correct drainage behind the wall, and tidy finishes that lift your section.
From tidy timber walls to engineered block systems and stepped terraces, we manage excavation, spoil removal, and compliance to keep your project simple.
Kennedy Contracting (MKC) and AreaTech are owned and operated by the same team. That means one point of contact, one standard of workmanship, and a seamless build from fence line to finished landscaping. If you want it simple and sorted, this is your one stop shop.
From small upgrades to complete outdoor makeovers, we design, coordinate, and deliver the full scope—start to finish.
