Highlights

"These guys were brilliant and turned out in all weather to get the job finished. We had facias and guttering all replaced , great job."

BevTrustATrader5.0 rating

"Tom and his team did a smashing job of our new tarmac driveway ! You hear such awful stories about driveway contractors doing hit and run jobs, but not these guys. Professional from start to finish. Nice, polite group of lads and the boss was there pretty much all the time. Although they hit some problems with tree roots from an old stump we didn't even know was there they stuck to the agreed price. Very clean workers, left the driveway tidy and all rubbish cleared away every day. Judging by the comments we've already had. our neighbours have called them Can’t recommend them enough Thanks again Mr & mrs Armstrong"

"Excellent job done to replace front lawn with block paving. Worked hard throughout and nothing was too much trouble (even when we slightly altered something near the end). Would definately recommend as they were to us from friends. Many thanks to tom and his team."

Dealing with this company was a pleasure . A family business putting customer first . they turn up when they are supposed to and don’t give you the run around I give them 10/10

I could not recommend highly enough. Punctual, arrived spot on time as agreed and did drive verges and guttering for me, and went the extra mile. They were quick, thorough, enjoy what they do and it was such a good experience to have a team that are enthusiastic and want to get on with the job, instead of sitting around drinking tea!

Got a leaflet through the door. We asked for a price and came and measured up the same day. From the quote to completion it took a few days. All the team were top friendly lads who were very professional. Definitely recommend.

Tom and the team at RT driveways were on site to level my garden , build retaining wall and stairs , lay 76m2 porcelain tile patio, including cladding wall and stairs and installing smart electric lighting into new wall. Tom and his guys were punctual , polite well mannered and exceptional in every aspect of their work for me. (Almost part of the family now) Simply can’t praise these guys enough will be having them back next year to do my front drive , if they can squeeze me in,, Thanks Tom & the team you have delivered me my dream garden..

What a great service, came and quoted exactly when promised. Booked in and turned up when planned in, excellent team, polite, conscientious and paid attention to detail. Fabulous job - even the neighbours commented on how hard the team worked! Love the finished look - photo dies not do it justice! No hesitation in recommending these guys.

Anthony5.0 / 5

Tom and the team excavated our front, laid a tarmac base and created a resin path which is crisp, smart and matches the house perfectly. They also paved in the garden back and resin patched the side. We were delighted with the work as well as the friendly, knowledgeable support from the first contact to the finished job. I can't recommend RT driveways highly enough. The market is crowded now, but this local, experienced trustworthy company is excellent. Reasonably priced too. Not a cheap slap down job that will not last very long. The excavation was thorough and brilliantly done. The resin finish is superb. Friendly aftercare too, I've called with a question, no quibble support and advice given.

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.
