Sunshine Coast Bricklayers
for Block Fences and Retaining Walls

Block retaining walls on the Sunshine Coast are priced per job rather than per metre. Factors affecting the cost include the retained height, the ground conditions, the drainage and core filling required, the length of the wall, and the site access. A knee-high garden edge and a wall holding up a driveway are not the same job.

No, we don’t charge for quotes anywhere on the Sunshine Coast. The visit is on site and what follows is written, so you can see the method before you agree to the price.

The difference between a block fence and a brick fence is the finish. Block gets rendered and painted afterwards, which is usually the cheaper path to a straight painted wall. Face brick stays exposed, so the brickwork itself is the finish and the laying has to be right on the face.

Yes, we can render a wall that is already standing, whether we laid it or somebody else did. Sand and cement render goes over existing fences, retaining walls and whole houses just as readily as new work. Beyond the finish, it adds a layer that improves insulation, weather resistance and how long the wall lasts.

Yes, the old fence comes out and so does any failed footing, before the new work starts. Building off a footing that has already given way is how a new fence inherits the same problem.

Yes, we work with builders on residential and smaller commercial jobs. Blockwork comes off your drawings, fits the sequence you have set, and is finished so the trade behind us is not held up.

We use blocks from leading Australian manufacturers. Factors determining which block suits your wall include whether it is holding ground or standing as a fence, the height, and whether it gets rendered afterwards or stays as a finished face.
