Highlights
"We had a resin drive fitted by the guys at Blacktop and they did an excellent job. Very professional and we are so pleased with the work done. Great team of guys also. Would recommend them to my family and friends."
"After noticing a neighbour's resin driveway installed to a very high standard, I called Blacktop to give me a quote for a repair to my resin driveway. The owner arrived promptly within 2 days and a few days later on agreeing a price, he and his team prepared the area requiring attention and also cleaned the whole drive. The following day the repair was completed and the third and final day the whole driveway was resealed - all work done in a timely manner and to an exceptional standard! I would not hesitate in recommending this company in the future. A big thank you to the owner and his team."
"Turned up on time! Excellent customer care and nothing was a problem! Highly recommended"

Smart checks
Before you hire a landscaper
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour — a vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials' — agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated — protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
