Retaining Walls for Property Developers Sites in Edenvale

A retaining wall is a structure holding back tonnes of saturated soil. Drainage behind the wall matters as much as the blocks in front of it.

In this sector the driving requirement is usually: Snag-free handover documentation

Edenvale is an established, well-treed suburb between Johannesburg and the East Rand, with older homes, mature gardens and low-lying areas that hold water. That matters here because: Shade from established trees suits LM lawn or artificial turf.

• Low-lying sections drain slowly after storms, so subsoil drainage and raised beds are frequently required.
• Mature gardens need renovation rather than replacement — thinning, re-levelling and re-lawning.
• Older paving and driveways commonly sit on inadequate sub-bases and need a full re-lay.
• Shade from established trees suits LM lawn or artificial turf.

We assess slope, soil and surcharge, then build with a compacted foundation, drainage layer, geogrid reinforcement where required, and weep or subsoil drainage.

• Segmental block and gravity walls
• Reinforced walls with geogrid for higher retention
• Gabion and natural stone walls
• Planter and terrace walls integrated with landscaping
• Behind-wall drainage and stormwater management

Property Developers premises rarely close for a contractor. We sequence the work in zones, agree access and working hours before starting, and keep the site tidy daily so the rest of the premises stays usable.

• Turns unusable slope into usable ground
• Controls erosion and stormwater
• Defines terraces and garden rooms architecturally
