Full-length concrete sleeper retaining wall holding a cut level above a lawn

Holding
ground.

Retaining isn't just about what you see. Preparation, drainage, levels and what's behind the wall determine whether it lasts.

Hardscape index

Seven disciplines. Usually delivered together on the one site.

05 / GEOHEX

Strength
underfoot.

A cellular grid laid over a prepared base and filled with aggregate or soil and grass. It spreads the load of a car, caravan or machine across the whole surface, stops rutting, and lets water soak through instead of running off toward the house.

Overflow parking / caravan pads / side access / high-wear ground

Ground → finished.

Melbourne's
south east.

Local hard landscaping, from the ground up. We work across the south-eastern growth corridor and the hills behind it — close enough to be on site the same morning when levels need checking.
