Client Challenge
The owners of a property in Burleigh Waters, Gold Coast, were undertaking a complete home renovation. The initial plans included building rendered besser block walls. However, after consulting with Australian Retaining Walls, it was advised that concrete retaining walls using Flush Face Garden Wall concrete blocks would be more cost-effective and visually appealing for the project.
Our Solution
Australian Retaining Walls proposed the use of Flush Face Garden Wall concrete blocks instead of the initially planned rendered besser blocks. This solution not only reduced costs but also offered a superior finished look. With the earthworks already completed, our team began by marking out lines and establishing correct levels, ensuring all work was in strict accordance with the renovation plans.
As the first tradesmen on site, the accuracy of our work was critical. The precision of the concrete retaining wall using Flush Face Garden Wall blocks was essential for the successful installation of subsequent features, including a swimming pool, outdoor shower, and firepit on the top tier. Additionally, three sets of pre-fabricated steps were to be installed within the returns constructed by Australian Retaining Walls, leaving no room for error.
Outcome
The concrete retaining wall with Flush Face Garden Wall blocks was completed efficiently and with precision, setting a solid foundation for the rest of the renovation. The end result was a stunning transformation of the outdoor area, enhancing the overall aesthetics and functionality of the property. The homeowners were highly satisfied with the outcome, praising the professional finish and reliability of Australian Retaining Walls.
