Comprehensive Landscaping & Site Development

Every great landscape starts with solid groundwork. G-Force Contracting provides a full suite of landscaping and site services designed to prepare, shape, and stabilise your property.

Our services include:

  • Site clearing and preparation – removal of vegetation, rocks, and debris to create a blank canvas for your landscape design.

  • Topsoil stripping and levelling – ensuring the ground is even, well-drained, and ready for planting or hard surfaces.

  • Retaining walls and garden edging – excavation, foundation work, and backfilling for timber, concrete, or block retaining systems.

  • Section reshaping and contouring – cutting and filling land to create level areas for lawns, patios, or building sites.

  • Driveway and accessway preparation – base shaping and compaction for gravel, concrete, or asphalt surfaces.

  • Drainage and stormwater management – ensuring proper runoff control to prevent erosion and protect landscaped areas.

  • Hard landscaping support – excavation and base prep for paths, patios, decks, and outdoor structures.

From the initial excavation through to final grading and finishing, we take care of every step so your landscape build runs smoothly and efficiently.

Retaining Walls & Erosion Control

With Hawke’s Bay’s varied terrain, retaining walls are an essential feature for many properties. They provide structure, control erosion, and create usable outdoor areas on sloped sites.

At G-Force Contracting, we have the experience and equipment to excavate, construct, and backfill retaining walls that are both functional and visually appealing. We work with a range of materials — including timber, concrete block, and keystone systems — depending on your site conditions and design preference.

Because we also handle excavation, drainage, and aggregate supply, you can rely on us to manage the entire retaining wall process from start to finish. Our focus is on creating strong, long-lasting structures that not only look great but also provide lasting stability for your section.

Section Reshaping & Contouring

If your property is uneven, sloped, or difficult to use, reshaping and contouring the land can dramatically improve its function and appearance. Using our modern machinery and experienced operators, we can cut, fill, and level your section to suit your landscaping or building plans.

Whether you’re creating a flat lawn area, adjusting drainage, or preparing terraces for planting, we take the time to understand your goals and deliver accurate, safe, and cost-effective earthworks. Proper contouring not only enhances usability but also prevents future water pooling or erosion issues.

Driveways, Paths & Hard Surfaces

A well-constructed driveway or path is a key element of any landscaping project. Our team provides base preparation and shaping for new driveways, paths, and hardstand areas, ensuring a solid, well-compacted foundation ready for your chosen surface material.

We can coordinate with concrete, asphalt, or paving contractors to ensure your project flows seamlessly from groundwork to finished surface. For rural or lifestyle properties, we also build gravel accessways and tracks, offering practical, durable solutions for everyday use.

Drainage Solutions & Ground Stability

Effective drainage is vital for keeping landscaped areas healthy and preventing long-term damage. Our team designs and installs subsurface and surface drainage systems, such as French drains, soak pits, and channel drains, to manage runoff and protect lawns, gardens, and retaining walls.

We also use high-quality aggregates and compacted fill to ensure your outdoor spaces remain stable and dry all year round. Combined with our excavation and cartage services, this allows us to manage water flow and ground performance from the ground up.

Collaborating With Builders & Homeowners

G-Force Contracting works closely with homeowners, landscapers, and builders to bring designs to life. We understand that every site and project is different, so we tailor our approach to suit your specific needs, timeline, and budget.

If you already have a landscape design, we’ll follow your plans with precision. If you’re starting fresh, we can assist with practical advice on how to shape, level, and stabilise your property before planting or building begins. Our flexible, client-focused approach ensures you get exactly what you need — with no unnecessary complications or delays.
