Build brick retaining wall

$500

Templestowe Lower VIC 3107, Australia

28th Sep 2025

Hi Taskers! We are looking to have 2 brick retaining walls built in our front courtyard. The longer of the 2 walls is approx. 4.5m and the the smaller one is approx. 1.5m. The photos show a red outline where we'd like the walls built. Note: the wall isn't to be built against the existing one and will need a space between the existing wall and the new one for soil/plants. We have the bricks and the wall is to be 4 bricks high (3 larger bricks with a flat one on top). We are looking for someone experienced and reliable please, and who has done this type of work before. I believe the ground would need to be levelled with a concrete base for the bricks? We are flexible on times but would love to have this completed over the next 1 - 2 weeks. Thanks
