Brick fences and retaining walls in Castlecrag.

Castlecrag 2068 - Lower North Shore

About Castlecrag

Castlecrag's Walter Burley Griffin heritage character demands stone, organic forms, and homes that sit into the bushland landscape rather than dominate it. Council heritage rules are the binding constraint.

Brick fences

Brick fences in Castlecrag.

Brick fence work has to honour that ethos - restrained pier-and-panel runs in suitable brick colours, combined with retaining where the bushland slopes demand.

What we handle

  • Demolition of existing fences
  • Concrete footings
  • Bricklaying: face brick, render, paint
  • Piers, capping, decorative detailing
  • Gates and aluminium-slat infills
  • Combined retaining-and-fence builds

See more on our brick fences page, or talk through styles on the brick fence design page.

Retaining walls

Retaining walls in Castlecrag.

Retaining walls have to sit into the landscape: stone-faced or natural-finish concrete block, organic forms, respect for the existing terrain. Engineering for the heights typical of bushland-slope blocks is standard.

What we handle

  • Site assessment and engineered design
  • Demolition of existing structures
  • Excavation and concrete footings
  • Reinforced concrete block construction
  • Drainage and tanking
  • Render, paint, or face-block finishes

See more on our retaining walls page, or read about engineering on the retaining wall design page.
