“After an initial appt with Shawn we discussed my requirements. Booked in work for a months time. Had Paul and his team work on my 31sqm patio. Highly experienced and great knowledge of what suited the area best. Great workmanship. Fast and swift service and cleaned up afterwards. Would highly recommend and definitely use this company again. Competitively priced also. Very happy all round. Thanks again Paul and team 👍”

Highlights
“Paul and his team provided a great service from start to finish when block paving our driveway. Their communication, attention to detail and workmanship was to a high standard and they left the area works clean and tidy. Would highly recommend their services.”
“I was very pleased with the work of Paul and Shawn's team. The team arrived on time each day and worked with skill and expertise, but were always happy to explain exactly what they were doing and accommodate a couple of requests I made. They have made a lovely job of block paving half the area, with a circular bed in the middle, and putting a new layer of shingle down for the parking area. They left the area clean and tidy, and it looks just as I wanted it to. I can thoroughly recommend their business and their team.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
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.
