Highlights
"We recently had work done on our driveway which was previously a ‘sea of gravel’! I can’t praise Fraser and his workforce highly enough! From beginning to end it was non stop! The workmen were real grafters and worked hard. They even started laying out blocks before the last load of blocks were lifted off the truck! Amazing ! They were friendly and courteous and from the moment the work began Fraser communicated with us throughout to ensure we were happy with what was being done! The front driveway with lawn is a fabulous transformation from the way it looked before. We were well pleased!"
"Extremely pleased with the results. Very professional and highly skilled team. Would highly recommend."
"Excellent service from this company. First of all, time was spent listening, getting samples and choosing the right pavers, quotation given, and start date confirmed. All done very helpfully and professionally. No hard sell and taking into account our budget. The work started on time and the team worked hard and completed the patio in under 2 days. At all times it was easy to talk about decisions that had to be made. The completed patio is excellent, high quality and what we wanted. I definitely recommend Countryside Paving. Friendly, helpful, professional and high quality work."

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.
