Economical building with boulder walls

The state of Queensland is a highly populated, urban state that is located at the foot of the Great Divider Range. It is known as the “sunshine state” and is home to some of the most beautiful and attractive cities of Australia. Among them is the Gold Coast. This city is located on the southern border of Australia, about 80km away from the state’s capital Brisbane. The Gold Coast is a well known tourist destination which is known for its sunny, tropical climate; surfing beaches; theme parks; and nightlife. The city is a top choice for new constructions and new settlements as it is easily accessible by road, rail and air while being situated in a convenient position. The gold coast is situated in such a strategic location that it is close enough to the city for people to access it easily and fast while being far enough for its occupants to be free of the chaos of city life. As a majority of the city has a sloping terrain it is not an easy place for constructions to be made. Furthermore most of the Gold Coast used to be a wetland and today it has been converted in to a system of manmade waterways and islands. The slopes coupled with the poor soil conditions have lead to landfills being almost imperative when it comes to constructions. Landfills are used mostly to level the slopes. They create larger usable spaces on construction sites which can be used for large lawns or bigger buildings. Due to this retaining walls are commonly used as they are used to avoid erosion. They hold back the soil material used in landfills and also allow rain water to seep through without allowing the soil to get washed away. This also helps to stop rain water from flooding in to filled land areas. Many types of materials can be for retaining walls like rocks, timber, masonry, sandstone, rubble and boulders. A common choice is boulder walls Gold Coast which are made of natural stones that are tightly packed together. They are a durable and economical type of retaining walls and are a perfect choice for those who wish to cut costs while preserving the beauty and stability of their constructions and are not very expensive. As a result boulder retaining walls are a perfect choice for anyone!
