Retaining Walls
Retaining Walls
What sets us apart with excavations and retaining walls is the diversity of our team and the scale of our plant and equipment. Our team of qualified and highly skilled professionals encompasses LBP builders, a Civil Engineer and Civil foremen with over 20 years of experience. There is an exceptional amount of skills and experience bound into our tight nit team. With this experience comes the ability to plan, liaise design, set out, manage, build and handover the most complex and challenging of projects.
Our Range of Skills Benefits You!
Our Director Scott knows his stuff. He has a real passion for finding the right solution for your construction problems. The Engineers and Architects we work with are extremely focused on customer satisfaction. They are willing to consider alternative solutions, which can greatly benefit project duration and cost. We have a large range of plant with excavators ranging from 1.7T to 15 T and tipper trucks ranging from 2T to 12T, in addition to other motorised plant designed for hill work, augers, breakers and survey equipment. This means you will get the right tool for the job every time. With our LBP builders and extremely experienced Civil foremen, we can set out and manage all our works. Often earthworks contractors need to work alongside a builder for some of the more technical aspects of this work. We do not, since we are also the builders. Whether we are working for a private client or building company you can have confidence that the finished product is built exactly to the plans and specifications. Often we offer packages to clients where we get a new build ready for frames performing the earthworks, any retaining walls, foundations and drainage in-house.
All Types of Retaining Walls
We have experience in building all types of retaining walls – timber pole, anchored, king post, concrete block and in situ, gabion, crib, sleeper, reinforced banks and terra mesh. We have worked on the most challenging of slopes, and our operators have maintained a high level of safety and competency while doing so. We are experienced in all foundation types and have an experienced team of placers in-house. If you have a retaining wall or foundations you need repairing or a section you are looking to build on, please get in touch with our friendly team of experts. If you want to take full advantage of our expertise, get us involved in the planning and design to potentially make some real savings.
Crib Wall
Crib walls are great for situations where you need to stablise a slope or have gravel on site you can utilise.
Block Retaining Wall
Looking to maximise space? Create a waterproof barrier? Then a block retaining wall might be the answer you are looking for.
King Post Wall
These are a great solution when space is tight and you have a large amount to retain. The timber slotted into steel looks great too!
Rock Retaining Wall
The natural look can really add to a terraced garden! Rock walls are a great solution when you have to break rock on site to build.
Gabion Wall
Gabion walls are great for situations where you need to stablise a slope or have rock on site.
Combination
Sometimes the site calls for a creative solution to work in with group type. The final aesthetic in this garden is beautiful.
Landscape Timber Wall
The classic timber wall is a great solution when you don’t have rock to contend with. Often with a smaller wall in the garden, clients choose square posts if the budget allows.
Classic Timber Wall
The most common type of retaining wall. A great budget friendly solution for achieving flat areas.
