Highton sits on the rise above the Barwon River, and it is the most genuinely sloping suburb in Geelong. Split-level houses, stepped driveways and terraced back yards are everywhere here, which means a retaining wall is often not a nice-to-have but the thing that makes the block usable at all.
Select Civil Group is based a few minutes away in Geelong and works across Highton and Wandana Heights regularly. On this kind of ground the wall height, the drainage behind it and the engineering are the whole job, so we build to specs rather than to a rule of thumb.
