To achieve this, Rogers Little Loaders constructed a 400mm high retaining wall. But a key feature of this wall wasn’t just its height – it also incorporated a built-in drainage system.
Why Drainage Matters in Retaining Walls
An inbuilt drainage system plays a vital role in retaining wall projects. Without proper drainage, water can accumulate behind the wall, putting pressure on it and potentially leading to structural problems.
Here’s how a drainage system works: it channels excess water away from the wall, preventing moisture buildup and soil erosion behind it. This helps safeguard the retaining wall’s integrity in the long run.
Elevated Garden Bed Creates Usable Space
Once the retaining wall with drainage was in place, the Rogers Little Loaders team filled the elevated garden bed with soil. This transformed what may have been unusable space into a prime spot for planting.
The addition of soil created a perfect platform for cultivating a flourishing garden, adding beauty and functionality to the property.
Buffalo Palmetto for Visual Appeal
The project didn’t stop at creating a functional garden bed. To enhance the visual appeal of the entire property, Rogers Little Loaders finished the landscaping with buffalo palmetto.
Buffalo palmetto is a popular choice for Australian landscaping projects due to its low-maintenance requirements and drought resistance. This easy-care grass added a touch of greenery and brought the entire landscape design together.
Combining Functionality and Beauty
By combining a retaining wall with an inbuilt drainage system, Rogers Little Loaders achieved two key goals in this Stafford Heights project. They created a usable space for a garden bed while also ensuring the structural integrity of the wall with proper drainage. The finishing touch of buffalo palmetto provided a visually pleasing addition to the property.
This project exemplifies Rogers Little Loaders’ expertise in designing and constructing functional and aesthetically pleasing landscaping solutions.

To remove the back slope and create and elevated garden bed we made a 400mm high retaining wall with inbuilt drainage system and filled with soil. Finished with buffalo palmetto to the entire property brought the place to life.
