Fences and Retaining Walls

Strength, structure, and style for your outdoor spaces. 

Fences and retaining walls do more than define boundaries - they shape your property, provide essential support, and add privacy and style to your landscape.

At Sherlock Landscaping, we design and build high-quality fencing and retaining wall solutions tailored to the unique terrain and climate of Nelson and the wider Tasman region. Whether you’re managing a steep slope, creating usable garden space, or simply adding security and structure, our experienced team can guide you through the best options for your site and needs.

Fencing Solutions

A well-designed fence does more than mark a boundary - it adds privacy, protects your property, and lifts street appeal. We install everything from classic timber paling fences to modern composite or steel options, all built with durability and function in mind.

Whether you need fencing for security, pets, pool compliance, or simply peace of mind, we’ll help you find a solution that’s practical, good-looking, and built to suit Nelson’s local conditions.

Retaining Walls

We build walls that are made to last - and look great doing it. From timber and concrete to gabion or stone, we’ll recommend the right materials and engineering to ensure your retaining wall performs over time while blending seamlessly into your landscape.

Typical reasons to install a retaining wall:

• Managing sloped sections or uneven ground

• Preventing erosion and soil movement

• Creating tiered garden beds or flat lawn areas

• Adding structure to driveways, paths, and outdoor living zones
