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.

Smart Retaining Wall Prep for Plumpton Sites
We build to suit your block, not the other way around.
The land in Plumpton has its quirks. Many properties sit on reactive clay soil that expands and contracts with the weather. That kind of movement can lead to cracking, leaning walls, or even drainage issues if the ground isn’t prepared correctly. That’s why excavation is the most important step before your retaining wall even goes up.
Here’s what we see most often in Plumpton:
- Sloped lots that need levelling for backyards, patios, or sheds
- Garden beds and retaining walls along fence lines
- Water is pooling where proper drainage hasn’t been installed
- Tiered landscaping projects that require multiple retaining points
We’ve done many similar jobs nearby in Kororoit, where soil movement is just as active. Every block is different, and we treat it that way.

What Does Retaining Wall Installation Actually Involve?
It’s not just digging a trench and laying blocks. A good retaining wall starts with smart planning, clean cuts, and well-compacted ground. We begin with a proper site cut or bench, then dig footings at the right depth for the wall style. Drainage prep is also key to prevent water from building up behind the wall. Once we’ve trimmed and compacted the base, your builder or landscaper can take it from there with confidence.
Our wall prep and excavation services cover:
- Cutting into sloped or uneven sites
- Trenching for wall footings
- Removing excess soil and waste
- Compacting and trimming for stability
- Laying the groundwork for drainage
Suitable for:
- Concrete sleeper walls
- Timber sleeper walls
- Masonry or block retaining walls
- Rock or boulder walls
- Tiered and multi-level retaining walls
