Missing retaining wall, land suspected moving, how much does it cost ?

Hi,

I have a house in qld. Just realized that it does not have retaining wall on the left hand side of the house if viewed from front.

It is about 20 meters long, high at the beginning and low to the end. Can anyone give me a guesstimate how much I need to fork out to have one installed if a cheaper solution is preferred ?

Ta..

 

Do you know if you need one at all?

From memory, cost $300-600 persqm depends on the solution you choose, I.e. pine sleeper, vs reinforced concrete etc

 

Thansk EN710, I am absolutely clueless if I need one or not . How do I find out ?

 

So you mean I do not need to have it ? the dirt won't be moving down ? causing issue withe upper stream houses or downstream houses ? I thought the slopey dirt was where the garden bed used be .

 

I'd agree with Wyllie

I would be looking at trying to stabilise with planting , or maybe just a short segment at the base of the steeper segment .

We had a steeper section than that at the back of our PPOR and was able to do that

Doesn't look as though it needs a major retaining wall / engineered etc .

+1 not needed. Find something else to spend your money on.

 

Don't stress
But you can help stabilise with plants and also geo fabs and other hessian type materials that are a fabric covering which cover the dirt and keep things in place while plants grow and roots establish.
Go to a nursery and ask them. Just small shrub type things, nothing to big

 

Myporum (Aus Native) or Osteospermum (South African). Both perfect for solidifying bank, both hard wearing drought tolerant and rampant growers.

 

Looks ok to me, as per others, just plant some more suitable shrubs/trees, or do nothing as prior owner

 

Looks fine. If the fence starts to become unstable, then you may need to consider a retaining wall.
