Retaining Wall / Drainage Problems

Failed or collapsed landscape Retaining walls are generally caused by failure to consider and implement suitable footings and drainage during design and construction. Brisbane’s 2011 extensive wet season and subsequent flooding highlighted these problems to many home owners.

In many cases affected walls had little or no drainage behind walls to assist with alleviating water build up. While appropriate structural footings for retaining walls should never be overlooked, efficient drainage and appropriate back fill for retaining walls should be considered as important as the retaining wall structure itself.

With Modern house allotments limiting  site access for future repairs / replacement, it is imperative to build a durable retaining wall. Visit Brisbane Landscapers Greenscene Gardenscope for more information.

Retaining walls, drainage, licensed structual landscapers

With a BSA structural landscape license, irrigation and drainage license, current qualifications and a whole lot of experience Greenscene Gardenscope can repair damages caused by Brisbanes flooding including insurance claims for retaining walls, paving, drainage, decks, and general landscaping. Flooding can have an undermining affect on large and even small trees with saturated grounds. Strong winds can uproot trees sending them crashing down. Ground water can also be banked up behind poorly drained retaining walls and structures putting added weight and pressure on the footings and walls. Wet areas in properties may require sub surface drainage to remove stagnant water which not only causes structural problems but is also a breeding ground for mosquitoes. With the ability to laser level sites to ascertain true indications of possible scenarios and solutions we can certainly assist to improve the situation. We strongly believe in building all our work to last the test of time. With strong footings and prep work come strong structures and landscapes. All too often we see poorly constructed retaining walls, paving, decking, irrigation, drainage, and even gardens and plant selections.  Let us, professional fully equipped structural landscapers assist with works around your homes.

Sunshine Coast landscaping – Brisbane Landscaping

www.greenscenegardenscope.com.au landscaping design and construct aesthetic and sustainable landscapes. Conveniently located Between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Greenscene Gardenscope’s central location allows us to source materials from a wider range of suppliers and ensures our clients receives quality materials and prompt service every time.

A recent landscaping project undertaken in Brisbanes inner suburb of Alderly presented narrow and tight access, a issue becoming more prominent with Brisbane and Sunshine Coast landscape projects. As presented by our landscape before and after pictures, the landscape works in this site were to be quite extensive given that there was no machine access.

Landscape works included terracing the backyard for aesthetics. This was to be created by manually shaping the existing surface, installing a Tasman GB block wall and importing top soil. A drainage issue from higher neighbouring properties was considered. A sub surface drainage system utilizing 100mm socked agg drain was installed along side and rear fence lines to minimize in flows. Two surface pits were also installed below retaining wall to cater for extensive rainfall periods common in South East Queenslands storm season.

This landscape construction photo shows Greenscene Gardenscope landscapers with landscape works underway. Laser levels are used constantly throughout the project ensuring accurate levels are attained for structural landscape and drainage works.

The aesthetic appeal of the landscape was created using 400mm pavers as steppers with a decorative gravel in fill. A paver border edged the path, gardens and lawn areas. Soft Sir Walter Buffalo was chosen for the lawn as it is ideal for childrens play, shade tolerant and has low water requirement. A Balinese planting theme was selected to soften the straight lines used in the structural landscapes. Plant selections included MaCarthurii palm, various Cordylines, Song of India, Crotons, various Bromeliads, Liriope stripey whites and Xanadu. A hardy selection using colour foliage plants to create a low maintenance garden with year round colour.

Automated irrigation was installed to garden areas using a low flow micro irrigation system, with dual tank water and town water supply. Elegant stainless steel garden lighting complemented the project. These were used as up lights spaced along the centre of the path, with mini spot lights highlighting the garden features and subtle bollard lighting spaced around the garden borders.

Greenscene Gardenscope designed this landscape as a low maintenance, modern style landscape with a Balinese influence. Greenscene Gardenscope cater for all aspects of landscape from courtyards to commercial. Please consider www.greenscenegardenscope.com.au to create a sustainable landscape package.

A detailed overview of a proposed landscape recently designed for a Pelican Waters, Caloundra client.

Our client engaged Greenscene gardenscope to design a garden and living space to compliment Queenslands outdoor entertaining lifestyle. The site overlooks the prestigious pelican waters golf course and the customer was eager to enhance and beautify the outlook from their rear deck. Entertaining and lifestyle were major considerations in the landscape design.

