Parramatta and the surrounding suburbs are going through a building boom — duplexes, granny flats and knockdown-rebuilds — and almost every one of them changes the ground levels somewhere on the block. That's where we come in.
Typical Parramatta & Western Sydney retaining wall jobs
- Boundary walls for duplexes, granny flats and new builds, often required as part of the approval.
- Driveway walls where a new driveway has been cut in.
- Levelling backyards on gently sloping blocks for lawn and entertaining.
- Replacing old timber and brick walls on established homes.
What to know building here
Western Sydney soils are mostly reactive clay, so walls need clean aggregate drainage and properly sized footings — clay backfill is a common cause of failure. Walls on new developments are often shown on the approved plans or in a Complying Development Certificate; we build to those drawings and the engineer's details.
