Built with care
Purposeful stonework, carefully finished
Every site is different. We consider levels, drainage, access, adjacent materials and the visual character of the stone before work begins. The result is practical, durable and settled naturally into its surroundings.
Walls are only as good as what is beneath them. We take the time to get footings, drainage and substrate right before the visible stonework begins. That is why our walls, floors and facades stay true long after handover.
How we approach it
- 01
Site visit & scope
We walk the site with you, checking levels, access, soil and drainage, and talk through what the space needs before any stone is ordered.
- 02
Material selection
We recommend stone suited to the application and the character you want, balancing texture, colour, durability and budget.
- 03
Construction
Footings, drainage and structure are built properly first; the visible stonework is laid on top of sound groundwork.
- 04
Finishing & handover
Joints, edges and surrounds are finished with care, and the site is left clean with the work settled into its setting.

Stone and sandstone retaining walls for Brisbane's sloping blocks
Brisbane's western and northern suburbs are full of steep blocks, from The Gap and Ashgrove to Bardon and Chapel Hill. Many sit on reactive clay that swells in the wet and shrinks in the dry, which is exactly what pushes a poorly drained wall over. We build sandstone and natural stone retaining walls with proper footings, ag drainage and free-draining backfill so the wall holds through the wet season.
Stone suits sites where a wall is on show: front gardens, terraced lawns, pool surrounds and driveway cuttings. If you are weighing up stone against concrete sleepers, we can talk through the cost and lifespan of each for your block.

Frequently asked questions
Where do you offer stone retaining walls in Brisbane?
We service Brisbane City, inner north, inner south, western suburbs, bayside and surrounding areas.
Do I need approval for a retaining wall in Brisbane?
In Queensland, a retaining wall generally needs building approval if it is more than 1 metre high, or if it sits close to a building or another wall and carries extra load. We check this on the site visit and allow for engineering where it is needed.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos are helpful for an initial conversation. A site visit may be needed to confirm access, levels, materials and scope.
Do you work on residential and commercial sites?
Yes. Our experience includes residential, commercial and civil stonework.
How do I know which stone suits my project?
We talk through colour, texture and performance with you, along with what your site's conditions call for, before recommending a material.
