Retaining Walls
Ablatio can supply a number of products for building
a retaining wall. You can choose from 300mm size random boulders
and up to 1m size random boulder.
Random means the size of the
boulder is approximately the size nominated but the shape is
as the rock
is quarried. Therefore the shapes and actual size vary.
This results in a rough, rustic rock face look when completed
as
the rocks are located on top of each other and allowed to settle
as they are placed.
For a more formal look you can order
rock cut into rectangles or squares. The rocks are cut on
the quarry floor using the excavator
blade. This leaves a rough cut finish on the face of the block.
The size ranges from 400mm x 400mm to 600mm x 600mm. The length
can be random (usually 800mm to 1200mm) or cut to 1m. These blocks
are more expensive due to the cutting process. You can see examples
of our blocks cut to these sizes used in land developments such
as
Springfield Lakes, North Lakes, Harvey Bay and other developments.
Our range includes blocks with four
sides cut by a diamond, smooth finish, with the two ends split
on a
block splitter which
gives a rustic look. The size of these blocks will vary from 150mm
x 150mm x 100mm to 300mm x 300mm x 150mm and can be used for a
low wall i.e. two blocks high with mortar in between, or garden
edging.
These blocks are split from
off-cuts from our profiling activities.
Blocks can be 'tailor-made' to
size. This requires a request for a quote, please complete the
enquiries/order form.
