There is something truly special about the “Gateway to the Moor.” Here in Bovey Tracey, we are blessed with a landscape that inspires—from the rugged granite of Dartmoor to the lush gardens that line our historic streets.
Hi, I’m Steve, the owner of South Devon Construction. I’m Devon born and bred, and I’ve spent over 25 years in the building trade. I started as a labourer and worked my way up to earning a Level 7 Diploma in Construction Management. Throughout that journey, my business has always been guided by traditional Devon values: honesty, integrity, and a good bit of hard graft.
As the weather turns or the seasons shift, many homeowners in Bovey Tracey find themselves looking at their gardens and thinking about transformation. Whether you’re dreaming of a sun-soaked patio for summer BBQs or a sturdy Devon stone wall to frame your property, creating the perfect outdoor space is about more than just aesthetics—it’s about quality that lasts.
Why Quality Hard Landscaping Matters
In South Devon, our gardens often have to deal with sloping terrain and the unique “microclimate” of the moors. That’s why professional hard landscaping and masonry are so vital.
When we take on a project in Bovey Tracey, we don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Every build is unique. My background in Quantity Surveying and Cost Estimation means I can help you plan a project that balances beautiful design with a realistic budget, ensuring there are no hidden surprises.
Patios: Your New Outdoor Room
A well-designed patio is an extension of your home. At South Devon Construction, we specialize in laying high-quality patios that stand the test of time. From contemporary porcelain tiles to traditional natural stone that complements the local Bovey architecture, we ensure the groundworks are flawless.
A patio is only as good as the drainage and foundation beneath it. With 25 years in the trade, I’ve seen a lot of builds, and I know that “cutting corners” isn’t in the Devon vocabulary. We do it right the first time.
The Art of Walling and Masonry
There is an art to building walls in Devon. Whether it’s a retaining wall to create more level lawn space or decorative masonry work to add character to your driveway, our team of local professional tradesmen brings a level of craftsmanship that is hard to find. We take pride in our masonry work, ensuring that every stone is placed with care and every joint is secure.
A Tailor-Made Approach for Bovey Tracey Residents
For smaller projects like a new patio or garden wall, I personally oversee the work with my small, hand-picked team of local experts. For larger-scale garden transformations or outbuildings that require architects and Building Control, we can act as your Principle Contractors, managing the entire process from start to finish to ensure a seamless, stress-free experience.
