Why BIG G is Simcoe County's
Trusted Hardscaping Specialist

Elevate your landscape with the enduring strength of Armor Stone. We specialize in sourcing and precision-setting massive natural boulders to create dramatic shorelines, rugged garden beds, and majestic retaining walls. Our expert construction ensures structural stability that defies the elements while adding a timeless, high-end aesthetic to your Simcoe County property.

Structural Retaining Walls
​Reclaim your sloped yard with our engineered retaining wall solutions. We specialize in Armor Stone and modular block systems that provide essential soil stabilization while adding a sophisticated, tiered look to your landscape. Our walls are built to endure, combining massive structural integrity with the timeless aesthetic of natural rock.

In Simcoe County, the freeze-thaw cycle is a relentless force. Using the correct base materials and depth is vital to prevent shifting and "heaving." A deep, compacted gravel foundation ensures proper drainage, allowing moisture to escape before it freezes and expands, protecting your investment from cracking and uneven surfaces.

Transform your outdoor living space with Simcoe County’s premier hardscape specialists. We blend rugged natural beauty with structural excellence, creating custom stone features that withstand the Ontario elements. From the shores of Wasaga to the hills of Oro-Medonte, we build the foundation for memories that last a lifetime.

Precision Pavers and Patios
​Enhance your home’s curb appeal with a stunning interlocking stone driveway or a sprawling flagstone patio. Our team meticulously levels every square inch, ensuring perfect drainage and a seamless finish. We use high-grade materials designed to resist salt and heavy frost, keeping your outdoor surfaces level and beautiful year-round.

From the lush forests of Springwater to the vibrant gardens of Barrie, we provide comprehensive landscaping solutions tailored to Simcoe County’s unique terrain. Our team blends artistic planting with functional design, ensuring your greenery thrives in our local climate. Let us cultivate a breathtaking, sustainable sanctuary right in your backyard.
