Rock Walls & Slip Repair
Rock retaining walls, rock lined channels and repairs to slips caused by water getting away on you.
About rock walls & slip repair
Most slips we get called to were not bad luck. They came from poor water management and overspoil sitting where it should not, and once the ground lets go it keeps going until the water is dealt with. We repair the slip, then fix the reason it happened.
Rock walls do a lot of work on this sort of country. A well built rock retaining wall holds a bank back, opens up flat ground you could not otherwise use, and handles water far better than most alternatives. We also line gullies and outfalls with rock so fast water has somewhere to go without cutting a new channel.
Good for: Rural and hillside property owners dealing with a slip, an unstable bank, or a gully that is scouring out after heavy rain.
Worth booking in
Fixes the cause
Rebuilding a slip without sorting the water just buys you time until the next big rain.
Gains you usable ground
A retaining wall often turns a wasted bank into flat ground you can build on or park on.
Built to take water
Rock walls drain freely, which matters far more than looks when the weather turns.
How we do it
We look uphill first. The repair only lasts if the water that caused it now has a clear path somewhere sensible. Then the bank gets cut back to stable ground, the wall goes in with proper drainage behind it, and the surface above gets shaped so runoff is directed away rather than over the top.

What to expect
Tell us about it
Call or message with a couple of photos and a rough idea of access. That is usually enough for us to tell you what machine it needs and roughly what it will cost.
We look at the site
For anything bigger we walk the site with you. Where the spoil goes, how water runs off afterwards and how we get the machine in all get sorted before we start.
Job done, site tidy
We work through it, keep you posted, and leave the ground in a state you can use. If we spot something that will cause you grief later, we will tell you.
