Retaining walls in Melbourne's west
We cut the bank back, build the wall to line, and leave the ground above or below it flat and usable, across Melton and Melbourne's west in Victoria, Australia. One quote covers the excavation and the wall. We run the machine ourselves, so it isn't dry hire.
- The cut and the wall from the one outfit.
- Sleeper walls built plumb and to line.
- Spoil spread on site or carted off.
What to look at before the wall gets backfilled
The part of a retaining wall that decides how long it stands is buried the day after it goes up. So look at it while the hole is still open, on our job or anybody's. There should be room dug out behind the wall, not just enough to stand the posts in.
Behind that, drainage. Something for water to run into and somewhere for it to go, rather than soil packed straight against the timber. Take a photo of the back of the wall before it gets filled. If there's ever an argument about the wall later, that photo is the argument.
What the job involves
Excavated and built to hold back a slope and give you a level yard.
