Retaining walls for Bundall properties
If you are looking at a retaining wall in Bundall, the first question is not which sleeper looks best. It is what the wall has to hold back and where the water will go.
Bundall is the Gold Coast's business district, so the work here splits between riverfront residential renovations and commercial tenancy fit-outs and maintenance.
Nerang River-front homes on the eastern streets, low-rise apartments, and a large commercial precinct along Bundall Road with offices requiring refurbishment, partitioning and joinery.
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 wall work for Bundall homes
Garden walls near canals and lakes
On canal and lake frontage blocks, landscape retaining walls are usually about level changes between the house, the lawn and the waterfront edge. Revetment walls on the water itself are a separate specialist structure and not something we build, but garden walls, raised beds and walls around pool and entertaining areas are. Groundwater, sandy soils and drainage fall need to be considered carefully on low-lying sites.
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.
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 Bundall
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.
