In Almog\u00eda hardly any finca is flat. Among hills of almonds and olives, escollera walls are the longest-lasting way to hold up terraces, track embankments and platforms for houses, sheds or pools. We build escollera rock walls in Almog\u00eda<\/strong> with natural stone blocks placed by machine, with foundations and drainage, so the wall stays put for decades.<\/p>MURES is based in V\u00e9lez-M\u00e1laga and works in Almog\u00eda with a trusted local team, so we can visit your plot, check the access and give you a fixed quote.

Almost every plot is on a slope, and to gain usable ground (a threshing floor, a vegetable plot, a platform for the house) you have to terrace and retain the soil.<\/p>
Heavy rain also does damage here. The autumn 2024 DANA storms cut off tracks and burst stream banks in hamlets such as Barranco del Sol. A well-founded, well-drained escollera wall lets water through and withstands these events better than a block wall without drainage or a loose earth bank.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Escollera wall prices in Almog\u00eda<\/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 Almog\u00eda: 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 Almog\u00eda the biggest factor is usually access<\/strong>: many fincas are on narrow dirt tracks, which affects the size of the lorry and the time on site.<\/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>
