Complete Garden Makeover
I only use Which Trusted Traders for any works I require and Diamond Driveways didn’t disappoint after reading other reviews on this website. I was quoted a competitive price after receiving many estimates, end of May 2021 for an August start date. However, I was prepared for and expected a delay due to COVID-19 restrictions and global supply chain issues of goods and materials, receiving a delayed start for 18 November that I didn’t mind at all. Special thanks to Jonathon at Diamond Driveways for his continuous communication and being flexible to minor changes in the scheduled works during my garden’s evolution, his customer relations and liaison skills are excellent and my experience was positive, I found Jonathon to be honest, polite, understanding, easy to deal with and customer focused. Hafiz, managing the on-site works and his hardworking team deserves a special mention, removing plants, trees and shrubs, excavating and levelling the ground, installing concrete posts, gravel-boards and wooden fence panels around the garden parameters, a new side gate, stairs to garden from our kitchen, re-turfing, re-designing the drainage and laying down a concrete shed base. All beautifully finished with attention to detail. All waste was cleared. Diamond Services completes a thorough inspection to customer satisfaction before signing off the works. Thumbs up for completing the project before Christmas, on time (ahead of schedule) and on budget. I will definitely use again.

Garden review
We had our garden done recently and our project manager was the wonderful Steven Lewis. We did originally want all the same sized stones for the paving, but Steven Lewis recommended that we instead go for the mixed size. As having the same size stones don’t show the variety of colour that the mixed do. We opted for raaj green and we cannot be any happier with the outcome. Ardit and his outstanding team were very professional at their job, and we couldn’t fault them in any way. The final result is amazing and we cannot wait to use our garden when the weather gets better.

Patios and paths in back garden
Diamond Driveways provided a well managed project and we are delighted with the final result. Paul Applebaum and his team were professional and courteous throughout. We would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Steven Lewis is a real Diamond!
Our project was managed by the wonderful, Steven Lewis. A superb and creative professional from start to finish. Steven quickly becomes part of the family. He is full of life and has tons of energy to deliver the perfect result. We are delighted with our new garden. There are plenty of businesses doing what Diamond Driveways do, but there is only one Steven Lewis!

Fantastic professional job
We recently had our garden walls and patio demolished and rebuilt by Diamond Driveways. Steven Lewis guided us throughout the initial process (even bringing us a delicious honey cake!) and the work was completed by Artem and his team. They were all exceptional throughout, the service was professional and the workmanship is very high quality. I can not recommend them enough. Make sure you call Steven directly!

Transformational driveway
Diamond Driveways provided us with a new driveway and this has transformed the appearance of the front of our house. We were originally dealt with by Elliot, who is very friendly and who took our order. Elliot advised on options to get the outcome we were seeking and was very professional/understanding when my wife & I changed our minds several times regarding the design! The work itself was completed within agreed timescales and to a very high standard by Ardit and his team. Ardit is also friendly and very knowledgeable regarding the practicalities and best way to overcome the issues that inevitably arise on a project such as this. Ardit and the whole team are very hardworking and they take great pride in what they do; when there was an issue with levels and the line the edging originally followed, the team identified it immediately themselves and fully resolved it without being asked. The block cuts and brick-laying are all very precise and this attention to detail has delivered a driveway that we are extremely pleased with. It would no doubt have been possible to have found a lower price for this work, but when you are undertaking a project that you only want to do once, it always a mistake to confuse price with value! I have no hesitation in recommending this company and their services and to ensure that everyone involved will understand that their efforts are appreciated, I will simply say "faleminderit"!

Front drive, patio and paths back garden.
Diamond Driveways have recently completed a new front drive , paths around our house and a new patio. We were very impressed with service from the initial meeting with Paul to completion of the work. We were advised of the schedule and costs before work started. Once work started the team were reliable and professional, any issues that arose during the build were discussed with us to ensure we were going to be happy with the finished product. I am happy to recommend Diamond Driveways to anyone considering a new drive

Really Good Looking Driveway
Diamond Driveways laid an excellent Resin Driveway for us, we saw an excellent job they did locally and contacted them for a quote. A friendly and helpful guy called Steven came round and discussed our options and came up with a good design. The guys that laid it did a good job and we were very pleased with the finish. The cost was a competitive one too. Our only small moan was a communication one when the workmen didn't turn up on a day that they were supposed too and it took a number of phone calls from us to get a response. This is a small issue, the main thing was the quality of the drive which we are very happy with.

Diamond Essex- very well named
Just had a job completed by Diamond Paving Essex. Never used them before but they sounded very friendly and knowledgeable. Work completed by Adam. Kept me fully informed on products to be used and methods employed. Quote accepted and date fixed. Time of arrival pretty spot on especially as the job was in Maidstone Kent and he came from Bedford. Block Paving that was laid in 2000 and last cleaned (only) in 2015 Jet washed, re-sanded and sealed over 2 days. Now I've got a new looking drive. All left neat and tidy, even took the mud and dirt away in bags. At all times Adam was polite and courteous, especially as this was during the Covid 19 crisis. He even brought his own mask and sanitiser. Top job. Best trade call I could have made. Thank you Mark Krendel. Your company will certainly get recommended by this customer Before and after photos available if required Best regards.

