    New off street / Combine existing for larger space CR0
    The driveway job was exactly what a customer would want from a contractor. Danny arrived when he said he would, gave advice on sub base requirements, parking layouts, block design, drainage requirements, quoted competitively and promptly. Short version - A professional job, on time at the price quoted and without any issues. Danny and team, conducted the work professionally, promptly and did exactly what he quoted for leaving the driveway complete, looking great and ready for use. Highly recommended and hoping to use his services again in the future for a further driveway, wall and landscaping as the need arises. Thoroughly pleased and the 5 year warranty does give peace of mind.

    Driveway Widening / Rebuild Brick Wall Column
    We chose Danny because of the very reasonable quote, experience and friendly demeanour. We had our driveway widened, the existing driveway resurfaced and the front wall rebuilt. The work was done in a few days and we're very happy with the work. We made a couple of minor changes but nothing was too much trouble for Danny, which brings a lot of piece of mind. Thank you Danny and the team!

    Extend drive, replace shale with paving and redo steps
    First, I must apologise for the late review. I thought this was done earlier in the year when you got Danny in to do the work. All in all we were really happy with the work, this is no reflection on Danny but I would advise getting a couple of quotes from a couple of different people from 'mybuilder' as we found the quotes varied a lot - I guess it is just the way it is. We had a new drive done along with some steps, Danny clearly had a lot of experience , was happy to discuss changes and was always friendly. We don't have any regrets with our decision and nearly a year on we have had no issues with the work and are still happy.

    Patio
    Having paid Just paving £10,000 to re lay my garden patio, extend a wall, render the wall and replace fence panels. I am left with a garden I am Extremely unhappy with ... the render had to be re done because it came away and after it being redone it looks awful the patio hasn’t been properly pointed, one of the fence panels is back to front and the fence posts have been cut so badly that I have had to employ someone to re cut and treat them. Danny cancelled days didn’t turn up on others days and has been very good at making excuses and I quote ”getting our wires crossed” all this results in the fact that I in good faith paid Danny in full for the work he promised to come back to snag and again excuses ... we have asked for a refund of only £1000 so we can pay a true professional to complete our garden and just as I thought he hasn’t returned a penny! We are taking legal advise on this ...please don’t use this company

    Answer from tradesperson:

    In response for this negative feedback all the landscaping work (I) done for mrs Hubbard, mrs Hubbard was extremely happy with the works I personally done. The works I done was.. - large decking area - take up the old lawn and lay a new lawn to correct levels. - extend a wall in height and cut out the centre of the wall to create wide steps up to the new lawn. - 50 metres of Indian sand stone - fence all this is what I personally done, which half of this wasn’t mentioned above which came to £9,750. Rendering is not my trade, so I got a renderer to do the job, heard he was good through recomondation. I normally use someone else but he was busy with his own work.The rendering he done didn’t stick to the main walls and when I tried to get him Back he was ignoring my calls, so I got someone else in ( the person who I normally use). He done the job as I expected, a good job. Mrs Hubbard was happy. I got a call from mr Hubbard who still wasn’t happy, and didn’t want me back. I said I would come back to correct everything but he didn’t want me back and wanted £1000 back. The pointing of the patio is at a very high standard but I’m assuming where the rendering was redone near the aco drainage system needs to be re pointed.If there is one thing I’ve learned from this is not to get involved in rendering. AS you can see in all my feedback a part from this one, all the work ( I ) have done is at a high standard and lake pride in ( my ) work. I hope this don’t put you off using me

    Laying cobble patio
    Danny was amazing! He was in contact regularly from the moment we hired him, gave lots of advice on how to improve the garden and drainage without it costing a fortune and was incredibly flexible – managing to finish the garden in record time as we needed it done quickly. The work was to a beautiful standard and his team were polite, friendly and super-efficient. I have already recommended him to all my friends wanting to spruce up their gardens. If you need paving work done, then Danny is the man for you!

    New driveway
    Hired Danny to do our drive as he gave a reasonable quote and really glad we did. Work was completed in just over 3 days and we're really happy with it. Danny went above and beyond what was expected - he even spent his Friday evening clearing our blocked drain! Great end result, would highly recommend!

    Front garden paving/design
    Danny was great - helpful and professional throughout. He gave us a choice of options for our budget and delivered exactly against the one we chose. The front of our house looks immeasurably better now the paving is in and drainage improved. I’d recommend him to anyone.
