Highlights
"Tommy and the boys done a lovely job for us on our driveway. Communicated well from the initial quote through to completion. The team arrived promptly in the mornings and done their best keeping my property tidy, as well as the neighbours. The driveway was completed on time, to budget, and looks fantastic. Great people to deal with from start to finish and I would recommend their services to anyone."
"Tommy and his team approached us regarding our beat up driveway. The stones were loose and it was a real nightmare for my daughter who was learning to walk at the time. We replaced the whole driveway with resin and what a difference it made. My daughter can now use her scooter and bike up and down the driveway and I have no worries about letting her play on it. The guys always arrived on time if not earlier and left the place as tidy as they could. We had no complaints from our nosy neighbours and I cant fault them for anything. Job was completed on time and within budget, so many others would have taken their time but these guys are so efficient. Would highly recommend to anyone."
"Great job from Tom and his team, exactly what we asked for"

Great job from Tom and his team, exactly what we asked for
I have already recommended Tommy and his team to friends. Very accommodating and pleasant and generally quite helpful.
Tom and his team were brilliant! Arrived on time, very clean and tidy. My driveway was all loose small stones which used to drive me mad. Now it is all resin and looks very smart and I don’t get stones stuck in my tyres anymore! Cheers guys!
Very good bunch of guys, polite and friendly.
Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Professional, hard working and fairly priced. They have transformed the front of my house and more than exceeded my expectations. I could not recommend this company enough.
Me and my wife are very happy with our new patio we would highly recommend Thomas and his team to any of our friends and family members
Would highly recommend great guy great job

I was truly please with my service. Young lad Tom was extremely helpful towards me in getting what I wanted. Took short amount of time. Would recommend!
I found them to be very polite, very good at what they do and would recommend them to anybody
Came highly recommend and do not disagree, Fantistic work ethic.
A great professional job done by Thomas and his guys. One of the key reasons why we went with Thomas apart from a fair price was he had complete confidence in what needed to be done with a vision of how the end product would look. Site was left clean and tidy and all of the neighbor's in our close were happy with the minimal disruption caused by the guy. Well done.
Extremely professional ,very friendly and professional company. Very happy with the end result has made such a difference to the overall look of the front of the house. Listened to what I wanted and talked me through my options. All finish everything cleared away, very professional finish and job. Highly recommend.

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.
