    Repair of Damaged and Sunken Driveway

    Posted 06 May

    Agreed price for lifting, relaying and replacement of damaged flags. Came when they said they would and got on with the job. Even trimed the garden gate down so it would fit the new raised flags. Cleared up all the mess. The driveway looks fantastic, they done a great job. We are very pleased with the work.

    Garden Landscaping

    Posted 06 May

    Originally asked for a patio at the bottom of the garden, but ended up getting the whole garden done: two patios, concrete bases, steps, and sleepers. Very happy at first. Even bought Gareth a gift. Sadly, problems came later: no weed membrane means weeds are now growing, and the artificial grass was very poorly installed, cut too short, laid in the wrong direction, visible ridges from the base and visible, stained and badly cut joins. A leaking chainsaw left an oil stain on a slab. They promised to replace it but this hasnt happened. A disappointing end to what started as a great experience.

    Response from GDR Driveways

    We hold no responsibility on work done by separate contractors the astro turf was installed by a separate firm any work which GDR have completed for you is under warranty and we would be glad to replace the stained flag all the jobs you find good is GDR

    Flagging to front of house including an area of slate for pots etc

    Posted 29 April

    Drive was a terrible mess and Gareth flagged a path and a large area. He also creates an area with slate for pots etc. Gareth turned up when he said he would worked really hard and completed an excellent job in 2days at a very reasonable rate. The area was left clean and tidy at the end of the job and all rubbish removed. I would thoroughly recommend him and will certainly use him in the future.

    Garden Flagging

    Posted 24 December 2024

    The Team at GDR Driveways have done a fantastic job at our house. They have been polite, effective and efficient, whilst carrying out the work for ourselves. The finished item is fabulous, with over 100 old flags, block paving and other eye sores removed, they have laid nearly 200 new flags in the bad weather of December. Great Work, fantastic project
