10 Driveway extension and new patio
Posted 15 November 2024
The work carried out was of the highest quality and we could not be happier. Steve and the team were polite, informative, skilful and extremely hardworking. We had a sizeable driveway extension delivered to our designs, this included relaying the existing driveway which was approx 600sqm. We also had garden pathways updated to match, along with our patio extended and relayed and fences repaired / reinforced to upgrade old posts. We could not recommend them more highly!Verified reviewerJob location: RG4010 These guys transformed my garden is 3 months

I got these guys in to quote to lay two very large patios and they did such a fantastic and worked so hard that I gave them the rest of the garden & driveway to do and they charged me a daily rate. They worked so hard that a daily rate just made sense all round. We were able to make decisions as we went along and they kept giving me ideas based on projects they had done in the past. The patio has been down about 3 months now and every slab is laid perfectly, there is no puddling at all. They did all the driveway too which was quite a big job. I would recommend these guys to anyone.Verified reviewerJob location: RG4010 Laying 5g grass

We can thoroughly recommend Reading Groundworks. Steve and his team took time to understand our requirements and have implemented them really well. They were friendly and polite all the time they were on site and the end result has given us a lovely garden with a WOW factor. We are very pleased.Verified reviewerJob location: RG810 New Patio and retaining walls
Posted 13 October 2023
The job was to replace an old patio with a larger one. The site was on a steep bank and it was necessary to remove about 10 tons of soil. The work area was very confined with narrow access. Three retaining walls were required to support the ground. Reading Groundworks advice on design and materials was invaluable. The work was completed on time, at the price quoted and to a very high standard. Nothing was too much trouble. This is the third job Reading Groundworks have done for us in the last 2 years and all have been excellent.Verified reviewerJob location: RG810 Brilliant

He came round same day to have a look then came on the weekend and removed the roots cleaned up and left site cleaner then it was also when he was here he jet washed all the patio and done some extras looking after his work that he done 3 years ago this was not asked by myself so to come home and see it was brilliant thanks Steve and team don’t look anywhere else READING GROUNDWORKS ARE THE BESTVerified reviewerJob location: RG31

Reading Groundwork’s are a small team! we aim to provide an installation service to the general public! All quotations are thorough and guarantee a fixed price with no hidden charges! We are easy to work with and adapt to our client’s needs.
We have a micro excavator Bobcat E10 to access tight gateways, it measures 730mm wide and I'm confident I could get this machine into most back gardens. This machine saves us so much time!
We also have a micro tracked skip loading dumper to cart the materials around the garden to save time and effort!
If you have a hand dig only project, I'm also happy to take these jobs on! Terrace house? No space for a skip? I have a tipper truck that I use to remove waste from your property.
