Retaining walls in Wilton
Wilton is growing fast, with new estates such as Bingara Gorge turning paddocks into house blocks. Many of these blocks slope, which means house pads, boundary retaining and fences on top of walls are some of the most common jobs here.
What to know before building a wall in Wilton
On a new estate, check your developer’s design guidelines and your title’s restrictions before choosing a wall material or height: some estates specify boundary wall finishes. Concrete sleepers with a fence on top are a popular, low-maintenance choice for new boundaries.
Popular wall types in Wilton
The most common requests we see for Wilton are concrete sleeper retaining walls and sloping block excavation and site cuts. Whatever the material, a wall that lasts needs bored footings sized to the wall height and soil, and ag-pipe and gravel drainage behind the face.
Typical cost in Wilton
As a guide, supply and installation of engineered steel-post and concrete sleeper retaining walls typically ranges from $450 to $750+ per square metre of wall face, depending on site access, rock excavation, drainage and whether a fence is mounted on top. The builder will give you an itemised quote after a site measure.
