    Sunken driveway

    Posted 08 October

    On the 16 may 2025 Apprachways had finished installing a driveway. 4 months later a large crack had appeared in one corner which has now become loose. this section has also sunk down by an Inch along with the soak away. I moved away the loose shingle that was put in along its side only to find that the concrete is only 65mm thick instead of the 100mm thick as stated in the contract. i am very disappointed especially as it cost over £11.000 to stall.

    Response from Approachways Limited

    This review is extremely inaccurate. A HGV or similar has driven over the corner of this driveway and damaged it. I provided Checkatrade with the concrete batching ticket and photographs of this driveway that show that this job is installed correctly.

    A new printed concrete driveway with improved drainage to replace existing tarmac drive

    Posted 14 April

    Andy was extremely knowledgeable and helpful during the planning stage. His team were friendly and professional and completed the work to a high standard. The new driveway has transformed the front of our house and we are extremely pleased with the finished product. We would highly recommend Approachways if you are looking for a printed concrete driveway.

    Patterned concrete.

    Posted 21 March

    I can not speak highly enough about Approachways. The attention to detail was second to none. It looks absolutely perfect and so authentic and as for the crew they carried out the job with such professionalism and care also went above and beyond being helpful.

    Front drive and rear patio

    Posted 31 October 2024

    Right from the start I was impressed with Andy. I was pleased with the estimate for the resurfacing of my small front garden, driveway and rear patio and the advice he offered. The team were excellent and worked hard to combat the perverse weather we had during the summer. The work can be very dusty at times but they cleaned after them. I am very impressed with the end result and would have no hesitation in recommending the company.

    Complete Front of house upgrade

    Posted 19 August 2024

    Andy was very honest about timescales and the dependance on the weather. He called to say that a job was delayed and could his team start tomorrow. From the start the team led by Justin was outstanding. They had to cope with digging out a reinforced concrete driveway but once that was sorted they cracked on to complete the job. The guys were extremely polite and tidy and kept us informed at all stages of the job. Justin gave us lots of ideas about final designs and patterns. The finished result is excellent and we are extremely pleased. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andy and Approachways.

    Pattern imprinted driveway and side path

    Posted 05 August 2024

    Would totally recommend Approachways; Andy and his team. We had to wait a while due to the poor weather, but was well worth the wait when it was done in May 2024. Justin, Joe and Jake were a great team and worked really hard. Neighbours and passers by have commented on how good the driveway looks, and also on the work ethic of Justin, Joe and Jake; who they said never seemed to stop working, not even for a break. We wouldn't hesitate to use again. THANK YOU!
