Retaining Walls
Retaining walls help to create usable space on sloped land and protect gardens, patios and driveways from soil erosion. They can also help to reduce noise from traffic and neighbours. The team at Bush 2 Beach Landscapes can build retaining walls that are both functional and attractive.
Concrete sleeper retaining walls are a popular option due to their versatility and strength. They can be painted to match your landscape design and are resistant to rot, fire and termites.
