retaining walls brisbane

Functional, long lasting, durable and structurally sound. Retaining walls offer the perfect solution for boundary perimeters, gardens, sloping sites and areas susceptible to collapse or erosion by supporting soil at different elevations on either side of its structure.  

Besser block retaining wall systems remain the most hard-wearing and reliable option to bind and support soil. Not only are these structures practical and necessary  for certain areas, they can be used as an aesthetically pleasing addition to your landscape to create space, level and dimension. Block retaining walls can be rendered, painted or tiled to add a decorative look. 

Searching for a solution to your sloping or eroded block? Looking for an eye catching decorative feature which is also functional and durable? A retaining wall may be the option for you. We can assist you with all aspects of block, stone and concrete sleeper retaining walls.

In addition to retaining walls, we offer freestanding block wall solutions for privacy or security purposes around the perimeter of your property, garden, or pool area for that added peace of mind. 

All block walls require solid concrete and steel footings installed by us prior to construction to underpin soil and pressure. The width and depth of the footing in addition to strength of concrete will be determined based upon the size of your wall and ground conditions. We reinforce the wall with steel every 400mm, and core-fill the blocks with concrete  to ensure strength, durability and longevity. 

Your new wall may require certification from a structural engineer and building permission. For your preliminary planning, please visit the below link for more information or contact us to discuss.
