Highlights
"We had our driveway block paved by GDR. From initial enquiry to job completion Gareth and his team were excellent. Clear communication and kept me involved in any decisions that needed to be made and explained clearly the options we had. My neighbours have commented on how hard Gareth and his team worked and what a great high standard job they did. We are delighted, highly recommend."
"Gareth and his team were brilliant. They worked solidly for a week, transforming our ancient, neglected tarmac driveway. Any issues (eg a drain problem) were discussed and resolved. We’re thrilled with the results and can’t recommend GDR driveways highly enough."
"Gareth and his amazing team at GDR Driveways truly saved the day after a cowboy landscaper left me in a mess. They worked incredibly hard—even through horrendous weather without complaint—and created the garden of my dreams within the agreed timeframe. Their professionalism, politeness, and respect for my property shone through, and they left everything spotless at the end of each day. The quality of their craftsmanship is outstanding, yet their prices are unbeatable. I’m over the moon with the results and have already booked them for another project. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

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.
