Highlights
"Mick and the team turned up exactly on time and always polite and friendly. Did a great job with the drive, fair price and good communication. Couldn’t have asked for more to be honest."
"Really pleased with Mick and the team at Design Driveways. He responded quickly to my enquiry, provided a fair quote without delay, and was able to schedule the work sooner than expected. The team installed a drainage channel along the full length of my home and completed everything to a high standard. Professional, efficient, and great quality workmanship. 10/10 — would definitely recommend."
"This is the third time I have used Mick and his team and again am very satisfied. This time (despite the freezing weather!) they repointed rear patio and path for me. Very prompt, polite and tidy workers. Good communication before and during work and very accommodating with suitable dates. Highly recommend."

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.
