Building retaining walls in Burleigh Waters
Most retaining wall enquiries we get from Burleigh Waters start the same way: a sloping yard that nobody uses, or an old wall that has started to lean.
Burleigh Waters is the family heart behind Burleigh, with canal and dry blocks in equal measure.
1980s and 90s low-set brick homes, canal properties and townhouses.
We quote every wall after walking the site, so the price reflects your actual slope, soil and access rather than a rate per metre over the phone.
Retaining wall options in Burleigh Waters
Replacing older walls in established streets
In established suburbs many retaining walls are original treated pine walls that have reached the end of their life. Replacement with concrete sleepers or block is the most common job, often combined with new steps, paving or fencing while the ground is open.
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 Burleigh Waters
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.
