Beautiful transformation of patio area
What a difference this makes to our outside living space! The work was completed in time for my 50th birthday celebrations as planned. The design vision was spot on for what we wanted and the quality is well worth the amount spent. We lived outside after this amazing transformation. A well sized team were engaged to complete the quality work within the agreed timescale. The materials fit in with the environment. I would recommend Graveltech to my friends and family. Thank you!

Stunning driveway & patio and great customer service
We have been really impressed by the work of the whole team at Graveltech, who were originally recommended by friend of mine. Including how well the whole project was managed and administrated by Sophie and Verity – the paperwork was always prompt and correct. At the outset, Sophie spent time talking us through all the options and brought round samples to select from. The team that delivered the work had a really strong work ethic and were very polite. They also left the whole area neat and tidy afterwards, which is something that can’t be said for all workmen! That, in addition to the quality of the work, means we will certainly be recommending this company to others.

Transformed out drive and garden
We met the pragmatic yet creative sales man who provided a competitive quote. The personnel that we met through the whole job were professional, capable and importantly they listened. We are very pleased with the job.

Bonded Gravel Drive
Carried out a first class job within programme. Not the cheapest, but well worth the cost for the quality of the works.

A new driveway - fast and painless
Sophie and the Graveltech team were pretty faultness. They quotes promptly (and accurately) and were persistent in the face of unforeseen challenges during the works - they didn't complain or charge additionally. Their solution was creative and the works were completed quickly and to an excellent standard. We would genuinely look to use them again and again - top notch. Lovely people, great work. Are they the cheapest? Absolutely not. Are they the best? Quite possibly. Thanks guys!

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

We had a courtyard and path laid by Graveltech with resin bound peashingle, replacing loose peashingle. The work was done on schedule and budget, communication was good and the results were excellent, and remain so 2.5 years later.

Great job, looks fab - no problems
Wanted a resin bound drive for quite a while - it's a large area so it was not cheap so needed some careful thought & consideration of potential suppliers. Rhod & GravelTech gave some excellent advice - we were confident that they would transform our driveway positively, frankly other contractors couldn't convince us in the same way. We visited a job that had been done some years before & the friends/homeowners were still very complimentary about GT and the installation team. Having lived with the new driveway for nearly 6 months now I am delighted with the decisions we made - I don't mind the occasional sweeping, cleaning/washing needed to keep it looking good as new, it's just part of having a great driveway at the front of the house. If we ever needed GT to attend to any problems with the driveway in the future they give the impression they have good enough aftercare & brand integrity to oblige.

Cannot fault the workmanship, professionalism and sheer hardwork
It was a new installation for a 180m₂ driveway – tarmac with natural gravel rolled into it, new fence on sleepers and a new gate. The existing drive was an eyesore – a very poor existing tarmac drive with holes and undulations, bordered by ugly land and trees with huge variances in height levels - I had removed 8 trees before speaking to Rhod So Rhod visited the site and came up with some creative ideas and options that we would never have thought of. Mike ran the project with a team of incredibly hard working and talented guys. The quality of workmanship was remarkable and the project just ran like clockwork. They first had to remove around 30+ tonnes of existing driveway debris, tree stumps and old patio. Then it all just came together - the cobbles at the gate entrance and around the curved perimeter make it look very special indeed. We have had so many neighbours stopping by to commend us on the work – it’s a real showstopper now – not an eyesore at all! And it’s level now too! Graveltech was not the cheapest quote. But after meeting Rhod, understanding Graveltech’s approach, quality of materials, ideas etc - I got a true sense of honesty, care and craftsmanship. Graveltech are in another league. It’s transformed the front of our house and I love it. It’s gone from letting the street down to being the stand-out house! Cheers for all the hard work guys. I would recommend Graveltech no-one else comes close

