Highlights
“John and his team installed a fantastic gravel bound surface on our very large driveway. It was a 4 day job and they had to work around some inclement weather but they turned up, on time and as arranged, each day. They also installed a large cobbled area between our gates which was beautifully laid and pointed. They all worked so hard on the preparation to make sure the surface was in the best condition prior to the final surface going down. John was a pleasure to deal with - he has many years of experience and advised and guided us through the many questions that we had! Highly recommended.”
“So pleased with the work carried out by John and his team. They were punctual, hard working and polite, cleaned up after themselves and took pride in their work. First class job”
“Newlook Driveways under the management of John Penfold redid my driveway and I am very pleased with the result. John’s quote was competitive and he and his very capable team turned up on time and did a great job.”

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.
