This site started as an absolute mud pit, with extremely poor ground conditions and very restricted access, making the project particularly challenging.
Our scope of work included drilling 3.5-metre-deep post holes, installing large timber retaining posts, concreting the foundations, and constructing the retaining wall. We then reused the excavated spoil to regrade and level the section, improving the site's overall usability while minimising waste.
To ensure long-term performance, we installed drainage behind the retaining wall to relieve groundwater pressure and improve ground stability. The area was then prepared and compacted, providing a solid foundation ready for the client's future patio and landscaping plans.
Despite the tight access and difficult conditions, the project was completed safely, efficiently, and to a high standard, transforming an unusable muddy area into a stable, functional outdoor space.
