Retaining Walls in Mitchelton

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

Mitchelton's yards are gentler than the hills, but older homes often have old garden walls and small terraces that need replacing during a renovation. I rebuild these in timber or block and tidy up the yard around them.

Mitchelton is about ten minutes from my base in Ferny Hills.

Mitchelton homes

The streets around Blackwood Street and Osborne Road are a mix of pre-war Queenslanders and 1950s timber cottages, with brick homes and newer townhouses further out towards Brookside. The older timber homes are being renovated at a steady rate, which creates constant small jobs: stripping out, patching, repainting and fixing the details the big trades leave behind.

Working with old timber

Character homes reward patience. I match existing profiles where it's practical, treat rot properly rather than painting over it, and tell you honestly when something needs a builder or a licensed trade instead.

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.
