Yards Finished, Properly Built
At Retain by Theo, our landscaping in Wollongong turns a bare or reshaped block into a yard that works all year. We start with the ground itself, setting levels and falls so water moves where it should, then build the structure that holds everything in place. From there we lay quality garden soil and top soil, roll fresh turf, form raised garden beds, cut in pathways, set stepping stones and spread decorative pebbles, then finish edges cleanly so lawn and mulch stay where you put them. Ag pipe and subsurface drainage go in wherever the ground holds water, and we feed new beds and turf so they establish quickly. Our crews work to the same standards as our retaining walls.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Our Landscaping Covers
We handle the whole yard, from the structure holding the ground back to the turf, soils and finishes on top. Every element below is planned, priced and built by our own crews across Wollongong and the Illawarra.
- Structural landscaping: we set levels, benches and terraces so the yard holds its shape, then build the walls, steps and hard edges that carry the load behind them.
- Edging: we install steel, concrete or masonry edging along lawns, beds and paths, keeping mulch and turf apart so the yard still looks sharp after a wet season.
- Ground cover: we prepare and spread mulch, bark or gravel ground cover to hold moisture in beds, suppress weeds and stop soil washing off slopes during heavy rain.
- Turf: we grade, level and prepare the base, then lay fresh turf tight and rolled so the lawn knits down evenly without dips, gaps or drainage problems.
- Garden soil: we bring in quality garden soil blended for planting, spread to a workable depth so roots establish quickly rather than struggling in compacted subgrade.
- Top soil: we supply and spread screened top soil under new lawns and across low spots, giving turf and seed the depth they need to hold water and grow.
- Pathways: we form and finish pathways in concrete, paving or compacted gravel, set to a fall that sheds water and links the parts of the yard you actually use.
- Stepping stones: we set stepping stones on a stable bedding layer, spaced to a natural stride and levelled so they stay put underfoot through years of use.
- Decorative pebbles: we lay decorative pebbles over prepared and weed matted ground for low maintenance beds, borders and strips where lawn would never thrive anyway.
- Raised garden beds: we build raised garden beds in timber, sleeper or masonry, lined and filled with quality soil so planting starts well above wet or poor ground.
- Drainage: we run surface and subsurface drainage across the yard, collecting water at the low points and taking it away to a legal discharge point instead of your beds.
- Ag pipe: we lay slotted ag pipe in gravel filled trenches wrapped in geotextile, pulling groundwater out of heavy clay before it drowns turf roots and garden beds.
- Fertiliser: we apply the right fertiliser to new turf, beds and ground cover at installation, giving everything the nutrients it needs to establish through its first season.
