Retaining Walls
Sandstone Block Walls
We use A-grade Australian sandstone blocks, locally sourced, to create stunning sandstone retaining walls. These walls are visually appealing and become a feature in their own right. They’re a cost-effective solution for retaining large areas, providing multi-tiered yards, or serving as inbuilt seating.
Concrete Sleeper Walls
For structural integrity, we offer concrete sleeper walls with galvanised posts concreted into the ground. Often used under fence lines, these walls come in various finishes to match your aesthetic. At only 80mm thick, they’re ideal for tight spaces and side boundary lines, offering exceptional longevity.
Timber Retaining Walls
The most cost-effective option, timber walls are versatile and compact. Treated timber can withstand the test of time when maintained properly, making it a great choice for raised garden beds and lighter duty retaining walls.
Hard Ground Cover
Paving
Paving is a solid surface alternative to concrete, ideal for paths, patios, garden edging, and stepping stones. It provides a practical solution and can create a beautiful visual feature.
Gravel and Crushed Granite
Gravel and crushed granite offer a cost-effective alternative to concrete. We provide a range of solutions, from high-end substrates for feature projects to cost-effective materials for commercial use. Our meticulous excavation and preparation ensure proper drainage, leveling, and long-lasting results.
Edging
At JCA Hardscapes, we specialise in sandstone garden edging, using high-grade locally sourced mini sandstone blocks to create impactful and visually appealing garden borders. Additionally, we offer a range of edging options to fit any design and budget.
Drainage Solutions
Levels
Proper yard drainage extends beyond drains and pipes. With our excavation and concrete expertise, we create the correct runoff slopes to ensure water flows away from your house, avoiding soggy patches in your yard. This makes your yard appear perfectly flat to the untrained eye.
Drains
We can advise on the best locations for drains and connect them to your existing stormwater system. Options range from cost-effective plastic strip drains to galvanised steel and pit catchment systems.
Retaining Wall Drainage
Any new or existing retaining areas need proper drainage to ensure the longevity of the structure. We backfill retaining walls with ag-line, geofabric, and crushed rock to efficiently drain excess water.
Swail
A rock swail channels large amounts of surface water to a more suitable location, such as stormwater pits or drains. These features are visually appealing and add a structural element to your landscape, built with various stone or rock substrates.
The Soft Stuff
Turf
We source a variety of turf from local growers, including Kikuyu, Wintergreen Couch, Sir Walter Buffalo, Matilda Soft Leaf Buffalo and Shademaster Soft Leaf Buffalo. Each turf variety has unique strengths and appearances. We ensure meticulous preparation for turf installation, using premium turf underlay soil for smooth bases and correct runoff drainage.
Planting
From full hedge installations to delicate floral arrangements, we select and plant the right vegetation to suit your landscape design.
Mulching
Mulch enhances the appearance of your garden and provides practical benefits like moisture retention, nutrient regulation and weed suppression. Options include wood/bark or stone/gravel in varied sizes and colours to match your design and budget needs.
