Retaining Walls in The Gap

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

In The Gap, steep blocks off Waterworks Road and near the reservoir rely on retaining walls and garden steps. I rebuild failing walls, build stairs into slopes and sort drainage so the next big storm doesn't wash the garden down the hill.

The Gap is about fifteen minutes from my base in Ferny Hills, over the hill via Settlement Road.

WHAT I GET CALLED FOR

Typical retaining walls jobs in The Gap

Garden stairs built into steep yards

Storm-damaged walls rebuilt with drainage

Terraces rebuilt on large sloping blocks

Homes in The Gap

The suburb grew through the 1960s and 70s with brick and timber split-level homes on large sloping blocks, many with elevated timber decks and carports. Blocks close to Enoggera Reservoir and the bushland edge are shaded and damp, which drives a lot of the maintenance work: gutters, mould, rot in exposed timber and paths that turn green every wet season.

Working on the hill

Elevated decks and steep yards need the right approach to access and safety. I've done plenty of hillside work across the north-west and price each job on its own terrain rather than a flat rate.

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.
