Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Apr 06, 2011 8:43 pm Hi, Long time follower, first time poster. I seek recommendations from members who have used fencing contractors - who also do retaining walls as well - servicing the North West of Melbourne (Hume Council). I have a fence, however I need to pull it out, build a retaining wall along the fence line and place the existing Colourbond fence on top. As a fair bit of soil would need to go in to fill and level around the house, I am considering concrete retaining wall to provide a strong foundation for the fence as well as the soil fill. Do advise. Thanks in advance. AaK Re: Fencing Contractors Melbourne North West area 2Apr 10, 2011 12:40 pm Like AaK above, I too seek information on fencing contractors within Hume City Council area. They will need to be able to pull down all existing fences and replace. One section backs on to a council park, so the contractors will need to gain council approval for this section. Any advice is welcomed Cheers, MJay Re: Fencing Contractors Melbourne North West area 3Apr 10, 2011 2:23 pm Hi MJay, The post has had 90 views, so looks like there are others who seek the same. However, no one knows of a reliable & affordable fencing contractor. Meanwhile, if I get information from other sources, I'll keep you posted. AaK Re: Fencing Contractors Melbourne North West area 4Apr 14, 2011 12:35 pm Thanks Aak, I need fencing quite urgently and if I select at random from the local paper, the fence may end up as ******* as the one it needs to replace. There is at least 40 metres worth and the old fences need to be removed. You'd think someone knows a fencing contractor who does a good job... ? Re: Fencing Contractors Melbourne North West area 5Apr 14, 2011 4:39 pm Hi MJay, I agree, which is why I turned to this website. I have received some really good information from here during my build. Hence my first port of call. Hume Council's preferred contractors is listed in Fencing Specifications document at http://www.hume.vic.gov.au/Building_Pla ... ns/Fencing. I was looking at ServiceCentral.com.au for possible suggestions: Lee Brothers Fencing Group 6/70 Chifley Drive, Preston, Victoria, Australia Phone: (03) 9484 4544 Fax: (03) 9484 0352 Another possible place (recommended by Hume Council) to locate contractors is to look at fencingonline.com.au Other than ServiceCentral.com.au, I cannot find anyone or anyplace providing recommendations for fencing contractors. Do keep me posted. Regards AaK Hi, can anyone recommend a custom home builder who can build in north east area? Looking to build a custom 4-br energy-efficient home with a max budget of 750k.
