Gabion Wall Builder Sydney

A gabion wall builder assembles galvanised wire mesh baskets on site and fills them with natural stone to form a gravity retaining wall. In Sydney we use gabions for terracing sloping blocks, erosion control along drainage lines and decorative feature walls. Because water drains straight through the stone, gabions avoid the hydrostatic pressure that cracks concrete and timber walls.

A Sydney gabion wall builder typically charges from a competitive rate for a 600mm high wall using standard blue metal, rising to a quoted rate per metre for 900mm to 1.2m walls with decorative sandstone or river boulders. Site access, excavation and stone selection affect the final figure. We provide a free written quote after a site measure.

In NSW, gabion retaining walls up to 600mm high that retain less than 600mm of soil can usually be built as Exempt Development. Walls over 600mm generally need council approval or a Complying Development Certificate, and walls over 1m in most Sydney councils require a structural engineers design. As your gabion wall builder we advise on and manage these approvals.

Galvanised gabion baskets built by our Sydney team last 25 to 50 years, and PVC-coated baskets last longer in coastal or acidic soils. The stone fill is effectively permanent and the gravity structure is extremely stable when built with the correct batter and geotextile backing. A well-built gabion wall only needs an inspection of the mesh every 5 to 10 years.

Our gabion wall builder service covers all of Greater Sydney, including Parramatta, the Hills District, Blacktown, Penrith, Liverpool, Camden and the Sutherland Shire. We regularly build gabions on sloping blocks in Western Sydney and along waterways where erosion control is needed. Call us for a free on-site assessment anywhere in Sydney.
