About retaining walls
Fence lines on sloping blocks often need retaining first, and combining wall and fence in one job gets the engineering and the levels right. Walls above roughly 600mm to 1 metre, depending on the state, need engineering or council approval, and drainage behind the wall decides whether it lasts. Concrete sleepers now dominate over timber for anything meant to outlive a decade.
Getting quotes in Sandiford
For retaining walls, ask each fencer two things up front: the all-inclusive price, and how soon they can attend Sandiford. If the job is not urgent, saying so can shave real money off the quote, since operators can slot you into an existing Mackay run.
Local knowledge counts
Sandiford sits in the Mackay area. Mention the suburb when you enquire and ask the provider to confirm travel, availability and any callout component before you agree to work.
Quick answers
How long does a new fence take to install?+
A typical suburban boundary run of 20 to 30 metres takes one to two days: posts set in concrete on day one, panels or palings after the footings cure. Weather, rock and old fence removal stretch that. Gates and automation are usually fitted last, sometimes on a short return visit.
Colorbond or timber, which is better?+
Colorbond wins on lifespan and zero maintenance; timber wins on upfront cost and looks where a painted or natural finish suits the streetscape. In termite-prone and bushfire-prone areas steel has a clear practical edge. Many blocks sensibly mix both: Colorbond on the boundaries, timber out front.
How much does fencing cost per metre?+
Timber paling fences typically cost $75 to $130 per metre installed, Colorbond $85 to $150, tubular aluminium $120 to $250, and frameless glass pool fencing $275 to $600. Gates, old fence removal and sloping ground add to any of these. Per-metre quotes should state height and materials precisely.