Landscaping
I contracted with Graveltech to re-landscape my garden including re-laying lawns, reshaping beds and laying pathways. I am very happy with the results. The quote they gave was competitive and the work was completed within the estimated timescales and the team were efficient and always courteous. I would use them again and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Driveway
I discovered Graveltech when I was browsing for driveways on the Internet. I needed a porous driveway so was drawn towards the resin bound surface solution. I made contact with the Sales Director Rhodri Davies. He sent me addresses where Graveltech had installed resin bound driveways recently. I visited most addresses and without exception, customers were happy with the work and praised the company for their friendly and professional approach. I sketched out my ideas and discussed them with Rhodri on his first visit. With his vast experience of landscaping, he could see ways to enhance the appearance of the driveway. It was useful to have those ideas to mull over. When the final plan was agreed, he measured up and emailed me a price. It fell between two other quotes but I chose Graveltech because of the enthusiastic reports I had received from previous customers and of the constructive ideas proposed by Rhodri. I had a couple of issues when the site was being prepared but these were quickly and efficiently resolved to my satisfaction by Mike Peacock the Operations Director. I found the members of the workforce friendly and hard working. All clearly took a pride in their work. I am now the proud owner of a smart driveway which gets admiring glances by passers-by and I am looking forward to my first chance to recommend Graveltech to potential customers in person! I have no hesitation in recommending Graveltech as a Which? Trusted Trader.

Quality work
We instructed Graveltech in August 2011 to undertake a new drive and landscaping of our garden. The service provided was excellent, with innovative ideas being given at the design stage which provided a fantastic finished product. We choose bonded gravel for the driveway which looks great and is very hard wearing along with artificial grass which has provided a great solution for a small shaded area of garden and allows a clean and safe kids play area. The workmen were highly professional and very friendly causing minimal disruption through the works period. All in all we were highly impressed with the level of service, design ideas and overall price which has resulted in an exceptionally finished driveway and garden – our neighbours are very jealous! Kind regards Barry and Nicola Coltrini

The Best Driveway!
I wanted something different and first saw stone bonding some years ago but a quotation from another contractor at the time seemed high. I recently came across Graveltech’s website. I saw the fact that they are a “Which?” recommended contractor as a plus. Graveltech worked promptly, efficiently and at a reasonable cost. Clearly they take pride in their work, and made a number of helpful suggestions which improved upon my original ideas. My drive was liable to flood but porous stone bonding has completely eliminated that problem. When there is a deluge I no longer have to sweep away mud and water. The new drive has a bright, smooth finish. It has been much admired by visitors and has enlarged the space for parking and turning cars. The ‘kerb appeal’ itself has been significantly been lifted, giving the house itself an appearance of being new.

No Problems
With the exception of a few minor quibbles, not important enough to reduce my ratings from max, I can recommend Graveltech. Communication was good and I am very happy with the result. I am confident that I made the right choice between three competitive tenders.

Patio Replacement April 2017
We had been thinking of replacing our old patio for some time and have to say we are very pleased that we selected Graveltech to carry out the work. From the start of the project to final completion everything went to plan. The workmen arrived every morning on time at 8.00am worked all day until 5.00pm and finished the job of approximately 60 sq metres of Sandstone Pavers in four and a half days. We are very satisfied with the result and would recommend the company to anyone carrying out a similar project.

A very professional job.
The job was laying a porous stone bonded drive in place of an old loose pebble drive. The end result looks beautiful, as well as being very practical and easy to park the car and walk on without tripping. The sale manager was very knowledgeable and offered several suggestions to improve the appearance which made the end result more attractive. I have had several appreciative comments from random visitors. Three different specialist work teams all turned up on time on the three consecutive days as scheduled ,and were all very skilled completing the work to a very high degree of finish.

A Supplier of Choice
Garden paths all around the house and conservatory, raised patio area and hard standing in front of garage. The work was carried out in a professional manner and very tidy overall. The site of the work was continually cleaned every day when work was complete for the day. The workforce was very polite and respectful of one?s property. Finally the completed work was of the very highest standard and I would recommend Graveltech to any of my friends and family.

Resin bound driveway from scratch!
Fab experience from the first phone call to the finished job. Everyone comments on how amazing it looks. Having cut into a garden wall, removed the grass and planting and built the driveway on what used to be a lawn, I cannot fault the workmanship or the willingness to include all our wants along the way. Great team, great result, happy customer.
