Client Challenge
The homeowner had initially attempted to construct a retaining wall using second-hand materials, aiming to save money. However, the finished wall did not meet their expectations regarding stability and aesthetics, leading them to seek a professional solution that could deliver both visual appeal and durability.
Our Solution
Australian Retaining Walls proposed replacing the unsatisfactory DIY concrete wall with a Sandstone Boulder wall, known for its natural beauty and structural integrity. Our team carefully selected and placed each boulder, ensuring the new wall would meet the client's aesthetic desires and provide the necessary support for the landscape.
Outcome
The Sandstone Boulder wall significantly enhanced the front yard's appearance and functionality. The client was extremely pleased with the high-quality finish and the transformation it brought to their property. The old concrete blocks were suggested for recycling, potentially to be used as drainage gravel in future projects, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable practices.
Project Highlights
This project highlights Australian Retaining Walls' expertise in converting a failed DIY attempt into a professionally crafted, visually appealing, and lasting solution. The Sandstone Boulder wall not only met but exceeded the homeowner's expectations, providing a cost-effective yet beautiful retaining solution. This project also underscores our approach to sustainability, suggesting the recycling of the previous materials to minimize waste and environmental impact.
