Retaining walls for Bonogin properties

Most retaining wall enquiries we get from Bonogin start the same way: a sloping yard that nobody uses, or an old wall that has started to lean.

Bonogin is hinterland acreage behind Mudgeeraba, with large blocks, long driveways and homes built to take in valley views.

Pole homes, timber-framed acreage residences and 1990s brick homes, most with substantial decks, verandahs and outbuildings.

Where your wall is likely to need engineering or approval because of its height, load or position, we tell you at the inspection and include it in the quote.

Retaining Walls for a Bonogin property

Walls we build and replace in Bonogin

Retaining on larger rural-residential blocks

On acreage, walls are often longer and higher, cut into slopes to create house pads, driveways, sheds or lawn areas. Machinery access is usually good, but long runs of wall, surface water coming off the hill and the length of drainage lines all need planning. Higher walls and walls supporting driveways or buildings are more likely to need engineering.

Excavation and spoil removal

We plan machinery access, how much soil comes out, where it goes and how the site is protected. For tight side access, smaller machines and more hand work are priced in from the start.

Excavation and spoil removal, Orange Projects

Steps and garden beds built in

A new wall often needs steps through it or a garden bed along it. Designing those with the wall gives a cleaner result than adding them later.

Concrete sleeper walls in Bonogin

Concrete sleepers between galvanised steel posts are the most common wall we build. They will not rot, they suit most residential heights, and woodgrain or stone-look faces make them easy to match to the house. Post spacing and footing depth are set to the height and whatever sits above the wall.

Timber sleeper retaining walls

Treated pine and hardwood sleepers remain the most economical option for low garden walls. We use timber rated for ground contact, detail it to shed water, and are honest about its shorter lifespan compared with concrete.
