    Sloping Driveway Makeover

    Posted 27 May

    Darren & Charlie’s workmanship I’d give 10/10. They turned up when they said they would (bit of a rarity these days), took pride in their work and, most of all went, the extra mile to ensure I got the drive I wanted. Only good things I’m very happy to be able to say.

    Outstanding

    Posted 11 May

    The work carried out by Darren & his team was absolutely brilliant. His team worked hard, were courteous & engaging. They explained everything they were doing in detail, explained issues when they arose, which were few & only 1 issue was material costs only (drainage pipe). Could not ask for a better team to work in my property & definitely would ask them back & recommend to anyone.

    Darren and the team were on the ball from early stage. Communication was amazing. We got a quote and available dates in a couple of days. We were updated on progress during every stage. We are very pleased with the quality of the work. Even when we uncovered unforeseen issue hours before start of the job, Darren has provided advice and solutions, so the job cold go ahead as planned. Great team & great work, could not recommend high enough.

    Good team of guys, trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable.

    Posted 03 December 2025

    We've had another great experience from Darren & the team at Farnham Groundworks & Landscaping. They've replaced our fence and removed the old one. The team are super reliable and do a great job, they are very professional. We've used these guys for various jobs over the last few years and they've consistently done a good job. I have no hesitation about recommending them.
