Chris and his team of Dave and Jason terraced our small side garden and relaid the paving outside the conservatory. They were a really pleasant crew to have around, punctual and polite. Their work was of the highest standard. At each step Chris made sure he checked that we were happy with the work completed and the materials to be used in the next stage. All members of the team did extra work without additional payment to ensure that paving outside their work area was safe for two elderly ladies. We can fully recommend Chris and his team.Verified reviewerJob location: TQ1310 Excellent, good value and quality work by friendly and considerate contractors.

Job location: TQ13Chris did some work on my property and my neighbour's recently (my job was clearing some ground on my veg patch, creating a gravel path and slab paving so it tidily abutted entrance to my greenhouse). The did an excellent job and turned a muddy nightmare into a well sorted/tidy /functional space I can now happily work with. I'm very pleased with: overall price, the quality of work; the friendliness and consideration for us as customers provided by Chris and his team; and they cleaned up well every day. The final bonus one of Chris' team singing Celine Dion tunes in a fine falsetto.- HHannah R

Job location: TQ4We are absolutely thrilled with the work that Chris and team have done in our garden! Our tiered garden previously consisted of grass and a lot of gravel, and now we have a raised planter and lovely patio which we can’t wait to start using. We were very impressed with the service and quality of work, and the communication was great too. Would highly recommend Chris Darke Paving & Landscaping! - RRuth B
10 Highly recommended for driveway transformation

Chris and his whole team were very hardworking, friendly and professional. The quality of the work was impressive and at the end of every day, the area was left clean and tidy. Chris is very adaptable and communicative, making suggestions and explaining what needs doing and when. They arrived on time every day and worked in all weathers. Chris was always there at the beginning and end of the day and often throughout the day. He managed the project very well and if extra work was required, he talked it through first and gave an indication of the cost so there were no surprises at the end.Verified reviewerJob location: TQ12 10 Block paved driveway

Job location: TQ2I used RL Paving for my driveway after finding them online and checking out some of their previous projects, they are a very professional company with good attention to detail, the guys on site were very good to deal with and nothing was too much trouble, I would strongly recommend them, Andy Pimm / Shiphay Lane10 Very hard-working team with excellent attention to detail.

We have just had Chris and his team replace the shabby old paved courtyard outside our house with beautiful red clay pavers in a herringbone pattern. They all worked incredibly hard on it, and Chris was good at keeping us informed of what was happening when. He also coordinated the removal of all the debris and the arrival of all the new pavers, drains, sand etc in a timely manner. No fuss was made when problems arose (e.g. discovery of a cracked soil pipe) and the attention to detail was excellent. I'd be happy to recommend RL Paving to friends and family.Verified reviewerJob location: TQ12
