We solve outdoor structure and water problems
A retaining wall is not just a wall. It needs to work with the land, the levels, the soil, the water and the way the space will be used after the work is complete.
Arletos Constructions helps homeowners manage sloping blocks, failing walls, poor drainage and unusable outdoor areas by combining practical excavation, retaining wall construction and drainage knowledge.
Common problems we help fix
- Sloping yards that are difficult to use
- Erosion and soil movement
- Water pooling around outdoor areas
- Collapsing garden edges or old retaining walls
- Poor side or backyard access
- Old timber walls that are failing
- Messy backyard levels
- Outdoor areas that need to be made safer, flatter or more practical

Why drainage behind retaining walls matters
Water pressure is one of the biggest risks for retaining walls. If drainage is ignored, water can build up behind the wall and place extra pressure on the structure. Over time, that can lead to movement, bowing, failure or expensive repairs.
Jonathan’s plumbing and drainage knowledge gives Arletos a stronger practical advantage on this type of work. The wall is planned together with the drainage, not treated as an afterthought.
