Alhaur\u00edn el Grande stretches across the northern slope of the Sierra de Mijas down to the Guadalhorce river plain, with citrus fincas, vegetable plots and many villas on sloping ground. Here escollera walls do two jobs: creating level ground on sloping plots and protecting tracks and boundaries from the water coming down off the mountains.

Escollera wall prices in Alhaur\u00edn el Grande<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThere is no fixed price for escollera walls in Alhaur\u00edn el Grande: it depends on the length and height of the wall, the stone size and the conditions of each plot. Our quotes include stone, machinery, placement and drainage backfill. In Alhaur\u00edn el Grande the price depends a lot on whether the job is on the river plain (easy access) or on the mountain slope, where tracks are narrower and steeper.<\/p>
What affects the price most:<\/p>
- Wall height:<\/strong> above 2\u20133 m you need bigger stone and sometimes a technical study.<\/li>
- Access for lorries and machinery:<\/strong> narrow or unsurfaced tracks make transport more expensive.<\/li>
- Type of ground:<\/strong> rock, clay or a stream bed all change the foundations.<\/li>
- Dry-laid or concrete-bedded escollera:<\/strong> concrete-bedded costs more, but some sites need it.<\/li><\/ul>
