I am new to the forum but have been a 'guest' for some time - reading all your helpful advice - so thank you!
We are almost finished building. Our block has about 1m fall from left to right. As part of our contract, our builder included some retaining walls down the front left and back right boundaries of our block (I hope this makes sense).
However, these walls do not extend down the whole length of both sides of the block (ie no retaining walls on back left or front right sides). So we are concerned about where our fence is going to go. Obviously we want the fence built on top of the retaining walls to give us some privacy (our left neighbour's house is built on much higher ground due to the slope and would be able to see over the fence if we built it straight onto the existing soil level).
So it seems we will need to get extra retaining walls built and hopefully share the costs with our neighbours. Does anyone know how much retaining walls cost per metre and who builds them (ie fencing companies, landscapers?)
Or is there an alternative way to get our (Colorbond) fencing installed whilst still being at a reasonable height to maintain privacy?
Would love to hear from anyone who has built on a slope and what you did.
Many thanks
