Building retaining walls in Currumbin Waters
Retaining walls are a big part of the outdoor work we quote in Currumbin Waters, whether that is a new wall, a replacement or a repair.
Currumbin Waters is the quieter family side of the Currumbin catchment, with larger blocks and long-term owners who renovate to stay rather than to sell.
1980s and 90s low-set brick homes, some larger split-level houses on the elevated streets, and creekside properties. Kitchen and bathroom renovations, flooring replacements and covered outdoor areas are the usual scopes.
You get a fixed written price that covers excavation, materials, drainage, backfill and spoil removal, with any engineering listed separately.
Retaining wall work for Currumbin Waters homes
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.
Drainage behind the wall
Slotted ag pipe at the base, free-draining gravel behind the wall and a discharge point that does not simply move the water onto the next property. This is the part of the job that decides how long the wall lasts.
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 Currumbin 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.