The garden design structured with low maintenance in mind influenced drought hardy plant selections such as pandanus baptisii variegated to give striking accent in corners of the garden, yuccas, draceneas , cordylines, dianella silver streak, tradescantia (rheoe) and zoysia were used to give colour, texture, structure and sculptural aspects to the areas.

Garden lighting plays an integral role in bringing the gardens to life at night and creating a fantastic entertaining area. The incorporation of garden lighting and out door stereo speakers for the deck and in amongst the garden will create a directional entertaining atmosphere without blasting out the neighbours with music from inside the house. The use of a water fountain with delicate lighting designed to shimmering across the face of the pool will bring a gentle touch to the backyard which is over looked by the timber deck and bbq area.

Drought hardy sir walter turf was selected for the back yard to create a durable play area for the children. The dark green grass covering wrapping around the the deck and block retaining walls. A sitting area was introduced to the corner of the yard were a large tropical birch tree was incorporated to shade the bench seat set amongst day lillies and iris.  Tracheospermum Jasminiodes ( star Jasmine) trained up a trellis on a side wall of the house which when in flower will subtly fill the house with a sweet scent.

The side court yard was influenced by the importance  to maximize the use of natural light, breeze and functionality of a utility area for the washing line, rubbish bins and a small garden shed for mower, bikes, etc. The incorporation of a herb and vegetable/ fruit garden in pots and retained garden beds was added to the area to provided fresh herbs, vegetables and fruit for the family. Lemon trees, limes tree, orange, mandarin, bay tree, basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary,mint, parsley,  fennel were just some of the range selected.

Sante fe pavers paved through the outside utility area gives a practical and economical solution to the ground space. Drainage and automatic irrigation are also planned for this project.

Landscape Renovation Before

Backyard Landscaping  at McDowall, Brisbane involved a whole facet of quality landscape construction using a diverse range of knowledge and skill.  As seen in the landscape before and after photos the job required the supply and construction of block retaining walls, paving, drainage and automatic irrigation which was connected to rain water tanks under water efficient guidelines.

Slate stack and timber screens were constructed as a major focal point of landscape construction. Native grass trees were planted in front of each feature panel. Mini spot lights on the grass trees shadowed their image nightly against the feature screens. Kwila timber decking extended out from a tiled alfresco area and was complimented by a paved stepper area in a decorative gravel finish.

A selection of clumping Bamboos, Liriope, Nandinas,Cordylines, New Zealand flax, Japanese blood grass, Lomandra, Pennasetum, Dianella silver streak,  baby panda grass , Mondo grass and Zoysia grass, no mow grass and feature plantings of native grass trees and Pandanus trees gave the landscape a distinctive elegant touch.

At night the yard was transformed to a entertaining area with the use of sutle low voltage garden lighting. Up lights ,deck lights and spotlights were used to highlight feature areas and walkways through paved area. Light sensitive sunset switches for garden lights with a timer ensured lighting came on at dusk and would turn off at dawn or were programmable to allow efficient use of lighting.

The use of hard wearing  Sir Walter Buffalo turf was chosen to cope with constant traffic of kids and two little very active dogs. Earthy neutral colours where used for the retainer walls,  pavers and garden edges.

Drainage was a very important inclusion in the job to cope with the extensive amounts of water which will channel into to the rear of the property from the the neighbours above  them on the hill. The use of ag drains as well as rigid pipes and drainage pits help the yard drain quickly after heavy down pours, also draining and relieving water build up behind retaining walls.

The use of clumping bamboos where chosen for there slender tall natureBrisbane Landscaping After to give maximum privacy from the two story houses behind. Using a variety of four bamboos including Tiger Grass, Timor black bamboo , Grey Ghost and Budha belly bamboo gave different elements of texture, shades of colour and height requirements. The Feature screens where built from h4 treated hardwood and steel to form a solid frame to hold the dressed stained kwila timber slates and slate stack tiles attached on firm sealed  blue board form work. The floating timber deck  rests on concrete footings and treated timbers with additional drainage placed under the deck to avoid moisture. This job has inspired further landscape projects we have recently completed at mango hill, North Lakes and Brisbane’s suburbs of Ascot and Clayfield .
