Highlights
"We had our grass removed and the area paved. Our soil was clay and wighed a ton. I phoned 4 contractors and IPAVE was the only one who turned up. They did a fantastic job. All of the workmen were so polite and respectful. Joseph the boss was awesome. Gave us loads of tips and advice. I would use them again in a heart beat"
"Joseph and his team came and did a great job replacing my old concrete drive with a new brick paved drive. The old drive used to drain into the neighbour's properly and flood them, so Joseph dug out drainage underneath my drive to accommodate the water. The job was done quickly, professionally and tidily. I would highly recommended - this is the second time Joseph has laid a drive for me, with the one at my old house staying in great condition for many years until the property was sold."
"Joseph responded quickly to our enquiry and was very prompt with his quote. He helped us maximise our budget and made welcome suggestions as to how to achieve the very modern look we were hoping to get for our porceline patio / steps project. He was flexible when it came to design alterations and acomodated many last minute changes with good humour. Any changes in price were agreed before the extra work was undertaken. We are delighted with the work and the finishing. The patio and steps look amazing and we are trying to get him back for another project. He is a delight to do business with."

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.
