SITE CUTS & BASEMENTS

Do I need an engineer for a site cut or basement?

For larger cuts or basement excavations, yes — Chris works alongside your engineer or building surveyor to make sure the job meets requirements.

What happens to the excavated material?

Depending on the site, spoil can be reused on the property as fill or removed off-site — Chris will talk you through the best option for your block.

Can you prepare a site ready for builders?

Can you match rock to my existing landscaping?

Yes — Chris can source rock to suit the look and function of your site, from feature boulders to structural retaining stone.

Do retaining walls need council approval?

Depending on height and location, some retaining walls need council or engineering sign-off. Chris can advise what applies to your job.

Wall height, rock type and site access all play a part — Chris will talk through the options for your site.

DRIVEWAY QUESTIONS
