Thanks so much for Glenn and his team for the amazing work and attention to detail. Our project required engineering all handled by them and since some massive rain events in SE Qld have not lost any (I mean absolutely any) back fill/gravel during this time. Now
Cornerstone has done a spectacular job of our rock walls. I highly recommend Glen and his team. Very reliable, creative and efficient.
Cornerstone Boulder Walls exceeded all expectations! From start to finish, their team was professional, reliable, and incredibly skilled. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the finished result looks absolutely amazing. They communicated clearly throughout the entire process and completed the job on time and within budget. We Highly recommend cornerstone Boulder Walls to anyone looking for top-tier work! The result speaks for itself and has transformed our place to a home 🏡 thankyou guys for the incredible job
It gives me pleasure to write this review for Glen and his team who constructed a significant 100 metre long x 4 metre high sandstone block retaining wall for the College. Besides being great value for money and hassle free, the workmanship was exceptional. Philip Stay Project Mgr Northside Christian College
Glenn did an excellent job on my own house about 18 months ago. It was so good and so beautiful that all my friends and relations commented that what a fantastic retaining wall.I was very impressed with his artistic work that I asked him to do another retaining wall for my investment property. Again, both the tenants and many passers by commented how nice the retaining wall.Glenn is a very honest business and trades person to do business. Moreover, he is easy to deal with. Nothing is too much for him. He and Jimmy will always go out of their way to assist you and make sure the retaining wall is what you really want. They will also suggest good and constructive ideas to make the retaining wall better and nicer.In the final analysis, I only have the best things to say about Glenn and his work. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to you.Thank you Glenn for your excellent work.
Glenn and his amazing team have completed over 300 lineal meters at our home in Warner. The has transformed our property into multi tiers and add massive value to us. We now have an infinity pool, tiered gardens, functional water tank storage, granny flat and a heavy vehicle entrance. None of this would have been possible without Glenn’s vision and flexibility to work with us. Massive thanks. Highly recommended
Glen and the team did a great job. Provided good advice at the beginning to help us decide on the best approach, and then did the work professionally. Couldn't fault them.
Carried out earthworks and built my original set of stone retaining walls back in 2020 - 4m high, 1.6m high, single boulder high and stone stairs in different areas. Turned a sloped unusable property into a house with a backyard. Six years on and have had 100% satisfaction with the walls and their stability. Zero troubles. Plenty of people asked who did it and how to contact them. Photos are from current day - solid as ever.
As a professional landscaping contractor, I rely on other trades for certain project requirements. Glen and Cornerstone have worked on several projects in collaboration with my company. His Professionalism, attention to detail and ease of communication have been outstanding. He and his team provide a product and service that is second to none. I would highly recommend Cornerstone for all of your rock wall and retaining needs. Looking forward to the next project with Glen and his team.
A big thank you to Glen and his son Tim for the sandstone retaining wall & stairs they built for me. The large retaining wall was built in a difficult area where no other company was willing to take on. The amount of care and precision taken to make the wall level and straight was very impressive. It is hard to find the old fashion service these days where it’s not just about the money, but also about getting the job done right. Thank you again guys.
Glen and his crew of operators have been awesome to work with. First class workmanship and stone from the best quarries in South east qld. Glen helped us navigate certifications, council, surveyors and anyone else we needed to get the work done. We had a tight site, high expectations and the team followed through. Glen gave us a realistic budget and timeframes and stuck to it.For any size wall or earthworks, they are highly recommended.
Glen and his team went truly ABOVE AND BEYOND for me! I was desperate for sandstone stairs for my wedding which was only a month away and every other person I spoke to (which was about 15) told me it couldn’t be done on such short notice. But Glen was awesome and pulled it off! I cannot recommend him enough, the absolute epitome of customer service and a great team. Don’t bother looking to anyone else, this is the company you want to deal with!!!
This review is long overdue but 11 years ago Glen and his team built a (small for them), 2m high x about 30m long boundary line retaining wall and 3 smaller retaining walls and I could not be happier with their workmanship. The “exacting fit” of every boulder is frankly impressive! Everything looks as “precise and perfect” today as they did when they were first built.
In 2007, Cornerstone Boulder Walls built the retaining walls to secure the house pad prior to the construction of our home. This involved 3 major 2m high walls - two 40m long and one 60m long. It was amazing to watch Glen work as he assembled a 3D jigsaw puzzle. He has an incredible ability to look at a pile of rocks, select the right stone, spin it around and put it in place perfectly matching what was needed next. In the 14 years since, there has been no movement or change in the walls and it has been a very attractive and stable platform for our house. True craftsmen are hard to come by, but Glen is one of them. We got him back to do some cut sandstone steps in 2018 and they are fantastic also!
Glen did a terrific job excavating our front driveway and building a sandstone rock wall and sandstone stairs to our front door. He is a master of the excavator, nudging each stone in right place to make the perfect rock wall. He is professional, was able to guide us through the build process and respond to our queries quickly. Highly recommend Glen if you need some excavation/ rock wall work done at your place.
I had a boulder wall completed a few months ago. It took me quite a while to make a decision and I had numerous questions for Glen during those months. Glen was most helpful and happily came out several times to answer my questions.
Well, the end result far exceeds my expectations, no matter who visits my property, (friends or tradespeople) they are all amazed how well the wall has been built particularly the straight, level rows of boulders. They all say, who built this wall, gee they take pride in what they do.
Each rock was carefully placed and if it was not the fit they were looking for down it came and another rock was selected.
If you are considering a boulder wall then you should talk to Glen at Cornerstone Boulder Walls.
From my experience they will offer honest factual guidance based on their years of experience and build you a wall that you will be extremely happy with.
