Highlights
"Jesse did an outstanding job Tarmacking our large communal driveway. From the outset, he was very clear what work would be undertaken, and kept us informed along the way. He’s very much of a perfectionist, and has an incredible eye for detail. The job was completed within the time frame laid out with minimal disruption, and invoiced as quoted. Thank you Jesse for an outstanding job, and making the driveway to and from our houses a pleasure to use."
"Having used FJB Groundworks previously over 25 years I was confident the work I required would be carried out to their usual high standards. And Jesse and his team didn’t disappoint. From start to finish they created the minimum disruption and kept the whole area clean and tidy throughout the duration of the work. They were flexible in everything they did and undertook some additional work without charge. Jesse is very knowledgeable and he made several suggestions which were a big improvement to my initial plans. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending FJB Groundworks."
"Jesse and his team have just completed a full tarmac driveway for me. I had previously some years ago had my driveway done by both Jesse and his late father Fred who at the time had done a superb job. So knowing how good Jesse's work is I had no issue in asking him again to complete the work. Jesse communicated everything very clearly, arrived on time every day, was polite and very hard working. I can't recommend FJB enough brilliant family business who do a great honest job. Incredible work thank you again Jesse."

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.
