What a retaining wall needs to do in Gaven
Retaining walls are a big part of the outdoor work we quote in Gaven, whether that is a new wall, a replacement or a repair.
Gaven is a central-north suburb of newer estates and semi-rural pockets, well positioned between Nerang and Helensvale.
2000s estate homes ready for their first significant refresh, along with older acreage properties needing deck, pergola and timber repair work.
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 options in Gaven
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.
Block and tiered garden walls
Segmental block walls suit curved lines and tiered gardens. They need a compacted base and drainage aggregate, and depending on the system and height, reinforcement back into the soil, so we plan the excavation footprint and access around that.
Replacing a leaning or rotted wall
When posts lean, sleepers bulge or soil washes through, repair rarely lasts. We remove the old wall in stages, support the soil, and rebuild with new posts, footings and drainage.
Repairs where they make sense
A rotted sleeper, a failed capping or a blocked drain can often be repaired if the posts and footings are sound. We check before recommending repair, and say so if replacement is the better spend.
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.
