Stacked Stone and Concrete Walls in Fig Tree Pocket, Indooroopilly and Kenmore Hills

Fig Tree Pocket sits in a pocket on the northern bank of the Brisbane River, which forms its eastern, southern and western edges. We've built five walls there, a combination of stacked stone and plain precast, and two photos of that work appear below.

Indooroopilly, next door to the north-east, has three jobs of the same two types, again with two photos.

Kenmore Hills is the one suburb here where customers have chosen infill fences, along with stacked stone. The Superior Infill Collection™ uses 2-metre columns over a concrete base one metre high, and fills the open section above with timber pickets, slats, balustrades or wrought iron, so a garden or outlook stays in view.

Sinnamon Park's three jobs are stacked stone and standard walls. Further out, Brookfield has two standard walls and a photo on this page, and we've also built a stacked stone wall in Pullenvale and two standard walls in Kenmore.

Each Superior Stone Collection™ panel carries the shape of a 19th-century Spanish wall laid stone by stone. The colour comes from mineral acid stains that react with the concrete surface rather than sitting on top of it, which is why the finish reads as weathered and varied rather than flat.

One decision people don't expect: the stone texture is on one face, while both faces carry the header beam profile. Work out whether the stone should face the street or your garden before install day, and on a side boundary, talk it over with the neighbour first.

If stone isn't right for the house, a Superior Signature Collection™ wall offers a smooth precast face on both sides, ready for whatever paint colour you choose.

Our walls sit on 450mm pier footings drilled every 3.2 metres rather than a continuous trench, which disturbs far less ground along the boundary. Mature trees, garden beds and irrigation near the line are easier to work around when the only digging is a hole at each column.

Panels are cast and cured at our Alberton factory and craned into place, so from first footing to last panel a typical job here runs two to three days, access permitting. Tell us about steep driveways or tight side passages when you enquire.
