Retaining Wall Construction Melbourne
Professional Retaining Wall Builders
A retaining wall is a structure built to hold back soil and prevent it from moving or collapsing. The team of qualified landscapers at Altar Landscape Construction have built hundreds of different retaining walls in Melbourne, particularly in the Yarra Ranges and Yarra Valley, where there are many steep hillside properties. Altar provides complete retaining wall solutions from design, excavation, site preparation, drainage, and wall construction and specialises in rock retaining walls.
While retaining walls are a foundational feature for the protection of the property, the control of water flow and other practicalities, we believe retaining walls when designed and established with intention can add to the flow and aesthetic of the outdoor space you're creating.
By hiring Altar for your project, you have years of experience and expertise advising on your retaining wall to ensure it is built to code, to last and to enhance your outdoor space.
Types of Retaining Walls
Rock Retaining Walls
Rock walls are our specialty and where it suits the brief, it is our recommendation in many cases. By using this natural feature, it provides the opportunity to turn the required structure into an organic design feature - providing visual interest and textural contrast to a landscape.
Natural stone makes incredibly long lasting and durable retaining walls and though they require more time and skill to develop, Altar has over a decade of experience in ensuring these walls are structurally sound and of the highest quality.
Sleeper Retaining Walls
Timber and concrete sleeper retaining walls are built using treated wooden or concrete sleepers with galvanized steel posts. These retaining walls are perfect for tight areas, where you wish to maximize space. There are many ways to dress these more simplistic walls, including strategic planting, cladding, painting and decorative concrete sleepers.
Please view the gallery below to see examples of these different walls.
