I can only tell you in a month or even two In the meantime, there are HEAPS of people. You can find some of them via the net, but also go to a landscaping centre and ask. Amber has some on their list, but most of other places too. Many do it for about $300/m2. I am not sure if that includes everything (like the ag pipe etc.) but that's cheap IMO.

What sort of machinery do they use for the trenching? Do you need to get a small bobcat in? Is your house being fully handed over before the reatining walls get done?

You have plenty of time IMO - unless, of course, your builder allows you to start in parallel with them building the house. As I said, I don't know if the 300 includes everything. From my experience, I can be pretty sure that no landscaper will attempt to dig anything bigger than a fruit bowl by hand. So, most likely they will use large machinery - which I assume also depends on the size & location of the wall you need. BUT, what is it that you need?? And where the wall needs to be? At the back, or the front, or the sides, or more than one location? My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Re: Retaining Walls?
