The brief.
A steep bank alongside the house, where the sloping site was creating significant stormwater runoff and ground-stability concerns.

Designed together.
OzWalls installed an engineered retaining wall using structural steel posts and timber sleepers. Drainage was directed to designated discharge points to manage water behind the wall and reduce pressure on the structure, and the sleepers were stained for a more finished appearance.
