Fencing and retaining walls in Bracken Ridge

Fence and wall in one job

Bracken Ridge is one of the larger suburbs on Brisbane's northside, with a mix of older homes and newer estates. Plenty of blocks have a level change along the boundary, so a common job here is a concrete sleeper retaining wall with a Colorbond fence sitting on top.

Doing both together saves money and gets a better result. The wall is designed to carry the fence, the posts are set into the right footings, and the drainage is sorted before anything goes up.

When a retaining wall needs approval

As a general rule in Queensland, retaining walls over 1 metre, or walls close to a building or carrying extra load, need engineering and approval. We'll tell you upfront whether your wall is likely to need it, so there are no surprises halfway through the job.

Ageing boundary fences

Many original paling fences in Bracken Ridge are now leaning or rotting at the base. If yours is shared with a neighbour, we'll quote it so the cost can be split fairly, and we'll talk you through Colorbond versus timber for your block.
