Really Good Job
I used Graveltech to replace a 1930's concrete path and parking area in front of my house. They had to break-up, dig out and remove the ancient thick concrete and then replace it with a pattern of terracotta pavers. Also change the size of the several large flowerbeds and add sidings to them at various heights. Finally, they also removed an old gate and refurbished a low wall. They were helpful and inventive during the design stage and after a slight delay getting started they turned up in force and worked intensively but with the minimum of upheaval. The workers were unintrusive and considerate of both us and the neighbours and seemed like genuinely pleasant people. The work was done efficiently and to a very high standard. The laying of the pavers and structuring the flowerbed sidings was an intricate and fairly difficult job which they did beautifully and with real taste. They weren't the cheapest quote but I'm very happy with what they achieved & I'd definitely recommend them.

Resin surfacing and garden work
After seeing a friends resins drive, I knew that was what I wanted. Rhodri came to design the front of my house where I was going to have the resin and added some Portuguese Laurels, Mike also did some work on my garden, putting new turf, paving, cobbled edging and a few more hedges. The resin and garden looks lovely! Having not had other quotes to compare I could not say whether they were the cheapest, but I am happy with the result. Thank you to Rhodri, Mike and his team

Great service and excellent finished product, would definitely recommend
c100sqm resin patio. Great pre-sales advice and communications to ensure we got it just right. Professional hard-working team. Small problem with the first layer of resin (problem with the resin manufacture) which they immediately put right. A little pooling of water in one area of the patio after heavy rain which again they immediately remedied. Very happy with Graveltech and would recommend.

Great job, high quality, very professional
Graveltech removed my old block paved drive and replaced it with resin bound gravel. They also replaced a boundary wall and fence with new fence panels and oak sleepers. The result looks amazing. They did a fantastic job from start to finish. Rhod helped us design the layout of the new drive and provided great advice on the materials. Mike and the team then delivered exactly to the design. I was very impressed with the amount of preparation work, and how much effort and material went into the foundations of the new drive. I am confident that it will last for years. In summary, I absolutely recommend Graveltech. They were helpful, reliable, and professional, and did a great job.

Outstanding work and finish
We first used Graveltech 4 yrs ago to put the finishing touches to a large extension by doing our driveway and paths and where very pleased with the work. We contacted them in July to help create an outdoor living space to also incorporate a hot tub area. They did a plan, and then the work and the finished work has turned out better than we expected. Thank you again Graveltech first class work.

Driveway, alley and patio renewal
Great advice from Rhodri, before being the go ahead. Mike and the team worked through some very testing weather conditions and made a great job. Neighbours and friends very impressed. Would highly recommend.

Resin bound rear patio area & side paths
Graveltech were recommended by a friend who had used them previously as we were thinking of having slabs laid. I'm so glad we didn't. From the first meeting with Rhodri who arrived promptly and explained the entire process, we knew we had made the correct choice. Rhodri subtly adjusted the designs and gave valuable advice and a very attractive price. Mike and the install team were equally outstanding. The preparation of the site and groundworks were extremely thorough and the application of the resin bound product was made to look so simple. The site was left spotless after each stage and the guys worked through some bitterly cold weather but the end results are stunning. Huge thanks Graveltech, would recommend these folks in a heartbeat.

Resin Driveway and Flower Beds
Graveltech came on recommendation from a friend who had used them. We had several visits to discuss what we wanted and thanks to Rhod's suggestions on what would work for us, we changed our original idea to something which was so much better and softer on the eyes. Rhod was very approachable and easy to discuss our requirements with. Rhod suggested the edging and resin colour showing us samples so we could visualise it. The team had to firstly clear the existing driveway which involved breaking up the existing one. They did this very quickly and had grabber lorries arriving to take the rubble away. They arrived on time each day and were always polite and tidied up at the end of each day. Nothing was too much for them, when we wanted the level lowered after they had started to prepare the ground they did this without a fuss. There were other 'tweaks' we wanted done and they also accommodated these, such as lowering the fence they had erected for us. Due to bad weather there was a delay in completing the driveway, but Verity in the office kept us updated on when the work would be continued and was apologetic for the delays due to the weather (out of her hands!). The work came in at the agreed price and we are very pleased with the end result. All paperwork was received and was in order. Passers by still comment on how nice the driveway looks, and one of our neighbours has asked for details of the firm that did our driveway and we have passed Graveltech's details on.

