1. How much is the cost of installing retaining walls in Australia?
The answer depends on a lot of factors, including the area size, installation difficulty and materials needed. To give you an idea, feel free to call us or request a quote on our website forms and we will give you a free consultation.
2. What are retaining walls built for?
A retaining wall is put up once the excavation or filling an embankment is done. This is to provide support and to prevent soil from eroding gradually or from collapsing. These retaining walls may be built from different materials, such as reinforced concrete, timber logs, concrete blocks, steel, rock and more. Their structural durability is ideal to support gardens or fill earth in excavation sites and embankments. They also look great!
3. How does one protect retaining walls?
Both new and existing retaining walls must be evaluated regularly by a professional to ensure that it is compliant with the industry standards. This is where a registered building inspection company comes in handy to help you. Since building inspectors are confined only to safety checks of repair or damage services, there’s no room for any conflict of interest or inaccurate reporting just to increase the price.
4. When do you need an engineer for the building of retaining walls?
There are councils that usually advise when an engineer is needed to make the necessary certification that a retaining wall is appropriate. However, it could happen that it will be too late to provide a design if the client has gotten the approval through the council, and lets the engineer stamp it for approval.
As an alternative, there are often smart ways to solve structural engineering problems by going directly to an engineer at the initial design stage.
5. Can you DIY the building of retaining walls?
Not all types of retaining walls can be done yourself, but if you think you have the skills and you have secured your council permissions, a wood, timber or concrete block retaining wall could be the best DIY project.
6. What are the best materials for building retaining walls?
By far, concrete sleepers are the most popular choice for retaining walls. They are durable, long lasting, and can be styled in many different ways.
On the other hand, timber is also popular but may not last as long. Rock or stone retaining walls are great because they provide the durability that is natural to stone materials with the added aesthetic features. With all these considerations, the material best for you would depend on the customer.
