First site back after the summer break, I’m standing on a sloped Hamilton South block with a stringline, a soil auger, and a nervous owner asking if the wall will “stay put” this time. The short answer: it will—if the groundworks are right. That starts with choosing professional excavation services Newcastle homeowners trust to plan drainage, bearing, and access before a bucket hits dirt. Retaining walls don’t fail in a week; they fail in the design and the dig. Get those two right, and the blocks, sleepers, or reinforced concrete have a fighting chance against water, time, and clay that swells like a sponge.
