Landscaping and retaining walls on the Central Coast
Retaining walls, steps, turf and garden areas that finish the yard around your new concrete.
Concrete is usually only half the job
A new driveway or pool surround nearly always leaves work around it: levels to hold, garden beds to rebuild, turf to lay and edges to tidy. We do that too, so you're not chasing another trade to finish it.
Keeping it with one crew means the landscaping is planned around the concrete from day one. Concrete goes in first, the walls, steps and turf follow, and the yard ends up looking designed rather than pieced together.
What clients say about Jye and the team
Jye took on the huge task of transforming our property from a muddy mess into something truly beautiful.
He concreted the driveway and around the house plus sealing, built retaining walls with stairs and a path to the pool, tiled the pool area, and laid turf in both the front and back yards. Jye was meticulous with every detail, kept us informed, and offered expert advice.

We appreciated Jye and his team’s professionalism and dedication - we are super happy with the results. It’s even better than we ever imagined!
Jye and his team at DBS did my entire backyard including a large sandstone retaining wall with over 100 sandstone blocks. He was extremely flexible as our timeline changed multiple times and worked around the pool being out in the ground. We made small changes here and there and everything went smoothly. Would recommend DBS for anyone looking for an entire landscape design.
We have just had Desired Building Solutions complete a full landscaping package on our new build home. They have laid grass, pebbles & stepping stones along with a concrete driveway. They have done the most amazing job and been fantastic to deal with. Highly recommend Jye and the team at Desired Building Solutions
The boys at DBS did a fantastic job opening up the back patio area. They built a beautiful retaining wall with added drainage. They also laided a slab for the shed and did a pathway down the side of the house with a beautiful hob and finished off with a new driveway. My wife and I are extremely happy with the end result and would highly recommend desired Building Solutions to anyone needing concrete or landscaping done at their home. Jye's communication was fantastic. The boys turned up on time and got the job done quickly and with precision.

Landscaping and retaining walls questions
Got a different question? Give Jye a call.
Can you do the whole backyard, not just the concrete?
Yes. Concrete, retaining walls, steps, turf and garden areas can all be one job with one crew.
Does a retaining wall need approval?
It depends on the height, where it sits and what it holds back. Low garden walls are often exempt, but taller walls or ones near a boundary usually need approval and an engineer. Check with your council or a certifier.
