    Neat block paving driveway

    Posted 04 October

    Darren's team replaced a shared driveway with block paving, doing a neat job that looks fantastic. There were some tricky features, including having to address both mine and the neighbour's requests, but the team were responsive and found solutions without fuss. They also made a few good suggestions for things we hadn't thought of. Darren's comms throughout were professional and quick.

    Great service

    Posted 03 October

    Contacted Darren back in May 2025 regarding having an old patio removed and a new one laid . We also contacted some other companies for quotes . The quote from Darren was very detailed and very thorough . Although not the cheapest quote we felt confident that the end product would be good . The work started in October his team were very professional, friendly and experienced. We were kept fully informed about what was happening and any changes or design ideas . We paid no monies until the work was completed and we were happy . We have no hesitation in highly recommending g this company .

    Disappointing from start to finish

    Posted 23 September

    Job: Block pave a new parking space. Darren was tasked to match the dark grey colour of my drive as closely as possible and ensure that the new space drains towards the back. He matched the dark grey with a selection of 3 different greys that did not even come close to my dark grey. In my opinion it would have helped if they had implemented a straight border between ‘old’ and ‘new’, but they didn’t . In addition, the parking space did not drain to the back as promised. I had to have it corrected with a border by someone else, luckily for free as he is now building a new patio for me.

    Driveway transformation

    Posted 02 September

    The remit was to transform the front garden into a parking area and to refurbish the shared driveway. The guys doing the work were always very helpful in answering questions and providing helpful advice and alternative ideas as to the best options for the area available to us. The work was carried out to a very high standard and I would be happy to recommend them.

    Beautiful patio and pergola

    Posted 03 August

    Prompt response to my initial contact, timely site visit for quotation, competitive quote and work schedule early. Mr Plumridge and his team were friendly, punctual, tidy and have given us a beautiful patio and pergola in under a week. Very happy with the service and would highly recommend.

    Highly recommend

    Posted 02 August

    Paul, Mike and Louis did a great job replacing/extending our drive with cobble-effect pavers, during some incredibly hot weather! The job took a little longer than planned, and there was a small misunderstanding around what had been included in the quote (which was quickly resolved), but the end product was worth the wait and additional cost was avoided. Paul was great at keeping us updated on things, and at suggesting ideas, and all 3 guys were very polite. There were some minor snags which were addressed quickly. All in all a great job and we would have no hesitation in recommending Darren.

We are proud of our hard earned reputation, and will not jeopardise our good name by making misleading, or aspirational claims that we cannot meet. For this reason we outline in this section the type of work we are prepared to undertake. If your own project type is not shown, please either give us a call or contact us through the form provided on to the right of this page so that we may discuss your specific requirements in more detail.


The best Gardens and Driveways invariably strike a happy balance between paving, walling and planting. Time spent carefully considering paving will not only provide an attractive area to sit out and enjoy but help to show off the rest of your garden and drive to the best advantage. Gone are the days when you were limited to grey, square concrete flagstones. We are more than happy to offer our 25 years of knowledge and experience when it comes to blending or contrasting paving with house and garden styles, simply ask us at the time of your FREE quotation.


To create traditional designs, there is a wide range of brick and natural stone paving which can be laid to instantly achieve a look of yesteryear. Alternatively, more modern decorative paving stones in various colours, shapes and textures provide the opportunity to create a more contemporary look.


When you design your patio or driveway, either at home or with our help, there is no need to stick to one product type. You can create truly inspirational and individual designs by mixing different paving products together. You can also enhance your chosen paving with bands of small, vibrantly coloured clay cobbles or natural stone sets. Introducing contrasting yet complementary paving shapes, colour, sizes and textures will add that extra little something special!
