Description of a rock retaining wall

For this retaining wall, we use rocks or boulders.  We place them strategically to form a barrier that holds a soil bank in place.  Australian Construction uses the following materials for rock retaining walls:

• Porphyry rock
• Bluestone
• Bush rock
• Sandstone

Do you have a timber or concrete block retaining wall and want something different?  A rock or boulder retaining wall is ideal if you wish to have a natural, rustic aesthetic.  Rock walls are incredibly durable.  Furthermore, they are resistant to erosion or weathering. 

Additionally, the weight of the boulders or rocks enables them to retain significant quantities of soil in place.  However, we appreciate that it is essential to construct a stone retaining wall properly.  As a result, it prevents it from collapsing or getting washed away by erosion.  Huge boulders create a functional and attractive retaining wall.

Advantages of retaining wall rocks

Why is a boulder or rock retaining wall a great option?

• Boulder walls need little or no specific footings.
• These walls control erosion successfully.
• They drain effectively; hence do not have the issue of water accumulating behind the wall.  It is a prevalent problem with other kinds of retaining walls.
• Rock retaining walls are durable.

We use rock retaining walls for many purposes, for example, creating a feature wall or garden bed.

• The rock wall builders in Coffs Harbour offer competitive prices. It depends on the boulders you choose.
• Big retaining walls are more efficient in holding the soil bank steady and preventing erosion.

Building a rock retaining wall

The boulders are heavy. Due to this, we advise you to allow a builder like Australian Construction to build it for you skillfully.

Step 1

We calculate the rock retaining wall’s perimeter and use a string to mark it.  It ensures we remain on target.

Step 2

Our team digs the footing where the retaining wall rocks will go to a minimum of 20cm.  As we proceed, we ensure that it is level.

Step 3

The rock wall builder compacts the soil and evenly spreads coarse gravel over the footing, and smoothens the surface.

Step 4

We place the initial row of retaining boulders or rocks. We then rotate them to get your desired look.  Also, we ensure the top remains flat.

Step 5

Our team places the second layer, leaning back towards the bank.  They keep building the layers and continue this slope.

Step 6

Finally, we use course soil and stone to backfill the rock retaining wall.
