Lovely gardens and cafe only downside was the peace and tranquility was spoilt by the noise of grass cutting pity they can't do this before or after the gardens are closed for the dayPs if you are thinking of expanding a Japanese water garden would be nice.

Beautiful spot. A pleasant café with plentiful outdoor and indoor seating. Service friendly and efficient. Food good and a decent cup of coffee. A member of staff chased after us to hand over a forgotten fleece. Plant sales looks excellent and the gardens are a treasure. Well worth a visit on all levels More...

Nice garden, mean owner. We bought a plant and paid for it. Picked it up and the main stem of a plant broke. Shop refused to exchange. ‘It’s no good to us.’ Spoilt the visit and we will not return. More...

Went to the open day, fantastic plants, helpful staff. Went for tea and cake. Three different cakes, all terrible dry. Waited nearly a hour and found the place totally disorganised. Not enough tables and the staff gave poor excuses More...

We cannot thank DG Bastins enough, for our amazing garden. We had a few ideas of what we had in mind for some of the garden, these guys were brilliant coming up with ideas and designs. We were totally involved and included through out the build . Family is how we feel about all of the team. Totally trustworthy, polite, so hard working and wanted to ensure we were happy with everything.Thank you so much, Tommy and Sam for your attention to detail. We can’t wait to show of our beautiful garden. We would not hesitate to recommend DG Bastin. Great job. More...

A very beautiful private house gardens. The work is lovely. There are benches scattered throughout providing good rest stops. The only limitation is a single toilet block at the entrance. The cafe on site boasts a good range of food very fairly priced. Beautifully situated and well maintained. Well worth a visit. More...

Visited this beautiful and calm place with my parents and their dog. £10.50 entrance but free for RHS members on a Friday. Stopped for tea and rather delicious cake at the tea room. Hopefully the pictures will convey how beautiful it is there More...

Very disappointing restaurant. Not much choice unless you like cheese in a sandwich. Only one choice of coffee which is unusual. Worst was staff who didn't speak.!!! Gardens were great however. More...

These are well worth visiting. The gardens were full of interest and colour even in early autumn. The size of the gardens is impressive giving an opportunity to cultivate both formal and informal/wild areas. Developed on a large hillside, you will feel especially grateful for the excellent home baked treats in the tearooms. The plant sales area also has expert advice on hand. Well done to all the staff involved. More...

How long have you been in business?
Ten Years, we have recently changed our company name from D G Bastin Construction.
What guarantee does your work come with?
We offer guarantees with all work. Depending on the project we do depends on the warranty given.
What do you love most about your job?
Changing peoples lives. When you provide a family home with an extension that will add so much to their home life. Nothing compares to that. We enjoy the enormous variety of jobs we get asked to do. Whether its a bespoke new build, or a simple patio we enjoy working with customers to bring their ideas to reality.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We are a family run firm, and always enjoyed doing things together. So made sense to put things together and start a company. We all started with different careers, but came together and put a construction firm together that can cover many different trades. All subcontractors and specialist firms are all close friends so we have enormous trust within our group and we all compliment eachother so well and make a very good team.
Why should our clients choose you?
One of our recent customers left us a review and within that review said "They made us feel like part of their family" It might sound to personal, but the point being that we always have a great relationship with our customers. We work closely with them to ensure their projects run smoothly with no hidden surprises. We like to communicate with our clients to keep them in the loop through every step of the way. At the same time ensuring that the works completed are of the highest standard and to the specification that the customer wants.
New Build Projects
Any new build project. We have built new houses, barns, warehouses. Please see our website for details.
Extensions
Extensions completely change your home, whether be a simple extension to your kitchen, or a large double story extension to completely transform your home we are able to help design and build the extension that suits you.
Renovations and Conversions
We are often asked to provide a full renovation of properties. Old houses into offices, bringing worn out aged buildings to life. If you have a renovation idea that you would like to run by us then please get in touch.
Landscaping
If you want to landscape your garden or any other piece of land you might have, we can help. We have experienced landscape designers and a vey talented landscape team who can bring a wealth of experience and know how.
We have a large range of machinery for the larger jobs and are yet to come across a project that we haven't been able to complete.
