Discuss Solutions for Sloping Ground
Sloping ground can make a garden or outdoor area difficult to use, but not every change in level calls for the same solution. Precision Property Maintenance undertakes retaining walls in Hobart with attention to what the wall needs to support and what is happening around it.
We'll discuss what sits above and below the proposed wall, how water moves through the area and how the structure would relate to the rest of the property. The site's conditions may mean engineering, drainage design or council approvals are required; those requirements must be checked for the specific work before construction. When the wall forms part of a larger yard improvement, see our landscaping services. Call 0400 187 210 to arrange a free quote and discuss the proposed scope.
What Sits Behind the Wall Matters
The visible face of a retaining wall is only one part of the job. Soil height, loading and water behind the wall can affect how a structure needs to be designed. Nearby buildings, fences and boundaries may also change what is suitable.
A low garden edge is not necessarily comparable to a wall supporting a substantial change in level. The proposed purpose therefore needs to be established before material or construction decisions are made.
Depending on the site and the wall, engineering, drainage design and council approvals may be needed. We discuss those requirements as part of defining the project, rather than treating every retaining wall as a standard installation.
