This property in Torquay is one that naturally needs attention. It has amazing views and a strong architectural presence. Because it is set against the scenic vista of Torbay, it was essential that any external works matched both the setting and the client’s aspirations.
Leys Construction were delighted to be referred to this project by our colleagues at Gro Design. They brought us in to address remedial works on a failing retaining structure. What began as a necessary structural intervention quickly evolved into a high-end garden transformation.

Our Approach
We began by installing a steel post and sleeper retaining wall. This provided the structural integrity required while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic that complemented the property.
With the structural works complete, we moved on to the wider garden revamp:
- Freshly laid lawns, softening the overall design and bringing balance to the hard landscaping.
- Sleeper steps with resin-bound inserts, offering both durability and visual contrast.
- A sleek porcelain patio area, perfect for entertaining and enjoying the surrounding views.
- Dwarf walls to define spaces and add character.

The Result
The finished project is a blend of structure and style. The new retaining solution ensures long-term stability. The landscaped garden delivers a refined, modern outdoor space. Everything is tailored to both the property and its stunning location.
We’re proud to have worked alongside Gro Design and the client to deliver a project that not only resolved critical issues but elevated the entire outdoor environment.
