Retaining wall and turf installation creating level backyard lawn in West Ryde

Retaining wall and turf installation in West Ryde creating a level, usable outdoor space

Project Overview

This project involved constructing a retaining wall, installing new turf, and upgrading the surrounding areas to create a more structured and usable outdoor space.


The existing yard had uneven levels and underutilised areas, particularly along the side of the house and near the front boundary, making it difficult to maintain and limiting how the space could be used.


A retaining wall was installed to manage the level changes and define the lawn area, followed by turf installation to create a clean, level surface.


Along the side of the property, the area was cleared and finished with decorative stone to form a low-maintenance access path. Steps were also installed to improve movement between levels.


Garden beds were refreshed with planting and mulch to soften the space and tie everything together.

Site Preparation & Build

The retaining wall was constructed using concrete sleeper blocks to manage level changes across the site. 


A stepped foundation was built to follow the natural slope, creating a stable and long-lasting structure to support the new lawn area.

Side pathway preparation in West Ryde with cleared access and decorative stone base installation

The side access was cleared and prepared to create a functional walkway. A compacted base was installed before laying decorative stones, forming a clean, low-maintenance path along the side of the house.

Challenges
