 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really pleased with the final result on how the drive looks. It tooks us a while to choose the block paving we wanted, Patrick was really patient with us. The drive adds to the look of the house, and we have even had people taking photos, with lots of complimentary comments from neighbours. When the guys were on site their work ethic was very good.

All done really quickly in time for spring ! We’ll be having them back at some point to the next stage of our garden renovation.

They were very accommodating with a couple of design changes we made during the process and it was all completed within 4 days! We are just so happy that we have finally got a modern, beautiful drive. I have already and will recommend, thanks again Pat and the lads 😉

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely grateful to Pat & his very professional team that laid our driveway this week. All the lads were as helpful as you could wish for, always willing to explain what the process was going to be and willing to make changes if requested. Pat explained everything in such detail helping us to understand which product would be the right choice for us. Very happy with the service and would highly recommend to others. Thanks Pat

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We wanted to have our split front garden taken out and turned into a driveway to add to what we already had. Having a house on a corner, there was quite a bit of space that needed to be done and renewed, so we knew it was going to be costly. Pat is very friendly, honest and easy going and gave us all the options open to us, which helped us decide from what we had already pictured in our heads. His quote was competitive and we already had personal recommendations and had seen the companies work as they had just done a drive 5 min from us. Once work started, his team were polite and friendly, accepting as many brews off us as we could make (sorry we went away for a few days lads lol). They tidied up every day and asked if they were ok leaving stuff in our back garden. Despite having to deal with a good amount of wet weather, they cracked on and caught up their delays due to the worst of it. We came back home on their last day to see the finishing touches being laid, and are very impressed and happy with the finished result. We would not only recommend them to anyone, but would also use them again without question.
