Alhaur\u00edn de la Torre spreads out between the Sierra de Mijas and the Guadalhorce river plain, with many hillside urbanisations and sloping plots. Levelling ground for a house, a pool or a garden, or holding up a crumbling embankment, are everyday jobs here.

Many urbanisations are on hillsides, with stepped plots where level differences of 1 to 3 m have to be dealt with.

The town hall itself channelled the upper section of the Arroyo Blanquillo with escollera and retaining walls to prevent flood damage.

Escollera wall prices in Alhaur\u00edn de la Torre<\/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 de la Torre: 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 de la Torre, in urbanisations with narrow streets or plots with little room to manoeuvre, smaller machinery is sometimes needed, which affects the timescale and the price.<\/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>
