Do you have the skills and experience you need to make your feature walls everything you want them to be?

Unique Beauty

A rammed earth wall will be the stand-out signature addition to your home. Every wall is different, reflecting your individual creativity and its local sourcing.

Sustainability

Rammed earth walls are built from their environment so they come with a low carbon footprint. Their sustainable sourcing reflects your commitment to the environment.

THERMAL BENEFITS

With a high thermal mass, rammed earth walls become incredible temperature regulators. They keep the heat out in summer and release it on cold winter nights. Nothing is better for energy efficiency.

Enhanced Living

Their acoustic properties make rammed earth walls incredible noise barriers. Their natural colours change appearance throughout the day, creating a dynamic experience of the lived space.

All the Support you need to create your own masterpiece.

There’s nothing like the satisfaction of designing and building your own home, and nothing makes a statement like a Rammed Earth wall. But for first-timers there’s a lot to get on top of. We’ve been doing this for years and helped lots of owner-builders. At Earthscape Walls we’ve got the knowledge, equipment and materials to help. We’ll make sure you’ve got what you need, every step of the way.

TECHNICAL ADVICE

You only get one shot at building a rammed earth wall so there’s a lot at stake. We’ll give you all the advice and technical support you need.

MATERIALS

We’ll help you to:
  • Access local materials
  • Blend mixtures
  • Add concrete / geopolymers & water

We had a clear vision of what we wanted but we needed someone experienced enough to work with our sloping site, and our team of builders and contractors with zero rammed earth experience. Earthscape Walls ensured it turned out the way we wanted and looked professional.
