Limestone walls in Perth
A classic Perth choice. We hand-lay cream limestone blocks on a concrete footing to create a strong, clean retaining wall that suits both modern and traditional homes.
Limestone retaining walls, laid by hand
Limestone has been a popular choice for Perth retaining walls for years, and it’s easy to see why. The natural cream colour works well with Perth homes and gardens, and the stone develops a softer finish as it weathers.
Each block is laid by hand on a properly prepared concrete footing. We take the time to get the levels right, keep the face of the wall consistent and finish the top with a capping course for a clean result.

Limestone retaining wall FAQs
Is limestone more expensive than modular?
Usually a little, because limestone takes longer to lay by hand. The difference is often smaller than people expect and depends on the length and height of the wall. If you’re comparing the two, we can price both options.
Does limestone need sealing?
Not to last. Some people choose to seal their wall to help reduce staining around lawns or garden beds, but plenty of Perth limestone walls are left unsealed and hold up just fine.
Will it go green or blotchy?
Limestone can pick up some marking where sprinklers hit it, just like other masonry. Keeping reticulation off the face of the wall is the simplest way to help prevent it.
