Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 9 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Joe was straightforward to engage with and we quickly agreed on the work. He promised a fast turnaround and his team turned up the next day and completed the whole job in one go. I am delighted with the quality of the staff, how hard they worked and how the job turned out.
Had my driveway tarmacked with a block paving edge, really happy with the workmenship and the work carried out. Explained everything that was being carried out throughly, plenty of colours choose from for the edges. James was very helpful from the start to the end. I personally would highly recommend this company as the work was completed to an exceptional standard and finished on time, many thanks to first choice paving. More...

Completely exceeded our expectations!!!New driveway and patio, 1st class work from Michael and his large team, definitely recommend, thanks guys
Michael and The team did An amazing job
Had our drive changed from gravel to block paving and couldn't fault the effort everyone put in despite the weather (too wet & too hot all in 1 week). Very hard working, tidy & pleasant team. Great communication from Michael before, during and after (couple of blocks cracked & needed replacing). Had lots of compliments from neighbours & passers by. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. More...
Was looking to tidy up the front of our property whilst also replacing some wood fencing. (Fencing with another provider that Greater Driveways recommended)Read some reviews on the Saturday and contacted. Next day, owner of the business (Michael) came out to measure up and gave us a quote for what we were after. Lovely and honest fella. Everything was done to a fantastic standard and would recommend him and his workforce again to anyone. More...
Quality work. My main concern with getting a new driveway was how long it would last, due to sinking ground etc. They excavated beyond the minimum requirements and also sent me a picture. Finished result is good, proper drainage installed and level. Recommended. More...
Wow! A fabulous new driveway & patio from Greater Driveways. Expert advice on materials & design choices. No hard sell. Excavation, preparation & installation by skilled craftsmen who are hard-working, punctual, polite & cheery. They took care to minimise disruption for us and our neighbours. Results far exceeded our expectations. Brilliant from start to finish. More...
Had greater driveways to install new driveways and patio, can't rate this company enough, very professional and altogether brilliant result and experience, 12/10for this company
Greater Driveways delivered the professional job on repairing and cleaning my block paved driveway. Fast, efficient, good follow-up and communication from the moment the job was posted until the completion. Left the driveway and the street clean. Good price. More...

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
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.
