Empire Walls Heads to Frankston South- Retaining Wall Replacement.

Empire Walls recently headed to Frankston South to replace an aged retaining wall running along our client’s driveway.

As you can tell by the pictures below, the existing wall was quite old and had started to deteriorate. The garden bed was no longer supported, and the overall appearance was looking a bit sad.

Our team came in and constructed a new smooth concrete sleeper retaining wall for one very pleased client.

The pictures below show how much the visual appeal of the driveway and front garden has improved, a brand-new inviting entrance to the property.

Now that the retaining wall has been replaced by Empire Walls, the front garden and plants will be supported for many years to come!

If you’re a homeowner wondering how to increase the value of your property, look no further! Chances are you’re hoping your property will one day be worth more than you paid for it.

Here are our top tips on how you can add value to your property and increase the visual appeal of your yard.

1. CALL IN EMPIRE WALLS TO BUILD A RETAINING WALL

If you have a sloping or uneven yard, installing a retaining wall will level out the terrain to make it more accessible, prevent soil erosion and improve drainage in the event of flooding after heavy rain.

A retaining wall can make a stunning landscaping feature, improving the overall aesthetic and taking an average backyard to the next level! Or create a beautiful front yard that stands out from your neighbours, a retaining wall will increase privacy, add visual appeal and may reduce noise.

Below is a concrete sleeper stacked stone wall we recently completed for a very happy client.

2. CARE FOR YOUR LAWN AND GARDENS

There is nothing worse than an overgrown and messy looking yard that is in desperate need of some love and care. Spending the time to maintain and care for your lawn and plants will massively improve the aesthetic of your property and may even boost your mood!

Looking out the windows or pulling up in your driveway to see a beautifully maintained and well-presented garden will be sure to put a smile on your face.

It will also help if you decide to sell your property, the resale value will be higher with a well-kept yard and will leave a lasting impression for potential buyers.

3. A NEW COAT OF PAINT

The easiest and most cost-effective way to freshen up your home is with a new coat of paint. Marks and general wear and tear on your walls can often make your home feel a little drab and in need of an update.

All white is a popular choice to help freshen up and increase the value of your home, redo a few rooms or maybe the whole house for a completely new look.

It’s often the smallest of changes that have the biggest impact, we hope you have some exciting new ideas to implement into your own home and garden!

Do you live on a sloping block of land and are wondering how to protect your garden and property?

Not only do retaining walls add a visual feature to your garden, they are also built to prevent the movement of earth and soil.

Heavy rain or even a slight movement of the earth can result in a shift in the soil. If the soil shifts too much, the slope can collapse and cause damage to your garden or property.

Below is an example of our work for a client who experienced heavy rain which resulted in a landslide, causing damage to their original retaining wall.

Our customer centric approach means that each client receives personalised
service and a custom solution. We take great pride in delivering top quality
finished products made of the finest materials. And when it comes to retaining
walls, we guarantee our workmanship from the ground up.
