Building in Tea Tree Gully
Tea Tree Gully keeps its village bones — the 1854 hotel, the stone chapel — while its residential streets climb the slopes toward Anstey Hill. Elevated blocks here almost universally carry level changes handled decades ago with materials now at end-of-life, so wall replacement and terrace rebuilding anchor most projects. The gully's clays hide quartzite floaters that turn a routine post-hole into a rock job without notice. North-east families are practical clients: they want durable, low-maintenance outdoor spaces that handle kids, dogs and the summer heat coming off the ranges.
Drainage problems in Tea Tree Gully trace back to its ground and its levels: foothill clays with quartzite floaters, shallow to rock in the gully walls, while the historic gully itself plus benched slopes rising to Anstey Hill's face. Our fix starts with a laser survey of where water enters, stalls and can legally leave — then cut-and-fill, ag-drains and stormwater are designed as one system rather than patched piecemeal.
Every connection to the legal point of discharge is done to City of Tea Tree Gully requirements, and surfaces are reinstated over the trench lines — so by the first serious winter rain, a Tea Tree Gully yard that used to pond is walkable within the hour.
