CLEAR STEPS. A CONSIDERED BUILD.

From the first call
to the finished wall.

A practical process that starts with your site and the outcome you want.

01

Tell us what you’re planning

Send your suburb, a short description, approximate wall length and height, and any useful photos. Let us know whether this is a new build, renovation or replacement.

02

Assess the site and agree the scope

We discuss site levels, access, boundaries, ground conditions and drainage. Any engineering or approval requirements are considered for the specific project before work proceeds.

03

Prepare for the installation

Set-out, excavation and footing preparation are planned around the agreed wall design and site access. Supporting earthworks are part of the retaining wall scope.

04

Install the concrete sleeper wall

Posts, sleepers and the agreed drainage and backfill form the installation. We complete the work set out in your project scope.

SUPPORTING YOUR RETAINING WALL

The details that
shape the build.

Site preparation

Excavation, levels and footing preparation for the agreed retaining wall installation.

Access planning

Side paths, gates, driveways and nearby structures are considered when planning machinery and materials access.

Drainage & backfill

Drainage and backfill are considered alongside the wall, based on the project’s site conditions and scope.

These works support our concrete sleeper retaining installations. Send us the details of your retaining wall project to discuss what is needed.

BEFORE YOU BUILD

A few common
questions.

Have something specific in mind? We’re happy to talk through your project.

What should I send with my enquiry?

Your suburb, approximate wall length and height, a brief description and site photos are a useful starting point. Mention any narrow access or existing wall that needs replacing.

Can you assess a site with limited access?

Send photos of the access route and its approximate width with your enquiry. We can discuss whether the site is suitable and what the installation may involve.

Do you provide landscaping?

Our specialty is concrete sleeper retaining walls. Ground preparation and supporting works are discussed as part of the retaining wall scope.

A GOOD PLACE TO START

Let’s talk about
your retaining wall.

Tell us your suburb, what you’re planning and roughly how long and high your wall will be. Photos are welcome. Exact measurements can come later.

Services

Earthworks & Site Preparation

Earthworks & Site Preparation

Proper retaining walls start with correct ground preparation. We handle cut-and-fill, benching, and site shaping to ensure retaining walls are built on stable, well-prepared foundations that manage load, levels, and long-term ground movement.

Bobcat & Tight Access

Bobcat & Tight Access

We construct retaining walls in tight side yards, narrow boundaries, and restricted access sites using compact machinery. This allows precise excavation, minimal disruption, and controlled installation where larger equipment can’t operate.

Excavator & Trenching

Excavator & Trenching

Accurate trenching is critical for footing depth, post embedment, and drainage. Our excavator work ensures retaining walls are installed to correct depths with proper ag-pipe, drainage gravel, and fall to prevent water build-up and premature wall failure.
