Highlights
“Johnny and his team were friendly, professional and very quick. The pricing was reasonable and we are very happy with our new driveway.”
“In a world where we are use to people over promising, use to shoddy workmanship, use to wasting our money - J Ward restored my faith ! From our first meeting to discuss what we wanted, to receiving a detailed breakdown of what J Ward would do & deliver at a very competitive price , to the work actually being carried out - we were impressed to say the very least . Our work was started within 2 days and completed a day ahead of schedule. The work was carried out with such precision and care that I would recommend this company without hesitation. Very professional and superb quality of work.”
“Wow! Johnny and his team are incredible. The skill and speed of these guys is truly unbelievable. They work so hard in all weathers and leave no stone unturned to get pure perfection. They completed our whole garden and driveway in just 8 days. Johnny was always quick to respond to any questions we had and to come up with solutions, making the end result even better than we could have imagined. If you are lucky enough to have these guys doing your works, prepare to be amazed. Thank you all so much, we could not be happier.”

Verified by Checkatrade
Cannot praise this team highly enough. Johnny and his staff were friendly, professional, and hard working. They completed the job a day early. It's been 6 months since it finished and we're still delighted with the result. Johnny explained the whole process clearly and dealt with any questions and concerns straight away. They were careful to protect the lawn, and post-job cleanup was perfect. They even fixed the wonky gate without us asking. No hesitation recommending this team for back garden patio work.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review for J Ward Drives and Patios Ltd This is the third time I’ve used J Ward Drives and Patios Ltd, and once again they’ve done an excellent job. The new patio looks fantastic, the team worked cleanly and efficiently, and even managed to complete everything in tough weather conditions. Always reliable and professional — highly recommended!
I recently had landscaping done by J Wards and Patios Ltd, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. The workers were incredibly friendly and professional, consistently going above and beyond to ensure my vision was realized. They were attentive to my needs and made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Not only was the quality of work exceptional, but the prices were also very reasonable, making it a worthwhile investment for my home. I am beyond happy with the transformation of my outdoor space! I highly recommend J Wards

Verified by CheckatradeBlock Paving Drive and Fence
We're absolutely delighted with our new block paving drive and fence from Johnny and his team. They've completely transformed the front of our home! Johnny's attention to detail and commitment to a lasting, quality build is clear in every aspect of his work. I'm confident the drive will serve us well for many years to come. The whole team was professional, considerate, and clearly took pride in their work. They worked efficiently, kept everything tidy, and made the process stress-free from start to finish. I have no hesitation in recommending Johnny and his team to others!
Johnny came the next day after my enquiry, arriving dead on time, talked through the options, got two quotes an hour later. I was vey impressed by the customer service and very good communication, didn't even bother getting any more quotes from other firms. Work and price agreed on Monday, work started on Thursday, finished Friday afternoon. Everything cleaned up, tidied up and minor damages repaired. All top lads, building work is always a stress, but everything was easy with these guys. Will use again.

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.
