Rock Walls

Rock walls in Melbourne

Natural rock retaining and feature walls, from single rows to large tiered walls.

01Overview

A good rock wall looks like it's always been there. Getting that look takes the right rock, a solid base, careful placement and the machinery to move heavy stone precisely.

We build natural rock retaining walls, feature walls and tiered walls, with the excavation, drainage and backfill handled as part of the job. A hydraulic grab means each rock is placed, not dropped.

    Place the rock

    Each rock positioned with the grab for a tight, natural, stable face.

05FAQ

Common questions.

Do you supply the rock?

We can arrange rock supply as part of the job, or place rock you've already sourced.

Can you build a rock wall on a steep slope?

Often, yes. Tiered walls are a common solution. We'll look at the site and the access first.
