Retaining Walls in Ferny Hills

Leaning sleeper walls rebuilt and small new walls built, with the drainage behind them sorted.

The hill in Ferny Hills means most backyards are terraced, and many sleeper walls from the 1980s and 90s are now leaning or rotting. I rebuild them in treated pine, concrete sleepers or block, with proper drainage behind so they last this time.

I'm based in Ferny Hills, so I can usually come past to quote the same day.

WHAT I GET CALLED FOR

Typical retaining walls jobs in Ferny Hills

Leaning 1980s sleeper walls rebuilt

Ag pipe and gravel drainage behind walls

Garden steps built into steep yards

Ferny Hills homes

Most of the suburb was built through the 1970s and 80s: lowset and highset brick, chamferboard and mixed-clad homes on steep, leafy blocks. That age of house has a predictable list of jobs: timber decks and pergolas reaching the end of their life, sleeper retaining walls leaning, and original aluminium windows and sliding doors needing new rollers and screens.

Local knowledge

I know which streets back onto the reserve and collect leaves in the gutters, where the soil moves after heavy rain, and which older homes still have the original fibro sheeting that needs care when you're patching or demolishing. That local context goes into every quote.

How much soil and old wall has to be removed

In Queensland, walls over 1 metre, or walls close to a building or boundary under load, generally need engineering and approval. I work on walls under that and tell you if yours is over it.
