Services
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls transform uneven slopes into functional spaces while enhancing aesthetics. We construct gravity, anchored, and cantilever walls using durable materials like concrete blocks, natural stone, and timber. Our designs ensure structural integrity and drainage efficiency, creating versatile outdoor areas for gardens, seating, or pathways.
Paving
Custom paving solutions create durable, visually appealing outdoor surfaces. We install patios, pathways, and courtyards using premium pavers, concrete, or natural stone. Designs prioritise slip resistance, drainage, and seamless integration with existing landscapes for cohesive, long-lasting results.
Gardens
We design and build low-maintenance, climate-appropriate gardens tailored to client preferences. Services include soil preparation, plant selection, irrigation systems, and hardscaping elements. Our focus is on creating sustainable, vibrant spaces that enhance property value and usability.
Driveways
Durable driveway solutions combine functionality with curb appeal. We construct driveways using concrete, pavers, or asphalt, ensuring proper grading and drainage. Custom designs complement architectural styles while withstanding heavy vehicle traffic for long-term performance.
Pool Surroundings
Pool surrounds integrate safety, aesthetics, and practicality. We install non-slip surfaces, designated lounging areas, and complementary plantings. Designs adhere to safety regulations while maximising usable space around existing or new pools.

Report
BGI Turned our unusable back garden into a wonderful low maintenance garden. Included retaining walls; pathways; slab/pavers; changing an unusable section of the garden which was down a steep slope into a beautiful space. Also got good rates on plants etc. A great attention to detail and fine workmanship and service. Would definitely recommend.
