What a retaining wall needs to do in Tallai
If you are looking at a retaining wall in Tallai, the first question is not which sleeper looks best. It is what the wall has to hold back and where the water will go.
Tallai is hinterland acreage with views back over the coast. Homes are large, individual, and often need renovation work that respects an unusual original design.
Split-level and pole-frame homes on steep acreage blocks, many built in the 1980s and 90s with substantial timber decks and elevated outlooks now due for rebuild.
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 Tallai
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.
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 Tallai
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.
