Very impressed with Alex and team at Hammer Excavations. They were professional, quick to respond to queries, gave great advice on our backyard and the quality of their work was fantastic. We had a difficult site to work with, but Alex and his team knew what needed to be done to improve it and make it look amazing. Would highly recommend Hammer Excavations and will be calling them for our next project.

Why Kew Properties Rely on Retaining Walls
Kew is full of beautiful elevated homes, mature trees, and leafy streets but that elevation comes with soil pressure, erosion risks, and uneven yards.
- Many properties sit on a slope, which means walls are essential to hold back soil and prevent movement.
- The clay-based soil in Kew swells and shrinks with moisture, making stable retaining walls a must for protecting structures and landscaping.
- Our work helps solve level changes, protects garden beds, and adds structure to outdoor spaces.
- Clients here often request rock, concrete sleeper, or tiered walls to blend with their heritage or architecturally designed homes.
- One of the area’s landmarks, Studley Park Boathouse, shows how retaining walls can support both functionality and natural beauty.
We also service neighbouring suburbs, including Fairfield, for clients looking for the same reliable results.
