How we work

A drive is only as goodas the base underneath.

Anyone can lay a nice top layer. What decides whether it lasts is the dig and the sub-base below it, the part you never see once we have finished. That is where we take our time.

  1. Free site visit, with our portfolio and samples
  2. Dig out and clear, with our own machinery
  3. Build a proper compacted sub-base
  4. Lay, edge and finish the surface
  5. Clean up, so you would not know we had been

Before and after

Watch a tired drivecome back to life.

Cracked concrete, patched repairs and weeds in every joint. We break it out, rebuild the base and finish it properly. Same drive, a different front of house.

  • Old surface broken out and taken away
  • New base built and compacted
  • Finished, edged and cleaned up

From the first point of contact he's reliable, comes when he says he will, keeps you in the loop and does a superb job. Once finished Mike and his team clear up after themselves, so well that you wouldn't know they'd been.
Cathy F. · Facebook · 2020
Mike and his son work tremendously hard in all weathers, and are keen to ensure the customer has exactly what they want. I have no hesitation in recommending Mike for any work - his work and finish is top quality.
Wendy W. · Facebook · 2017
Our driveway was a mismatch of 3 different sections of gravel, some old concrete and a step. In two days he has completely overhauled it and it looks amazing.
