    Convert shingled driveway to block paved driveway
    Peter and his crew were incredibly professional and friendly. They worked with me to create exactly what I wanted while imparting some of their feedback and experience from their years in the industry. Prices and timelines were discussed beforehand and adhered to - no nasty surprises at the end of the job. Would definitely recommend.

    New Large Block Paving Driveway
    Peter and his team did a fantastic job for me. I was particularly impressed with their professionalism, led by Peter. This was a difficult project as I was abroad. Despite that the team kept me fully informed and executed the project superbly. Well done to Peter and his team. Highly recommended!

    Patio with stones rear of terrace house
    I hired Peter’s team to do our patio in the garden with porcelain tiles. Peter was very quick to give us a good quote and some advises. He is also very responsive overall and professional. On the job, his team worked hard under mid-July heat and completed the job within 3 days. It looks very good at the moment. I’m however disappointed by some of the finish. The grouting product they used was not good (I’ve ended doing it myself), tile levelling could have been done better, some cement finish was poorly done or rushed. To Peter’s credit they came back to adjust a few minor things. So for a very fair priced job that requires heavy duty work, I would recommend Peter’s team. But for a job that requires good finish, I think he still needs to gain experience and maybe review some of the builders’s skills who work with him.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    Hi Mael. As we discussed, I would be coming over to re-level the single tile that has a minor puddle after torrential downpours. 30 degree summer heat does not benefit any form of grouting hence why I came back. Will be in touch in the next few days.

    Replace timber decking with paving slabs or concrete
    Very nice friendly family business. They replaced our rotting wooden decking with Indian sandstone paving and also replaced our grass. Hard grafters - They said it would take 4 days and they completed it as such. They started early each day and worked hard. They were all very polite and tidied up everything at the end really well. Peter oversaw the project and discussed everything with me throughout the job. The dad has excellent attention to detail. Would definitely recommend.

    New driveway
    Peter and his team did a fantastic job. DNA was our second choice for almost 100sqm driveway, however the contractors that we chose were "taking time" to start with the works. After calling Peter on Thursday and offering him this job works began sharp on Monday morning and were all finished by Thursday midday. Huge job - 10Tonnes of Mot1, 4tonnes of concrete and 11 pallets of bricks, small brick wall and 2 sets of drainage was also installed. Great level of communication, easy to talk to and friendly team (most of them Peter's family) made this experience very smooth and positive. In all honesty, we were unsure of DNA before works started (they gave cheapest quote) which turned to be the best decision we took for our drive way. Highly recommended.

    Newly paved front garden
    Peter and his team are great. Peter visited us to talk through our plans and provided a quote on the day (followed up in writing). He was always available to answer any questions, which is reassuring when you're about to spend hard-earnt savings on a new front drive. He dropped off samples and we were able to see his work locally, where he's working on a number of houses in one road (following recommendations). We had a challenge come up that was fixed quickly (poorly laid gas pipe from previous builders). Peter was very safety conscious and got this checked out before continuing. Work was completed by the team extremely quickly and efficiently to a high standard, so we're very happy! We now need to get the house painted for proper kerb appeal!

    New Patio Area
    DNA promptly completed the patio quickly and within budget. I found that DNA offered suggestions and advice to improve the look of the patio. The team left the place tidy and cleared rubbish from the site. I am pleased with the result.