Fantastic service from start to finish
Rhod left us feeling incredibly comfortable and confident after his initial survey visit. He clearly knows his products inside and out and was able to advise us on design options. The work itself was carried out with great skill and patience by Mike and the install team, despite terrible conditions. The drive looks great and was carried out within estimated timings and on budget. Many thanks to Rhod, Mike, Verity and the rest of the team. I have already recommended and will continue to do so!

Driveway & Tiling of existing pond walls.
Unfortunately we have had to have our drive re-done (bonded resin) for the second time in 5 years. This is because it was not done correctly previously. From start to finish Graveltech were professional and knowledgeable and actually turned up on every occasion they said they would which is rare these days! The advice we were given on colours and materials was spot on. We also asked if they could take on a job with our pond walls which were rendered but we wanted them tiled. Other contractors had not came back to us on this project despite promising quotes etc. Oh wow, what a job Graveltech have done on this, it looks fantastic. We cannot recommend Graveltech highly enough. Reliable, efficient, clean and tidy workers. It's a job, very well done.

Top Class Exemplary workmanship
I recently had Graveltech come out and design my rather unattractive driveway. Rhod who came out originally gave us ideas and ways to approach this. Upon execution, we had Mike whom managed the project end to end, which we were delighted was organised as part of the works. The guys who came on site were extremely pragmatic, skilled and meticulous in the way this was done. They were tidy and you can tell immediately they are experienced in this. I can say with full confidence this was delivered to an extremely high standard and I am delighted to be writing this. The job was worth every penny. I highly recommend Graveltech and this came to me as a high recommedation - but now i have full on experiance to write my own review. Keep up the exemplary work standard and ethics guys, you are rare!

Design & Install Resin Bound Driveway
We first read reviews for Graveltech Driveway work done in North London area. Rodhri Davies called and advised us on the best solution for our driveway. They designed the Driveway and commenced worth on 11 September. Martin the Project manager was great person to deal with and any changes we needed to make. The team workers were all hard working and considerate. We required our back garden patio to be repointed and sealed and they did this without any fuss. Our driveway now looks immaculate and we are very pleased with the Graveltech Team who carried out works to very high professional standards and will recommend them to our friends and family.

Outstanding work and finish
A great many thanks to Rhod and his team, led by Mike on site. Great attention to detail in the preparation stages meant that site works commenced on time. The day to day team were very professional and punctual. When we encountered issues they were clearly communicated and a revision agreed without any fuss. I would have no issues at all recommending them to my clients and friends in the future.

Works driveway side and back of house
A fantastic service from start to finish. Rhod has great vision and was able to advise on the best fit for our front and back. Mixing resin millboard and slabs perfectly. We had time to make decisions which were reviewed right up to the day when the team started. The team were clean prompt and obviously very adept slabbing fence building and finally resin. Rhod and Mike attended at various points during the work to check all was going to plan. A really great job .

Resin Driveway
All members of the team at Graveltech have been helpful, pleasant and attentive from the the first enquiry, to the design and throughout the duration and completion of our driveway. Rhod listened to what we asked for and dealt with our initial questions, Mike set up the team of workers on site and Josef kept the work moving, all with Verity back at the office providing back-up. The team worked independently so we could get on with our days. All in all a very smooth procedure from a team we would recommend.

Front path and steps to wheelchair-accessible slope
I was delighted with the outcome and at every stage of working with the Graveltech team. Rhodri visited very soon after I contacted the company and appreciated the changes required fully and made informed suggestions. The work started soon and was swift and efficient. The construction team arrived early and promptly every morning and worked very hard to construct a very aesthetically pleasing new path for me that is accessible and safe. Several of my neighbours have commented on how nice the transformation looks. All work was carefully overseen by Mike who ensured that my plants were completely unbothered by the work. Extra topsoil was even provided against an altered bank. All the work was tidy and the team were self-sufficient yet they kept me informed at every stage. The finished work has been guaranteed and I have received full after-care instructions. I strongly recommend Graveltech. I have been impressed by their work, they have been a pleasure to interact with and the outcome has been wonderful.

