    Professional & reliable

    Posted 22 April

    We recently had Danny lay a new patio for us and it was great having him doing the work for us. He has quoted for us before on other jobs ( unfortunately our timings didn’t match on those occasions ) and each time has produced a clear and comprehensive quote. This job presented him with some challenges but nothing was a problem and he & Jamie turned up each day when they said they would with a smile! Danny is always open to discussing any small tweaks and generally quite flexible, within reason of course. We would highly recommend DB Groundworks.

    Block paving repair

    Posted 02 April

    Dan and his sidekick Jamie came to lift our block paving driveway which was gapping due to poor installation in the first instance, fit new coping and relay the block paving. Fortunately the weather was kind for them and they did a great job over 3 days. Very tidy and two really personable young men. Would strongly recommend DB groundworks for any groundworks jobs. Well done boys.

    Lift block paving for broadband install and re-fit once complete.

    Posted 24 March

    Danny and his team are fantastic. Turn up when they say they will, more than happy to work around your schedule as well. We were having new fibre broadband installed and had specific install dates to work around, Danny was able to turn up the day before, lift the paving whilst tidying up the open hole and making it safe for our children. He then returned the morning after broadband install and put the paving back to exactly the same standard as previous, you could barely tell he had been there which is the sign of a great trade. Clean work, great communication and would definitely recommend 5*

    Creation of a new block paved hardstanding.

    Posted 22 October 2025

    I wanted the whole of my front garden laid to block paving. This would allow me to park my car without problems finding space in the road. I asked DB Groundwork’s for a quote. Danny, the owner, arrived on time and, after measuring the area concerned, explained in detail what he would have to do. He explained the depth that he would have to excavate to and how he would fill in to seat the blocks. He also explained about drainage for the new block paved area. This would need a soak away. I decided to go ahead and I am EXTREMELY pleased with the result. I thoroughly recommend DB Groundwork’s.

    Excavate then relay rear patio

    Posted 30 July 2025

    Dan and the team were asked to remove an existing patio, excavate garden and lay a new one. All work had to come through house as that was only access to rear garden. Absolutely wonderful job and could not be more pleased. Really high standard of work, really tidy, and really great guys. I highly recommend Dan for all landscaping jobs.

Here at DB Groundworks we take enormous pride in meeting the customers needs.

With over 15 years experience in block paving, patios and pathways. We set our standards to the highest quality with use of the best materials possible in driveways patios and gardens. Using Marshalls, Brett, Fairstone and Bradstone, there is no fixed product the customer HAS to use.

We specialise in indian sandstone for patios, using a water sealant on request to keep the patio at its best for many years after installation.

All Driveways come with the option of sealing for a maintenance free, grime free finish.

All Driveways and Patios will need cuts to borders, and we only use diamond blades for a perfect finish.

Recessed manholes with cuts are always finished with the continuation pattern throughout.

All borders are haunched or kerb finish all depending on what the customer prefers.

We also offer restoration of drives, pressure wash re-sand and sealing, concrete bases and shed building, sleeper walls, patio re-point and seal, turfing, fencing, foundations, all work up to dpc on extensions.

With all the above we always have the "customer in mind."
