Building a Retaining Walls is an art. Design is critical for success. Drainage system that functions properly are paramount. Also, Landscaping services are vital. They enhance outdoor spaces and create stunning environments.
There are many different materials in Gold Coast Retaining Walls which can be made from, that all have different construction methods. Sleepers Concrete & Timber, Natural Stone, Link Walls to name a few.
Mr. Mac’s Landscapes are licensed, police checked and fully insured and we have everything in between. We have constructed 100s of Retaining Walls in Gold Coast that have stood that test of successfully constructed Basalt Rock walls 2700mm high to link Walls 300mm high and time.
Treated Pine sleepers were all the rage when I commenced Landscaping Services in Gold Coast back in the early 80s.We use to buck the trend and build our walls out of a grade railway sleepers. They were heavier, harder to cut, but they looked better and lasted longer.
Termites seemed to rise out of nowhere and bush rock or sandstone walls were a hit. They still are a personal favorite of mine. Besser Blocks and link walls saw the rise of masonry Retaining Walls and they work well usually in formal environments.
Mr. Mac’s Landscapes have successfully constructed all of the Retaining Walls above for decades and never had a failure. That should instill confidence for clients
NATURAL STONE WALLS:
Look fantastic in a natural environment and last forever. They can be curved or straight. Timber is a fantastic accompaniment. Height isn’t an issue and can be easily constructed a couple of metres high. It’s all about the environment and how an area looks.
CONCRETE SLEEPER WALLS:
Are very popular at the moment. The curse of termites have mostly put an end to treated pineand concrete is the new winner. Decorative faces soften the look of a plain concrete sleeper, with both types having their place in a Landscaping Services. Life of a concrete sleeper walls will be decades when constructed properly to code, with all the correct drainage.
SPLIT FACE REATINER WALLS:
Work fantastic in a formal setting, they are a feature in themselves when designed properly. Steps are a feature and quick to build, as are the Retaining Walls. There are many different styles and colors on the market. There is sure to be one that works best for you.
Back when “Adam was a boy” and I began my career with Landscaping Services. Timber fences ruled. The options where, do we butt palings together or overlap. Concrete posts came onto the market to extend the life cycle. Along came color bond and a whole array of colors hit the market. As people became more adventurous and discovered to make a feature of their fences and a whole array of materials hit the market. Now we can build modular fences that look like bricks and mortar in a few days at a fraction of the cost. Our clients love the idea that we can deliver a total package of Landscaping Services and they only have to deal with one tradesman. Timber screens and laser cut panels are very popular and we have received rave reviews on our finished products.
Maintenance Tips
The first step is to add gypsum to the soil. Apply gypsum at 1 kilo per square metre, digging this into the top 10-15cm well. Gypsum works on the clay, breaking it up into small crumbly pieces making it easier to work with and also improves drainage.
The next step is to build up the soil with plenty of organic matter.
Change Keep lawnmowers & wildlife clear from trees, too.
Moisture issues around a home can become a serious problem if they are not dealt with. Moisture can be caused by faulty plumbing like old pipes or even downpipes not properly connected.
Fully functional drainage system is a must these days.
Change Plants are in clay soil, do not sit in water. Too.
Drainage gravels are generally used to facilitate the movement of water around your property or more to the point, away from it altogether! The most common usage is behind retaining walls or sub-surface drainage trenches running underneath lawns and gardens. Drainage gravel is essentially used in any location where you need water to run freely and with minimal resistance.
