From Stone Walls to Garden Rooms — Built to Last, Finished with Care
Landscaping with Purpose and Precision
We’re not your average garden landscapers. With a background in structural building work and restoration, we specialise in robust, long-lasting outdoor improvements that solve problems as well as add value.
We work with natural and reclaimed materials where appropriate, and we’re just as comfortable working on a rural stone cottage as a modern new build.
Our landscaping and garden services include:
- Retaining walls and boundary walls (stone, block, or rendered)
- Traditional stone walling and re-pointing
- Patios, paved areas and garden flooring
- Drainage improvements and flood-conscious landscaping
- Raised beds, steps and pathways
- Garden structures – including summer houses, annexes, man/woman caves, and even timber garden rooms, garden gyms, yoga studios, office spaces, and bars/pubs. If you can imagine it, we can construct it.
- Concrete pads for hot tubs, sheds or outdoor kitchens
- Brick barbecues
- Hard landscaping and general outdoor construction
- Domestic projects as well as civic projects (such as repairing the Aberfan Memorial Garden stone wall) and commercial projects.
Built for Welsh Weather
South Wales is no stranger to rain, run-off, and steep gardens. We design and construct with drainage and longevity in mind — ensuring retaining walls are properly supported, surfaces are laid with adequate falls, and everything is built to withstand our challenging climate.
Add Usable Space to Your Property
Whether you want a space to relax, work from home, or entertain — we can help you make the most of your outdoor footprint. Our garden rooms and outbuildings are built like real structures, with proper insulation, timber framing, electrics and cladding options to suit your style and budget.
No Fuss. No Shortcuts.
We take pride in offering reliable, skilled landscaping with a builder’s mindset. That means solid groundworks, proper preparation, and a finish that won’t need redoing next year.
From first dig to final sweep, we treat your property like it’s our own — and we won’t leave until the job’s done right.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a retaining wall or garden room?
In most cases, small retaining walls and outbuildings like garden rooms fall under permitted development. However, if your property is in a conservation area, or the structure is particularly large or close to a boundary, planning may be required. We’ll help you understand the rules before we begin.
What’s the difference between a retaining wall and a boundary wall?
A retaining wall holds back earth or supports changes in ground level — meaning it has to be structurally sound and properly drained. A boundary wall simply marks a property line. We specialise in both, using the correct materials and techniques for each.
What materials do you use for patios and paving?
We work with a range of materials including natural stone, porcelain, sandstone, reclaimed slabs, and traditional concrete flags. We’ll help you choose the best option for your style, drainage needs, and budget — and lay it properly for long-term durability.
Can you help improve drainage in my garden?
Yes. Poor drainage is a common issue in South Wales, especially on sloped plots or clay-heavy ground. We can install soakaways, French drains, channel drainage, and adjust levels to encourage natural run-off — preventing water pooling or damage to nearby structures.
Do you build garden rooms and outdoor offices?
Absolutely. Our garden rooms are built to last — using proper timber framing, insulation, breathable membranes, cladding, and roofing systems. We can also prepare concrete bases, sort electrics, and finish interiors if required.
I have an old stone wall that's starting to crumble — can it be repaired?
Yes. We carry out sympathetic repairs and re-pointing on traditional stone walls, using lime mortar where needed to maintain breathability. We can also rebuild collapsed sections or improve drainage behind the wall to prevent further movement.
Can you take on jobs during the winter months?
Yes, although some tasks (like paving or rendering) may be weather-dependent. Structural work, wall building, groundwork, and indoor prep for garden rooms can often be done year-round. We’ll always work with the conditions to maintain quality.
Do you offer low-maintenance landscaping solutions?
Definitely. We understand that not everyone wants a high-maintenance garden. We can design paved areas, gravel beds, composite decking, and other solutions that look good with minimal upkeep — ideal for landlords or second homes.
What’s the typical lifespan of a retaining wall or patio?
When built properly — with the right footings, drainage, and materials — a retaining wall can last 30+ years. Patios and paths should last just as long with correct preparation. We never skimp on the groundwork, which is key to durability.
How do I get started — do you offer design help?
Yes. Whether you’ve got a sketch or just an idea, we’re happy to help plan the layout, materials and scope of your project. We can work to your vision or offer our own recommendations based on what works best for your space and goals.
