How we do retaining walls

A retaining wall is structural work, so we build it that way: correct footing depth, galvanised steel posts set in concrete, drainage behind the wall and clean backfill. Customers have trusted us with walls from a few metres of garden edging up to a 62 metre run standing 1.8 to 2 metres high.

Brisbane's north has plenty of hard shale and shallow boulders. We bring the machinery to dig through it and the patience to keep every wall straight and level.

“Cashmere Landscaping built me a 62mtr long and 1.8 to 2.0m high retaining wall on my property, their work efforts and methods used were very positive and strongly customer supportive, my district in Brisbane is well known for the difficulties of digging holes due to the hard shale and shallow boulder problems. The team performed very well and tackled every challenge directly and positively. I am very happy with their work efforts and would strongly recommend them and not hesitate to use them again.”

“Yasir and his team did a fantastic job building a 20m long x 1m high retaining wall with 1.8m high pine-lap fence on top. They were always on time and finished efficiently, despite some tough digging and tight access. They were great to deal with and cleaned up thoroughly on completion. I would definitely use Cashmere Landscaping again.”

FAQ

Retaining Wallsquestions, answered.

Do I need council approval for a retaining wall in Brisbane?

In Queensland a retaining wall generally needs building approval and engineering if it is more than 1 metre high, or if it is within 1.5 metres of a building or another wall and carries extra load. We check this on the site visit and arrange the engineering when it is needed.

Concrete sleepers or timber sleepers?

Concrete sleepers cost more up front but will not rot, warp or get termites, so they last far longer. Treated pine is cheaper and suits low garden edging. We will show you both prices in your quote.

Can you replace my old timber retaining wall?

Yes. We remove the old wall, dispose of the timber, re-dig the footings and rebuild in concrete sleepers or new timber, and can put a new fence on top at the same time.
