Retaining walls and fencing in Collingwood Park

Know your ground first

Parts of Collingwood Park sit over old underground coal mine workings, and the suburb has a history of ground movement. That doesn't stop you building a fence or a retaining wall, but it does mean the ground deserves a proper look before any design is locked in.

Before we quote a retaining wall here, we'll ask about the block, look at the site and, where it matters, recommend checking the available mining information for your property. If engineering is needed, we'll tell you upfront.

Retaining walls on newer estates

Many Collingwood Park homes are on newer, cut-and-filled estate blocks, where the boundary often has a level change. Concrete sleeper walls are a popular, long-lasting choice. Every wall we build has drainage aggregate and an ag pipe behind it, because water pressure is the most common reason walls fail.

Fencing for growing families

For boundaries, most owners here choose Colorbond for privacy and low maintenance. We also build pool fencing to the Queensland standard and matching gates for side access.
