Highlights
“We had our front drive done by Michael and his team the end result looks far better than we expected. They cleared away all surplus items and the site was left tidy. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Certainly five star rating.”
“Recommend by a colleague. Quoted for the breaking and removal of our old collapsed concrete drive. The quote was accepted and adhere to. Started and completed on time to agreed high standard with an excellent finish. Would highly recommend.”
“We’re looking to get a new driveway and decided to replace our block paving with bound resin. Michael provided a competitive quote and also advised us jobs he had done nearby for us to look at. The work was completed to an excellent standard. Michael kept us informed throughout the process even delaying the laying of the resin as there was the possibility of rain later that day. Michael and his team came back over the weekend to complete. The site was clean and tidy and we are more than happy with our new driveway”

Great service all round and over the moon with the end result. Mike and his team worked tirelessly and were always happy to listen to any questions and queries. Very professional approach and great value for money for such a quality product!
After getting multiple quotes for my new resin driveway I decided to go with Micheal at Essex bound Resin based on a good price and very good communication compared to others. There was no pressure and I was given the time I needed to decide. Communication continued to be excellent throughout the whole job, we had a difficult few weeks of weather and micheal clearly communicated when he would arrive Work was done quickly and professionally, waste collection and deliveries were all managed by them I was left with the most amazing job that is already the envy of my neighbours Highly recommended!
Noticed the van outside neighbours so my Husband went to find out about the company. The Governor was there and he said he would come round and give me a price. A very acceptable price was given and within 3 days the work had been completed. Extremely pleased with the end result ,very friendly and professional company.
Verified by CheckatradeAmazing driveway transformation
To begin with, Mike came over and provided a reasonable quote and explained everything we needed to know about resin driveways, the work that he would carry out, and an approximate timeframe. We decided to go ahead with the work and Mike and his team have completely transformed our driveway into one that we can be proud of. The work is outstanding. Mike and his team were here each day working hard with nothing being too much trouble. Mike was very informative and carried out a very professional job to an extremely high standard. I would thoroughly recommend Mike and his team.

Verified by CheckatradeResin driveway, zero maintenance
Michael Webb from start to finish was very informative, helpful and gave us many options for the type, colour and different quality of resin for our 100 square meter front driveway and front aspect to our house. The whole project took 4 days which is incredible due to the amount of ground work that needed to be carried out, this included the removal of front wall, the removal of original block paving driveway and 34 tons of sand and earth . The finished job is truly spectacular, we are very please with final result, it has made our home brighter and now zero maintenance

Very reasonable quote. We were able to see 2 other drives locally that he had done. Worked very hard for 4 days. We now have a stunning drive. Thoroughly recommended.

Mike gave a competitive quote and stuck to the price. He and his team arrived on time and date as agreed. They carried out a very professional and top quality job which looks amazing. Attention to detail was excellent. Passing neighbours are commenting on how lovely the driveway looks.

Mike and his team have transformed the front of our home. From the very first day they arrived earlier than I expected and worked diligently throughout to excavate, remove and replace our tired old concrete driveway. The area was left clean and tidy every evening. The final finish and attention to detail gladdens my (occasionally stony) heart. Mike has been a pleasure to deal with throughout and I would not hesitate to recommend.

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.
