Highlights
"So pleased with our beautiful resin drive. Fantastic job done by Mike and the Solid Ground team. All work completed on time and to a very high standard. We had them back a few months later to complete our Indian Stone paving project which completely transformed our back garden, can’t fault the excellent work done by all the team."
"Mike from Solid Ground did a resin driveway for us a few years ago in Warrington. He was a good communicator in relation to quoting and booking the job and the team worked hard over a few days. There was an issue I was not happy with and it was resolved promptly and without fuss. I have since recommended them to others."
"I used Solid Ground - Brickwork, Driveways & Landscaping to fit a new lintel above my front door — because I prefer my house staying upright! Mike was brilliant from start to finish, with excellent communication (he even turned up when he said he would!). The workmanship was spot on, the price was competitive, and everything was left tidy. No drama, no hidden surprises — just a solid job. Would definitely use again and happily recommend!"

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
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.
