01Services

Whatever the wall, one standard.

From a garden sleeper wall to a structural Dincel boundary, every wall we build is delivered to engineering specification — with the drainage and footings done properly, because that’s where walls fail.

  • BW–01

    Concrete sleeper walls

    Galvanised steel posts concreted into footings, with reinforced concrete sleepers between. A durable, cost-effective wall for boundaries, garden terraces and driveway cuts.

  • BW–02

    Block and masonry walls

    Reinforced, core-filled block walls for higher loads and tighter boundaries — finished as face block or ready for render and cladding.

  • BW–03

    Sandstone and feature walls

    Sandstone and feature finishes for walls that sit front and centre, built on the same engineered footings and drainage as everything else.

  • BW–04

    Dincel retaining walls

    Polymer permanent formwork filled with reinforced concrete. Fast to install, slim in profile and well suited to basements and space-tight boundaries.

  • BW–05

    Failed wall replacement

    Leaning, cracked or collapsed walls assessed, removed and rebuilt — with the underlying cause, usually drainage or footings, fixed properly.

  • BW–06

    Drainage and backfill

    Ag pipe, drainage aggregate, geotextile and compacted backfill. The work you don’t see, and the most common reason walls fail when it’s skipped.
