In the summer of 2014 we had Graveltec install our new driveway. From our first meeting to discuss our requirements to the final laying of the driveway everything went to plan. They provided a very professional and efficient service and the team were hard working, conscientously, courteous and accommodating to our wishes. We would have no hesitatation in recommending them.

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.

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.

During my initial meeting with Rhodhri we discussed the different options we had for our driveway. He had a good appreciation of what he could do for are budget and came up with some excellent ideas. Once we chose the options he was quick to give a detailed price breakdown with installation dates. I am pleased to say he met all dates as promised and there was no issues with the budget. I am really pleased with the job that he and his team done and have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

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

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.

I recently used Graveltech for my driveway. I had a combination of resin bound and sandstone. I asked a few local contractors but Rhodri was the only one that gave me some great ideas. I was originally going to have straight boring lines but he advised I introduce curves and also leave room for plants to make a feature. If you are looking for someone to inspire you and give suggestions then Rhodri is your man. In terms of the actual work they did, the finish was excellent. The workers (approx. 4 people) were clean, polite and very quick. I am so pleased with the end result. Also worth noting that some contractors said it was fine to resin over my old cracked concrete but Rhodri was adamant we needed to get rid of the concrete and install type 1 as this was the safest solution. I would recommend Graveltech to anyone that's needs their driveway renovated.

I contacted Graveltech as other traders had failed to respond satisfactorily. Rhodri suggested work they had done in our area which we viewed. He attended the site and made several helpful suggestions in addition to what was initially required. All aspects of the process were handled quickly and efficiently and the 4 workers who did the work operated very quickly and professionally. The site was left clean and tidy and we are delighted with the results. We would definitely recommend Graveltech.

He takes a personal interest and shows professional pride in delivering a beautiful final design. The work was completed on time, on budget and the team were polite, on time and tidy always. I would have no hesitation in recommending Graveltech for any landscape or driveway solutions.

We had other companies quote for us but from the moment Rhod at Graveltech came to see us we wanted his company to do the work and the price we were given was the most competitive too. The work undertaken was done with care and precision with nothing being too much when we wanted to do minor changes.The team were efficient and professional and a pleasure to have around. We have had no end of comments from neighbours, friends and family at how great it looks. We would have no hesitation in recommending Graveltech if you want something that is exceptional workmanship and stands out from the rest.

I recently used Graveltech for my resin bond driveway and was delighted with the work that they did and their level of customer service. Rhod replied quickly to my enquiry and arrived to do a consultation and had some great ideas. When he sent the quote over I sent it to my brother in law who runs a landscaping business and he couldn't fault the work that was being suggested, the actual way the driveway was being laid or the price. When the work started the guys were very hard working and Mike the site manager was superb and answered any questions I had. GravelTech are a quality company who I would highly recommend.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Graveltech. We have actually used them twice - once to re-design our back garden and lay a patio and secondly to put up a long back garden fence. They came up with some great ideas (things we hadn't even thought about) and then worked tirelessly to get the jobs done. One of the best things was that you hardly knew they were there and all of a sudden your garden is transformed. Overall a fantastic service. G Taylor

I recommend this first-class company unreservedly. They did a fantastic job on our patio and garden, from design to advice on planting. Rhodri spent a lot of time with us discussing options and designs for our landscaping and he is very creative. He showed some sketches to us and let us choose our own ideas. He is very easy to relate to, never pushy and always responsive. He takes a personal interest and shows professional pride in the execution of the work and the detail. The project was completed on time and on budget; the team were very professional, in spite of lousy winter weather. It's clear the company recruit only the best operatives. Rhodri was very good at sourcing materials, such as a fountain, and it was not any trouble to sort out lighting and electrics. The complete job was both promised -and delivered, without fuss or quibble. I would have no hesitation recommending them or using them personally again. To sum up, if you want professionals for a garden or driveway, call on Graveltech and ask for Rhodri.

We had our existing patio, side paths and driveway completely removed. A common level found around the outside of the property after a significant amout of excavation. A different shape of drive and patio installed using limestone for the patio and resin bonded gravel to for the drive. The resin was also used to creat side paths. It was stressless. My father, being an engineer checked, and was incredibly impressed with what they had been able to achieve.

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.

I have rarely had work done in such a professional manner, from a salesman (Rhodri) who offered excellent suggestions regarding the detail,including a idea I would never or thought of ( putting cobbles along the entrance of the garage to hide the concrete slab), to workmen who knew their job and turned up on schedule. The end result looks splendid.

We have recently finished a long extension project and the driveway was the last piece in the jigsaw to finish off the house. Graveltech have done an amazing job! Rhodri made several suggestions to alter the shape of the lawns slightly so that the new bonded resin finish ran seamlessly to the front door following some much visually cleaner curves than we had before. We added further work during the job to build us a 'curved', rising, front entrance wall to the drive from Oak sleepers - and Mike didn't blink - finishing this superbly as well. Graveltech levelled the drive, the lawns either side of it, re-turfed them and planted shrubs and greenery in all the new beds that they suggested, and created. We were away when the final layer of resin bonded gravel was laid - and the smiles on our faces as we arrived home to such an amazing change to the front of the house (and the side path!) said it all. Great job gents, thank you very much. I also hear that my neighbour has now asked for a quote from you as he said to me "I feel as though I'm letting the road down now I've seen yours!". I have no hesitation in recommending Graveltech as a business, and the team who worked so industriously and efficiently by the half dozen when on site, .... and the price was competitive to boot.

We recently used Graveltech to fit a new patio for us. From the very start, the service was impeccable. On the first visit, Rhod came up with a design that I would never have thought - it's fantastic. When the job started, the team were on time, polite and friendly and I couldn't believe how quickly and efficiently they worked. They cleaned up after themselves at the end of every day and left the patio and garden hazard free for our dog! We are delighted with the end result, the craftsmanship is second to none. What a professional company, I would not hesitate to recommend them. Having worked with tradespeople frequently over the years, Graveltech are number 1. Well done and thank you.
