Highlights
"We couldn’t be happier with the service we received. Alan, George and the team were incredibly efficient, friendly, and professional from start to finish. They did an excellent job replacing our driveway, completing the work just a few days before Christmas, which we really appreciated. Their workmanship is outstanding and the whole process was smooth and stress-free."
"I would highly recommend CPL Landscaping. Alan and the team were extremely friendly, hardworking, punctual and very tidy. The team demolished a shed and an outbuilding and took away all the rubbish. They dug up our old driveway and laid a new block paved drive. They also laid a large porcelain tile patio in the back garden. All work was completed to a very high standard and all the areas were kept extremely clean and tidy. Pricing was very reasonable and workmanship was excellent. We were extremely pleased with our new drive and patio. They both look amazing."
"We had our driveway and side access paved, a new fence and brick wall, and we are extremely happy with the work. Alan was excellent at responding to communications and quickly resolved a minor issue on site. The team worked really hard , especially with the awful rain we have had recently. At the end of the job the 2 minor snags were also resolved quickly. We highly recommend Alan and his team."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
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.
