What we do

Driveways, patios and gardens, built to last

Eight trades, one contract, and one company answerable for every job.

Our Services

Eight trades under one contract. Each one is priced the same way — a free site visit, then one itemised written figure, which only changes if you agree a change in writing. Every job is backed by our ten-year workmanship guarantee. We work across Barnsley and up to 30 miles around it, from Cudworth, Wombwell and Hoyland to Wakefield, Rotherham, Sheffield and Doncaster.

Block Paving

Herringbone, basketweave or stretcher bond, laid on a properly compacted sub-base that will not sink.

Priced per m², on the block you choose and the sub-base the ground needs.

Driveways

From worn concrete to a driveway that transforms the front of the property. Edged, jointed and finished clean.

Priced per m², plus access, excavation and taking the old surface away.

A driveway is the whole build, not one material: excavation, sub-base, edging and drainage. Choose the surface it is finished in — block paving or tarmac.

Landscaping usually combines several of the surfaces above with planting, levels and drainage. The site visit is where we work out which.

Repairs & Maintenance

Re-sanding, re-setting loose blocks, pressure washing and straightforward repairs, including work installed by others.

Priced per visit, on how much of the area has to come up.

We take on repairs to work we did not install. If it cannot be repaired honestly, we will tell you that instead of taking the job.

Materials catalogue

The full range comes to your site visit

The photographs above are a handful of examples. The colours, sizes and finishes run far wider than that, and choosing between them is easier with the samples in front of you and the house behind them. We bring the catalogue with us, go through it in daylight, and leave you with the range written down beside your quote.

The process

How It Works

Good paving starts underneath. The same four steps, on every job.

Step 1

We take a look

We measure the area and discuss exactly what you have in mind.

Step 2

We put it in writing

One itemised price, with nothing added later.

Step 3

We build it properly

A properly built sub-base, clean edges, and the site left tidy at the end of each day.

Step 4

We leave it right

We inspect the completed work with you before we leave. Then the ten-year guarantee starts.
