Building in Rostrevor
Rostrevor pushes right against Black Hill and Morialta's ridgelines, and its upper streets are as steep as suburban Adelaide gets. Yards here are commonly tiered two or three times, and the original owner-built retaining — random stone, railway sleepers, brick planters — is now failing in waves, making structural wall replacement the suburb's steady demand. The stony outwash ground gives excellent founding once you reach it, but reaching it means machinery and bits chosen for rock. Morialta's adjacency also brings bushfire overlays to the highest streets.
Drainage problems in Rostrevor trace back to its ground and its levels: gravelly fans and clay bands at the foot of Black Hill — augers ring on stone without warning, while rising hard against the face of the ranges, with some of the metro area's steepest residential streets. 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 Campbelltown requirements, and surfaces are reinstated over the trench lines — so by the first serious winter rain, a Rostrevor yard that used to pond is walkable within the hour.
