What an amazing job! I cannot recommend them enough - my drives are stunning and I could not be happier. Everything was done properly from start to finish - professional, polite and respectful workforce. Excellent communication, I made one or two small changes which were accommodated with a smile. They even helped out a neighbour with great generosity- a great example of their work ethic and attitude. Thank you so much boys!
I cannot express enough how pleased I am with the transformation of my new patio. Ryan and his team worked rigorously through the recent heatwave to get the job done. They arrived early, worked late, cleaned and tidied each day. Ryan was very helpful with the design of the patio and explained everything they were doing. Ryan is very polite and friendly and went way beyond my expectations with the patio, it looks absolutely stunning. I 100% recommend Ryan and his team, you won’t find anyone better.
I contacted S Ryan & Son to obtain a quote to dig up old block paving & lay a new driveway. From our first point of contact to completion of the job Ryan was a pleasure to deal with. His team did a fantastic job which also included repointing two walls. Each day on completion of the work the site was left clean & tidy. Ryan goes above & beyond & his quotation was extremely competitive. If you want a quality job done look no further than S Ryan & Son. I would happily recommend them to anyone. Steve Dagenham.

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.
