Brick fences and retaining walls in Manly.

About Manly

Manly's tight beachside streets carry a mix of original 1920s flats, Federation cottages and contemporary builds, often stepping down toward the harbour or the surf. Constant salt air is a factor.

Brick fences

Brick fences in Manly.

Brick fence work has to handle the salt and high UV. Aluminium-slat infills with face brick piers are popular for the coastal-modern look. Retaining elements often pair with the fence given the slope.

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 Manly.

Retaining walls are common: dropping driveways, terracing front gardens, levelling backyards. Concrete block with rendered or painted finishes handles the salt-laden coastal air. Combined retaining-and-fence builds at the front boundary are typical.

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.
