Retaining wall on slope
Job description
I would like a retaining wall along the edge of the deck piles. The deck piles go significant depths to solid ground (up to 3m down at the end - i have an engineering supervisory document from when the house was built). Therefore the wall will just be required to retain the soil and drainage material behind it - but obviously still need to be gauranteed not to fall over. I don't have any spare soil so other than that which will you would excavate as required for the wall so the bulk of backfill will need to be imported drainage material. The purpose of the wall is to stop gradual soil erosion, look nicer than it does at present, and also provide a barrier between the house and the bush. I removed the scrub directly alongside the deck as it made the deck and house permanently damp. There is some drip through / run off from under the deck down so it does need to be properly drained. A concrete crib wall would be great or a wooden post wall. Open to ideas for whatever is feasible, cost effective, and gauranteed not to fall over. Height goes from almost ground level to ~0.9m high. The soil seems resonably stable but towards the steeper end the ground is on a bit of a slope. The end with the half cut tree (the higher end by the biggest exposed pile casing) the wall will bend around and back up ~2m length to deck level. This half cut tree at the end I will cut off at ground level so the wall can go over it. Length is ~12-14m.

Aaron was a pleasure to work with. His communicaton was excellent and the job was completed in the time estimated and on budget. I requested a couple of minor changes once we got the job underway which were easily incorporated at my cost. The finished product looks really good and is well built. Definitely recommend Aaron for landscaping works.