New patio
Diamond Driveways renewed our rather tired patio. The work was completed to the agreed schedule and budget. From the outset we were impressed by the professionalism of the organization from planning the job, making suggestions as to the materials we were considering (which involved us changing our minds and achieving a better result!). The team on the project worked very hard from start to finish. they left us with a tidy site at the end of each day and completely cleaned up at the end. Communication with Paul and Dariusz worked very well throughout. We are very happy with the result and have had value for money delivered as promised.

Paving
Diamond Driveways have just completed the paving in the front of our house. They sourced used bricks to match what we had before, and Chris took great trouble in matching and making sure we were happy. The boys that laid the paving worked incredibly hard and were cheerful and did an amazing job. We would thoroughly recommend Diamond Driveways, and we would use them again.

Resin Bound Driveway - Fantastic A*********
Thank you so much to everybody @ Diamond Driveways!! We are so happy with the final result! From the moment Steven came to see us we knew we was in good hands. Steven was very professional and efficient in helping us design our dream driveway and delivered on his promises, whilst also being an absolute gent along the way. Dave and his team turned up on time every day and worked very very hard. They left no mess behind and were also very friendly and professional. The most refreshing thing about the whole experience is we felt that Steven, Alex, Dave and all of his team all genuinely cared about the result and clearly take immense pride in their work and delivering great results. We have no hesitation in recommending them to friends and family! Many Thanks.

Diamond job by Diamond Driveways
So very pleased with the work carried out by a lovely team of workers. Elliott is a very personable and knowledgeable young man, who kept us informed all the time about our job and Darius is very proud of his work with good reason. The team work very well together and kept the disruption to a minimum, cleaning up after themselves and leaving us feeling confident in their ability. Cannot praise them highly enough. Well done, Diamond. Aptly named.

Fantastic new driveway and path!
Right from our first contact with Diamond Driveways we were impressed. Steven Lewis was our first point of contact and we immediately felt at ease. He listened to what we wanted and came up with a number of suggestions to improve our plan. He gave us a comprehensive list of the work and materials required and gave us a very reasonable quote for the job. Due to needing planning permission (a retaining wall was required to raise the floor level), we had to wait a few months to start the project but once it was started, again we have been impressed. Darius and his team have done a wonderful job! Although not always on site Darius was a regular visitor (as was Steven), checking his guys work and suggesting further alterations to enhance the final look. These changes did add to the original price but this was clearly communicated and agreed with us. It did take a few days longer than originally planned but I have to say it was well worth it!

New Patio
This company is truly amazing, I have never had such a personal service! My new patio was completed in 6 days which I never though would of been possible! When I first made contact Steve came round to my house a few days later and spent an hour with me designing my patio. He gave great advice and knew what he was talking about, he even said my original idea was far too big! I had to wait for the work to start but trust me these guys are worth the wait! Darius and the lads dug up (all kinds of stuff including a suitcase) and gave me a new patio in 6 days, considering the size of the area I didn't think it would be been possible. Darius and the lads were clean and tidy and worked non stop to get the job done. They arrived at 7:45 each morning to start work at 8, which I found very impressive as they had to cross the Dartford Crossing everyday! The patio itself ended up costing more than estimated, however I was always kept informed about this. I can not recommend these guys enough. Brilliant service!

Excellent job
New resin bound driveway which included new steps and kerb stones round the flower beds. An excellent team of men led by Sorin who keeps checking with you to ensure everything ok. This is a very professional company who do an excellent job. Paul, the sales director, is not pushy and works with you to ensure you get what you want. Would definitely recommend.

Driveway
Our initial contact was with Stephen who took the time to explain the various choices and options fully. The block driveway was completed to an exceptional standard by the hard-working and very professional team led by John Twinley. They worked efficiently, with a minimum of fuss and mess and cleared up meticulously at the end. They were unfailingly courteous and helpful and I have no hesitation to recommend this company.

New Resin bound driveway and associated front garden landscaping.
New Resin bound driveway and associated front garden landscaping. Work included provision of aco drainage where required, kerb stones around all flowerbeds and a single row of block paving around the perimeter of the whole area. All work was done to a high specification and standard. Any small changes requested were acted upon without any fuss. All the staff of Diamond Driveways including Elliot, the sales director, and all the workmen were without exception hard working, pleasant and accommodating. A great job done with which we are very pleased.

Block paving driveway
From the initial conversation with Elliot to the workmen arriving at 8am on the first day, they were all very courteous and worked tirelessly throughout the day. Within two days our new driveway was complete. The finished work looks amazing and they even make sure that the manhole cover blends in. There was minimal disruption to us whilst the work was being done and I would highly recommend the company.
