    Patio and driveway installation

    Posted 23 March

    Zac and he’s team installed a new driveway and patio to a really high standard we went back and forth with ideas. He was very helpful in getting me what I wanted. The team carried out the work with respect for the rest of the street leaving it clean and tidy each day

    Gravel driveway extension

    Posted 27 February

    Zac excavated my front garden to extend my gravel driveway. The place was left cleaner than ever, job done nicely and it looks better than expected. I’m happy with the job. Thanks

    Proper job and would fully recommend them

    Posted 27 February

    I don’t usually leave reviews. But I was so impressed with the work that was carried out that I just had to. I had my drive way cleaned and repaired. The guys were great and would definitely recommend them 👌

    Very poor roofing workmanship

    Posted 07 February

    Avoid. Unfortunately a very stressful experience. While some landscaping elements were acceptable. DO NOT let them build you a roof. The porch roof was built incorrectly. Multiple independent roofing inspections confirmed serious defects requiring a complete rebuild. I had to appoint another contractor at my own cost to make it safe and compliant. Issues were not handled professionally. Faced resistance and pressure rather than accountability.

    Unable to resolve snagging issues after work completed

    Posted 06 November 2025

    Initially happy with works carried out June 2025. After heavy downpour guttering overflowing, (whole unit needs lifting.) From end July have made numerous contacts with the foreman by telephone calls and WhatsApp with resulting in promises to visit to resolve the issue but I'm still waiting 3 months later, despite supposed 5 year guarantee of work.
