Please fill in our quote form to contact us. Below the form you will find a few options for your retaining wall.

 

TIMBER SLEEPER WALLS

Timber sleeper retaining walls are a cost effective solution to your retaining wall requirements. Untreated hardwoods like Spotted Gum and Red Gum have a durability rating of 2 when they are in the ground which means that they have a probable life expectancy of 15 to 25 years. Pine is a softwood and must be treated to make it durable in soil contact. Australian Standards recommend H4 treated timber for landscaping and H5 treated timber for retaining walls.
Timber retaining walls can be constructed with timber uprights or with Galvanised steel uprights. The galvanised steel uprights cost more but they will last outlast the timber uprights.

 

CONCRETE SLEEPER WALLS

Concrete sleepers are a strong and durable retaining wall alternative. The concrete sleepers are precast and reinforced with steel. There are a number of finishes available in the concrete sleepers including stacked stone, sandstone, bluestone, smooth face and wood grain. The concrete sleepers are slotted into galvanised steel uprights and are pre-engineered for heights up to 3m.
