Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical project take?

Most fencing and retaining wall jobs are completed in 3–10 working days. Resin bound driveways usually take 1–3 days. Larger earthworks projects vary depending on scope.

Do you provide free quotes?

Yes! We offer completely free, no-obligation on-site quotes across Christchurch and surrounding areas.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes – fully licensed, SiteWise Gold accredited, and fully insured for your peace of mind.

Do you work on steep Port Hills and Banks Peninsula sites?

Absolutely. We specialise in challenging sites with expert earthworks, gabion baskets, and well-engineered retaining solutions.

What types of fencing do you install?

We install premium timber fencing including horizontal board run, vertical paling, ranch rail, privacy screens, and custom designs using treated pine, macrocarpa, and hardwood.

What’s the difference between timber and gabion retaining walls?

Timber retaining walls are faster and more cost-effective for lower heights. Gabion basket walls are extremely strong, have excellent drainage, and are ideal for steeper slopes and higher walls on the Port Hills.

What are the benefits of resin bound driveways?

Resin bound driveways are permeable (excellent drainage), low maintenance, weed-free, slip-resistant, durable, and look beautiful with natural stone aggregates.