Exceptional quality of proposed solution and work.
Initially, we required a rotting garden post to be replaced. Then, a chance conversation with Rod about having some work done repairing and extending the pathways and patios improved and extended has led to our fantastic garden layout which all the family love. Both Rod and Mike came up with first-rate suggestions to improve our simplistic ideas at little or no increased cost. It seems to us, that the driving force for the company was improving the quality of the customer experience not maximizing profits for the company. The workers they use are trustworthy and polite with the correct degree of skills to complete the work to a high standard. Good management of their staff meant work went ahead at pace. They said the job would be completed within the week and it was to the day. Ably supported by Verity in the office made contact with all the company's staff professional, helpful, and friendly. We cannot recommend this company highly enough.

New Garden and Drive
Exemplary! From Rhod discussing the design and pricing what we wanted to Mike and his team doing the work. Nothing was too much trouble. Both jobs completed in 10 days. Attention to detail, nothing was too much trouble and we couldn’t even get the workers to have a cup of tea. As a landlord who has dealt with a lot of contractors this is the best experience I have ever had. Thank you Team Graveltech.

Professional and excellent work, completed on time
Graveltech were asked to restore a areas of grass that had become damaged by the use of a heavy lifting platform whilst Earthpoints Ltd were carrying out solar PV installation at one of our clients, a secondary school in St Albans. Due to heavy rainfall over several weeks the ground was extremely wet resulting in challenging conditions. We needed the ground restored quickly and the work needed to be carried out within a tight time period during the school holidays. Mike and Rhodri quickly understood our requirements and proposed a solution to exceed our client's expectations. This was implemented on budget and within the agreed timeline. The ground works carried out by Mike and his team left the areas looking better than they had before the area had been damaged. When one area was unfortunately further damaged by another contractor, undoing the excellent work that Graveltech had done, they responded immediately, returning to the site to restore the ground once more to a pristine condition. Overall, the work was first class and the outcome excellent. Graveltech were easy to work with before, during and after the works and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

New Driveway and Fencing
Graveltech provided a detailed proposal to replace an existing driveway with a new design applying a porous resin bound shingle surface, cobbled edging, landing pad for front door and new fencing. We were extremely pleased with the whole process from the consultation and planning through to execution and completion. We were provided with relevant referral sites to assist with the thought process. There was no pressure to make a decision and the focus was all about getting the design right. The project was delivered on plan, on budget and on the dates agreed. Throughout the process we benefitted from great communication with the Graveltech team and we are delighted with our new driveway.

The experience with Graveltech was excellent from start to finish. Rhod was very knowledgeable and explained how the resin product worked and how it was installed. He offered suggestions on how to get the best finish and took my budget into account when putting his quote together. His team were brilliant on-site - polite, friendly, tidy and hard working. We are really pleased with the finished driveway and would recommend Graveltech.

Impressive and efficient work!
From our initial contact with Graveltech, through to the completion of our new driveway, we were suitably impressed with the care & professionalism demonstrated by every member of staff. When Rhodri Davies visited us to discuss what the company could offer, he listened attentively to our thoughts & ideas but also offered helpful, practical suggestions which could enhance the front aspect of our property. After receiving a detailed quote via email from Rhodri the following day, which we accepted, we were fortunate enough to receive a start date for the following Monday! The project manager, Mike Peacock introduced himself on day one of the operation, & was available for contact throughout the duration of the work. Each member of the construction team was polite and conscientious; the attention given to tidying up the site at the end of each working day was great! We are absolutely delighted with our new driveway, which was completed in an amazing eight working days, and within a month of our initial email to the company! We have had numerous positive comments from neighbours, passers-by and delivery staff since the driveway was completed. Graveltech deserves nothing but praise and acclamation for the attitude & effort of its staff in providing us with our fantastic new driveway!
