Stonebloc retaining walls are a versatile and durable landscaping solution that can enhance the aesthetic appeal of any property while also providing functional benefits. They are particularly popular in New Zealand due to their natural-looking finish and ability to withstand the elements. Not only do they improve the overall appearance of a property, but they also increase its value.
When it comes to housing in New Zealand, there are a few different types to consider. Terrace housing, for example, is a type of housing where a row of houses is built closely together, sharing one or more walls. These houses are typically smaller in size and are a popular option for urban areas where space is limited. Stand-alone houses, on the other hand, are individual houses that are not attached to any other property. These houses are typically larger in size and are popular in suburban and rural areas. Multi-unit housing refers to buildings that contain multiple dwelling units, usually apartments. These are usually popular for high-density housing.

Regardless of the type of housing, Stonebloc retaining walls are an ideal solution for creating functional outdoor spaces. For terrace houses, they can be used to create a sense of privacy and separation between properties while also providing functional benefits such as retaining soil or creating level terraces. For stand-alone houses, they can be used to create raised garden beds, level out uneven areas and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the property. Multi-unit housing buildings can also benefit from Stonebloc retaining walls, they can be used to create more outdoor spaces for the residents, and also can be used as a sound barrier.

(Installing with Stonebloc)
Many existing homeowners often switch to Stonebloc retaining walls as they have experienced issues with their timber retaining walls. Timber retaining walls are prone to rotting, warping and insect infestation, which can cause them to fail over time. Stonebloc retaining walls, on the other hand, are made of concrete and are not susceptible to these issues. They are also more durable and can withstand the elements better, making them a more reliable option for retaining walls.
