Boundary & Division

There are many reasons you may decide you need a retaining wall, if you live in an area near the end of a valley or if your backyard is fully or partially on a steep hill you may need to build a retaining wall to stop the ground from shifting and keep it from becoming unstable or falling.

There are several ways to build effective retaining walls, some of our clients most popular choices are reinforced concrete and mortar, or building the wall by dry stacking stone. Sometimes using timber poles in palisades also seems like an attractive choice for the retaining wall; but these do not last well in a wet climate and so we do not recommend this type if your looking for a long term solution..

Fences have the same functions of boundary and division as walls. Although usually they are made of timber and are easily removed, making the fence a much more temporary solution than a wall. Choose from many styles including post-and-rail and picket.

For the longest lasting fence we suggest using durable timber such as oak and larch.
