Highlights
“Ardent Paving resurfaced our very large drive (40 tonnes of gravel), replaced our sleeper wall and chemically cleaned all the brick walls. Jeff was very helpful from the quotation stage, giving us both sound advice and a reasonable quote. We are extremely fussy about any work on our house and the work that Ardent did for us was of an exceptionally high quality. Any decisions that needed to be made during the work were fully discussed with us and both Jeff and his, Marcus, were so easy and pleasant to deal with. I would, without hesitation, recommend Ardent Paving for landscaping jobs.”
“Jeff and Markus have done a fantastic job in transforming our garden. We had our garden sleepers and wooden decking replaced with composite decking and new sleepers which looks so smart. They were a pleasure to work with and I’m so glad we went with them. They are very honest and reliable. We look forward to having them back next year!”
“Jeff and Paul did such a good job last time with decking in our garden, we got them back and do the paving, paths creation and raised planter construction. They were very professional, came in exactly as per quoted and had no issue with us adding a few extras (for an additional cost) prior to starting. They were very tidy and respectful and finished on time. They were even able to start earlier than planned due to another job moving. We are very pleased with the quality of the work and would have no issue recommending them to anyone looking for paving and landscaping work.”

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
