Concrete Footings For Block Fences
Planning a new block fence on the Sunshine Coast?
The footing is one of the most important parts of the entire project. A properly constructed concrete footing provides the foundation required to support the weight of the blockwork above and helps ensure the finished structure is stable and durable.
Coastwide Concreting & Co can complete the concrete footing component of your block fence project, including excavation, preparation, formwork, reinforcement and concrete placement as required for the project.
This also makes us a great starting point if you’re planning a new block fence but aren’t sure which trade needs to come first.
Working With Local Brick & Blocklayers
For projects involving brick or blockwork, Coastwide Concreting & Co works closely with Coastwide Brick & Blocklaying, operated by Dylan’s brother Sam.
This means customers planning projects such as block fences and walls can work with experienced local trades for both the concrete footing and blockwork stages of their project.
Our team can complete the concrete footing ready for the next stage, while Sam and his team specialise in professional brick and blocklaying across the Sunshine Coast.
Why Proper Concrete Footings Matter
A footing isn’t simply concrete poured into the ground. It forms the foundation that distributes the weight of the structure above and provides the support it needs over time. Several factors can influence how a footing needs to be constructed, including:
Ground Conditions
Different soil and site conditions can affect preparation and footing requirements.
The Structure Being Supported
A small garden wall and a substantial block fence won’t necessarily require the same footing design.
Site Levels
Sloping and uneven sites can require additional preparation before concrete work begins.
Drainage
Water movement and drainage around the structure need to be considered as part of the overall project.
Engineering requirements
Some structures may require engineering or specific footing designs depending on the project.
Long-Term Durability
Properly constructed footings help reduce the risk of movement, cracking and structural issues over time, providing a strong and stable foundation for the structure above.
Our Concrete Footing Process
1
Site Assessment
We start by discussing your project and reviewing the area where the footing will be constructed. This helps us understand site access, ground conditions and the structure the footing will support.
2
Excavation & Preparation
The footing area is excavated and prepared to the required dimensions. Proper preparation is essential for creating a stable foundation.
3
Formwork & Reinforcement
Where required, formwork and steel reinforcement are installed according to the project specifications or engineering requirements.
4
Concrete Placement
Concrete is poured and carefully placed to create a strong, consistent foundation for the structure above.
5
Ready For The Next Stage
Once the concrete has adequately cured, the footing can provide the foundation for the next stage of construction, such as blockwork or fencing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are concrete footings used for?
Concrete footings create a stable foundation for structures such as block walls, fences, retaining walls and other residential structures. They help distribute the load of the structure above into the ground.
Do you install concrete footings for block fences?
Yes. Coastwide Concreting & Co can complete concrete footings for block fences and walls across the Sunshine Coast. We also work closely with a local brick and blocklaying team for projects requiring blockwork after the footing has been completed.
How deep should concrete footings be?
There isn’t one standard depth suitable for every project. Footing dimensions depend on factors such as the structure being supported, ground conditions, site conditions and any relevant engineering or construction requirements.
Do concrete footings need reinforcement?
Many concrete footing projects require steel reinforcement, but the requirements depend on the design and purpose of the footing. Where plans or engineering specifications are provided, the footing should be constructed accordingly.
Can you organise the blockwork after the footing is complete?
For projects requiring brick or blockwork, we work closely with Coastwide Brick & Blocklaying. We can discuss the concrete component of your project and help make coordinating the different stages easier.
Do you provide concrete footings for retaining walls?
We can assist with concrete footings for suitable retaining wall and block wall projects. The requirements will depend on the wall design, site conditions and any engineering requirements.
