Fixing a Hidden Drainage Problem on a New Build
On this project the house was a new build, but the old retaining wall behind it was classic subdivision‑era work — drainage wasn’t really considered when the wall went in.

Water was pushing underneath the wall, and even though the builders had installed drains out in the lawn, the soil was already fully saturated before the water ever reached them. The whole back area had basically turned into a swamp and was completely unusable.

To fix it, we installed a subsoil drain along the front of the retaining wall and connected it into the existing drainage system. This catches the water before it can saturate the soil.

What a Subsoil Drain Actually Is
A subsoil drain is designed to intercept groundwater and move it away quickly. For this job we used a 110 mm punched nova‑coil with a protective sock, laid inside a trench and backfilled with drainage scoria.

Here’s how it works:

110 mm punched nova‑coil — the perforations allow groundwater to enter the pipe instead of building up in the soil.

Protective sock — stops fine particles from clogging the pipe, keeping the system working long‑term.

Scoria backfill — creates a fast‑draining path so water moves straight into the pipe instead of sitting in the soil.

Gravity discharge — once the water enters the pipe, it’s carried away safely through the existing drainage network.

Why This Matters for Homeowners
A properly installed subsoil drain:

Prevents waterlogging and swampy lawns

Reduces pressure behind retaining walls

Protects foundations and hardscape areas

Keeps outdoor spaces usable all year

Stops minor drainage issues from becoming major structural problems

Once the drainage was sorted, we brought in fresh topsoil and prepped the area for a new, healthy lawn.

A simple solution with a big impact — turning a boggy mess into a dry, functional backyard again.

Another boundary fence completed — and this one came with a few challenges. From boundary shifts to retaining work and rough weather, this project had a bit of everything.

Project Editorial: Boundary Fence Rebuild

This job turned into a full demonstration of problem‑solving and solid building practice. Once the old fence came down, we discovered the legal boundary was actually 300mm further onto the neighbour’s property, so the entire fence line had to be shifted and rebuilt correctly. The neighbour’s shed was also sitting right on the boundary, which meant every post and rail had to be installed with precision.

At the front of the property, the two sections sat at different heights. To keep the fence stable and tidy, we built a retaining base using 150mm x 50mm H4 retaining boards — strong, durable, and designed for ground contact. While removing the old fence, we also found a phone/internet cable nailed directly to it. We relocated it safely behind the new retaining wall to keep it protected and out of the way.

The rear fence was more straightforward, built on top of the existing wall. The client wanted maximum privacy and security along the bedroom side of the house, so the fence was taken to full height.

And of course — the weather. The kind that turns post holes into puddles and clay into glue. But we pushed through and delivered a clean, solid finish.

Construction & Materials
150mm x 19mm H3.2 palings

H3.2 rails

H4 posts for ground durability

150mm x 50mm H4 retaining boards

Ribbed galvanised fencing nails

Why these materials matter:

H4 posts handle ground contact and resist moisture and decay.

H3.2 rails and palings stay straight and stable in above‑ground exposure.

H4 retaining boards provide strength where the fence meets soil.

Ribbed galvanised nails grip deeper and tighter, preventing palings from loosening over time.

We also installed a new gate using a steel adjustable frame, with palings screwed on. This prevents sagging, keeps the gate square, and gives a long‑lasting, tidy finish.

Despite boundary surprises, shed obstacles, cable relocation, retaining work, and weather challenges, the project came together beautifully. The result is a strong, tidy, long‑lasting fence that gives the client the privacy and security they needed.

If you’re looking to upgrade your boundary, improve privacy, or sort out a tricky fence line, I’m always happy to take a look at your project.

Your Deck, Done Properly From Day One
A good deck comes down to the details — the timber you choose, how it’s fixed, and whether it’s actually built to last. At 2GB Landscaping, decking is something I take real pride in. I use quality timber options like premium pine and hardwoods depending on the look and finish you want, and every board is fixed with stainless steel screws so nothing lifts, twists, or rusts out.

You get a free consultation, help with permits, and a build that’s fully code‑compliant even when a permit isn’t required. I walk you through everything so you know exactly what’s happening and why — no shortcuts, no guesswork.

Alongside decking, I also handle fencing, retaining walls, pergolas, concrete, paving, lawns, drainage, garden edging, and full section clean‑ups.

Straight communication. Solid workmanship. Built properly from day one.

Boundary Fence Replacement – Project Update
Even though we deal directly with one client, we always coordinate with everyone involved. Anyone who’s worked around boundary lines knows things can get interesting, so keeping communication clear and consistent is key.
This project involved removing the old boundary fence and installing a brand‑new one. What sounded simple came with a few challenges. The existing fence was built on a concrete mowing edge, which meant cutting the old posts off at ground level and trimming back the concrete to make room for new posts.
Access was another factor — a tight shared ROW meant deliveries had to be carefully managed so neighbours could still come and go without disruption. As always, the best tool for that was communication. Keeping everyone in the loop kept the process smooth and the peace intact.
The project is now complete. We installed the new fence, built a matching gate, tidied the entire area, and left everything looking clean, sharp, and well‑finished. Everyone’s happy with the result, and it’s a great start to the year.
Once again, we were privileged to work with amazing clients. It’s genuinely a pleasure partnering with people who care about their homes and watching their excitement grow as the project takes shape. Seeing that transformation — not just in the space, but in the way clients light up when everything comes together — is one of the best parts of what we do.

Even though we only deal directly with one customer, we always help coordinate and communicate with everyone involved. Anyone who’s dealt with boundary lines knows things can get interesting, so keeping everyone on the same page is key.
This project involves removing the old fence and installing a brand‑new one. Sounds simple, but the existing fence sits on a concrete mowing edge. That means cutting the old posts off at ground level and cutting back the concrete edge to make room for the new posts.
For these fences we normally install a 150mm x 50mm H4 base board. This helps prevent the palings from rotting and protects them from lawnmowers, weed‑eaters, and general wear and tear.
Another complication on this job is access. It’s a tight site on a shared ROW, so we’ve got to manage deliveries carefully and make sure we’re not blocking neighbours coming or going. The best tool for that is simple — communication. Keeping everyone in the loop makes the whole process smoother and keeps the peace while we get the work done.
A solid start to the year — looking forward to transforming more spaces in 2026.
