Highlights
"I used Clive and his team to replace the weed infested botched gravel and concrete parking area at the front of the house inherited from the previous owners. They were very considerate towards the neighbours and always cleared up neatly. I now have a very smart new block paved parking area and the workmanship has been much admired - I would definitely recommend Nu Drives."
"I was looking to get my driveway extended this summer and after many failed attempts with other contractors due to the small amount of work that was required Nu Drives was one of the few companies that were interested. Communication was good throughout the process and the work has been completed which blends in well with the existing drive. Very happy with the standard of work"
"Clive and team were excellent. prompt, informative and great work carried out throughout, at a very competitive rate. He was considerate of neighbours which is a big plus. the whole project happened like clockwork and it was fantastic to see how quickly everything came together. really pleased with the final product."

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.
