i can recommend Steve, nice guy and did a good job for us.

I found Steve to be a very pleasant and punctual guy. He put a drain and soak away in my block paving to stop rain water laying next to the house. He also lifted and relayed sunken blocks in the path and driveway. Looks like he’s done a good job ! Torrential rain will tell. I’d certainly recommend him and would use him again.

Steve was very measured in how he approached the job, didn't rush it and involved me in what he planned to do. The job was to repair a small area of a block drive that had subsided and apparently finding the cause of the subsidence before repairing it is the important bit and Steve did that very well. Overall I was very happy with what he did and will use him again if the situation arises.

Friendly, reliable, and great workmanship. Highly recommended. Many thanks!!

Brilliant would definitely recommend

Excellent job done by Steve. Very professional, skilled and a very nice man. My dog is very upset that the job is finished and Steve won't be coming round every morning! I would have no hesitation recommending him. And for any other jobs we have I will be contacting Steve.

I am very pleased to have asked Steve to repair part of my drive and driveway drainage. Due to the strong slope on the drive some of the work required careful thought. I liked that Steve was prepared to have a detailed conversation, when he came to quote, about how the repairs might be approached and the potential obstacles. This gave me a lot of confidence. He worked hard and carefully, to avoid debris in the drain for instance, and was happy to discuss progress. This was a relatively small job and his time estimate was pretty much spot on. I was happy with the quoted price which I felt was appropriate for the work to be done. I asked Steve to do the work because I felt comfortable after our first discussion, which was not so true of the large specialist driveway companies who came to quote (or failed to quote). Steve’s finished work looks to be good quality and he proved polite, understanding and friendly throughout and I will be happy to use him again if a need arises. There was no pushy sales talk so I would recommend he be at least asked to quote for your job.

Steve did a fabulous job relaying our patio . He worked hard and was very thorough and conscientious making sure that each little detail was correct. Having finished the back garden he cleaned and regrouted the paved drive as an extra and not only did we enjoy having him around but more importantly he did a truly excellent job. Thank you.

Steve was able to lay my turf for me the day it was delivered which was very helpful as it is late in the season. He consulted with me every step of the way and l am very pleased with the end result at a price l was happy with. He watered it and gave me advice on caring for it during the first few months too.

Patio area and steps…… Steve carried out a very professional job and am very pleased with the finish. It was a pleasure dealing with Steve and will definitely use his services for future projects
