Villanueva de la Concepci\u00f3n sits at the foot of El Torcal de Antequera, and you can tell on every plot: steep slopes, stony ground and tracks that suffer in every storm. We build escollera rock walls in Villanueva de la Concepci\u00f3n<\/strong> with natural stone blocks to retain soil, terrace fincas and protect tracks, with the foundations and drainage this ground needs.<\/p>We work in the area with a trusted team, a few kilometres from Almog\u00eda, and coordinate the job from MURES.

The rains of 2024 and 2025 damaged several municipal tracks, which the town hall has had to repair. On private fincas it’s the same: slipping embankments and undermined tracks. An escollera wall with drainage is the longest-lasting way to prevent it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our quotes include stone, machinery, placement and drainage backfill. In Villanueva de la Concepci\u00f3n the main factors are the slope<\/strong> (the steeper it is, the more height and stone) and access<\/strong> along country tracks.<\/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>
