Frequently Asked Questions

GOOD QUESTIONS DESERVE CLEAR ANSWERS.

Planning a retaining wall, timber fence or earthworks project? Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often. Every site is different, so contact us if you need advice about your particular project.

About Take Pride

Retaining Walls

  • We primarily construct concrete sleeper and timber sleeper retaining walls. We also quote suitable wall replacements, boundary retaining, sloping sites and retaining-wall projects involving fencing or excavation.

  • Yes. We assess existing walls for suitable replacement projects, including demolition or removal and excavation where included in the agreed scope.

  • Warning signs can include increasing lean or movement, separating sections, deteriorating materials and changes in nearby ground or fencing. A suitable professional assessment is important, particularly if you suspect structural instability.

  • Requirements depend on the wall, site conditions, structural loads and applicable rules. Some projects require engineering, certification or approval; we'll discuss the relevant requirements identified during the quoting process. Do not assume all walls fall under one universal height rule.

  • Yes. Appropriate retaining-wall drainage provisions are considered as part of our retaining wall scope. Separate regulated plumbing or stormwater connections may require an appropriately licensed contractor and are not automatically included.

  • Yes. Because we specialise in retaining walls and timber fencing, we can assess suitable combined projects and coordinate the work where appropriate.

Learn more about retaining walls

  • We specialise in timber paling fencing, privacy fencing, good neighbour styles, lapped-and-capped fencing and suitable timber-clad gates.

  • No. Our fencing work is focused on timber.

  • Our focus is new installations and complete replacements rather than small handyman-style fence repairs.

  • Some straightforward standard replacements can be completed within a day, depending on length, removal work, site access, ground conditions and weather. We'll confirm the expected timeframe for the particular job.

Earthworks & Site access

  • Excavation, site preparation, levelling, ground shaping, retaining-wall excavation, driveway and roadbase preparation, and drainage-related earthworks within our scope.

  • We assess suitable levelling and ground-shaping projects. The available space, existing levels, soil movement, drainage and intended result determine what is practical.

  • Often, yes. We have different-sized earthmoving machinery and experience with tight-access sites. Whether machinery can safely access your property depends on the actual dimensions and conditions.

  • We are not advertising standalone regulated plumbing services. Where pipework or stormwater connections require a plumbing/drainage licence, those works must be handled by an appropriately licensed person or contractor.

Quotes, Scheduling & Payments

  • Your property address, service required, a brief description, approximate measurements if known and photos of the area. Plans, engineering and access details are also helpful when available.

  • Availability changes depending on existing bookings, materials, project size and weather. We'll discuss an indicative commencement window during the quotation and scheduling process.

  • Payment terms, including any deposit and progress payments, are set out in the written quote and invoices and must comply with requirements applicable to the contract. Please refer to the terms issued for your project rather than assuming one deposit percentage applies to every job.
