Two customers report defective driveways: gravel drive moved after one day and driveway rendered unusable. Promises of repair or refund went unfulfilled. Two earlier reviews praised garden patio work and fair pricing, but issues remain unresolved years later.

Will and his team deliver driveway and patio work consistently ahead of schedule with no mess left behind. Communication is detailed and responsive at every stage. One reviewer raised concerns about materials blocking the road during work. Most jobs are resin or tarmac driveways, patios, and dropped kerb installations. Staff often help with planning and highways paperwork. Reviewers name Will as the owner and praise his team's work ethic and friendliness. Aftercare includes remedial work to meet standards.
