Five starts from me. Ray came in at a good price and his workmanship was excellent. He went above and beyond what was asked of the job. He did not rush the job and he was knowledgeable and offered expert advice. He was a respectful and courteous tradesman. I would highly recommend Ray for any brickwork jobs.

What do retaining walls services include?

Retaining walls services include all the necessary tasks to build a sturdy and attractive retaining wall in your outdoor space to prevent erosion. Your hired retaining wall contractors can assess the site, help you design the retaining wall if you don’t have a design ready, then build the wall. 

Assessing the site

The first step in retaining wall construction is taking site measurements. Your Tasker can consider distinct site features, like if the wall will be placed on a slope and if the site gets a lot of rain or snowmelt. The retaining wall builders can also recommend the appropriate design and materials to suit the site’s measurements and features. 

Designing the walls

If you don’t have a design already, a local retaining wall contractor can help you make one. Some local landscape retaining wall contractors can provide you with not just any retaining wall design, but one that conforms with established zoning laws and safety and industry standards. The design can also have the aesthetic elements you want and be sturdy enough to prevent soil erosion in your property. Yes, you can have all this while keeping within your budget! When you post a task, specify your budget and get offers from retaining wall contractors near you. 

Getting permits

The next step is to get permits for the design and build. Your Tasker can obtain the required permits from the relevant authorities like your Homeowner’s Association, City Planning Department, or other federal jurisdiction. Note that some Taskers may charge extra for getting these permits. Even as construction and zoning laws vary from state to state, don’t worry; Local retaining wall installers know how and where to get the appropriate permits. 

Preparing for the build

Your Tasker can get the materials and prepare the appropriate tools. Whichever type of retaining wall you want to be built—brick, concrete, concrete bag, wood, or natural stone—your Tasker can get the right materials! Your Tasker can also make sure the materials and tools are of the right specification, quality, and amount. Then, they can turn over any leftover materials after the build.

Building the retaining walls

Your hired Taskers can do the retaining wall installation or construction once they’re ready with the design, permits, and materials. They can build your retaining wall as per the drafted design, so there are no surprises. The result could be an aesthetically pleasing yet functional wall that can protect your property from soil erosion. The Tasker can execute the design, whether it’s a retaining wall made of wood, concrete, hollow blocks, cement bags, or boulders. They’ll use the appropriate tools, procured materials, safety equipment, and techniques. 

Finishing touches

Your Tasker can apply any finishing touches or embellishments on the retaining wall design as required. This can include installing capstones on stone walls, creating gradual step-downs or turning-in sections, backfilling, or installing greenery and other embellishments. Don’t forget that you can also have other features like privacy screens or outdoor blinds installed.

Burwood East VIC 3151, Australia

24th Nov 2024

Retaining wall in our backyard needs to be replaced. Approximate dimensions as per the following: 50cm high. Total length of two retaining wall sections is 12.5m (5.1m + 7.4m), divided by concrete steps roughly 1/3 along the wall. Looking for a cost-cost effective and functional solution for two options. Option 1: Only replace retaining wall. Each section of wall to be connected and secured in place with steel posts buried in the ground with concrete footing Install suitable drain along the length of the wall. Submit costing for this on Airtasker. Option 2: Push retaining wall back, closer to the fence (only leaving about 800mm for a garden bed). Concrete platform where the clothing line is will need to be demolished and new steps built to allow entry from fence door. Provide costing for this either via comment to this job or message. Open to wall material options - Concrete sleepers (preferred) Retaining wall blocks Treated pine or hardwood (just don't want it to end up looking like the way it does now in a few years) See attached photos and plan with dimensions in cm. Yellow area is concrete, green area is grass. Open to offers. Ideally looking to get the work completed by either before 6 Dec. Thank you.
