Looking for professional excavation and garden landscaping services in Lindisfarne? Our client needed to remove a failed 1.2-meter high treated pine wall that had collapsed. The project also included widening the driveway to accommodate two cars and excavating an upper area for a planned timber deck entertaining space. The client also wanted a functional and aesthetically pleasing means of access from the parking spot to the upper level.
Our excavation and landscaping team collaborated with the client to design a robust sandstone boulder retaining wall. This two-tiered wall not only replaced the failed treated pine wall but also seamlessly integrated with the planned entertaining area at the front of the house. We removed the collapsed wall and a portion of a large gumtree's root system, gaining an extra meter in driveway width for dual-car parking. Large, landscape-style stone steps were installed as a front access walkway to the upper deck level. During construction, we also rerouted stormwater pipes to accommodate the new design.
The client was thrilled with the outcome, particularly impressed by the size of the boulders and the steps. The entire design harmonized perfectly with the new deck, fulfilling all excavation and garden landscaping needs in Lindisfarne.
Our task was to manage a challenging steep slope flanking the driveway and create a convenient landing and back door access.
Given the site's limited access and lifting constraints, we devised a unique solution. We combined short boulder walls and strategically placed stones to complement native plantings and hold bark mulch in place. Importantly, a sandstone block retaining wall was constructed at the slope's base, featuring an aggregate drain to manage stormwater run-off directed towards the home. Additionally, we installed a split-level sandstone block wall near the back door. The clients were extremely satisfied, leading us to secure a project with their neighbours.
