The rock wall

At the deepest point, our cut is about 2.0m deep, so we decided to use local "bush rocks" salvaged from nearby farmland to create our retaining walls. Skilled at laying rock walls on a grand scale, we contracted Jack Cottrell to carefully place the rocks to create a natural looking wall that blended in with the existing rock work in the adjacent home garden. Each rock is selected, turned, lifted and placed with a impressively nimble grab on the end of Jack's excavator.The end result incorporated pathways and plenty of planting nooks for local rock loving indigenous plants.
