We Build Retaining Walls in Murwillumbah

There are numerous ways you can prevent the encroachment of weeds. One particularly effective method is to place an underlayment between the rocks and the soil. There is a wide variety of underlayment options to choose from – including black plastic and landscape fabric. Your wall builder should be able to advise the best solution for your unique needs.

This will vary, depending on the size of the project, the location of the site, the materials used and ease of access. In the majority of cases, the process should take no longer than three days. We recommend confirming with your chosen builder, who will be able to provide an accurate estimate after assessing your site. 

In almost every circumstance, approval from the council will need to be granted before a retaining wall can be built. Different zones have different requirements and parameters, so it’s best to confirm with your local council before you proceed. Failing to do so could result in costly fines and expensive reworks.

It is strongly recommended that granular backfill be added behind the wall. This will permit the optimal level of drainage. Compacted native soil can improve the functionality as well as the appearance of your retaining wall. A qualified professional should be able to supply and implement the right material for your specific needs.
