We completed this residential job for a lovely couple that have moved up from Sydney to retire. They are building their dream home on a sloping 3/4 acre block at Delaneys Creek and needed some retaining walls put in.

A 2m long Driftwood textured concrete sleeper was chosen and colour sealed in “Colorbond’ Shale Grey to match with the house colours.

The retaining walls have allowed for a flat 4m wide driveway up the side of the property to gain for their caravan into the back yard and a concrete inground pool which is about to be built at the same level as their back patio.

The ground here was a hard sandstone and we had to use our 20 tonne excavator with a ripper and our 3.5 tonne excavator with a rock breaker to excavate the 170m3 of rock to allow for the retaining walls.
