Gary, Lee and the team did a great job from start to finish. When quoting, Gary was punctual, efficient and polite, we received the quote when promised, along with multiple pictures of similar projects that Hertfordshire Driveways have completed. Work started as agreed and the team were friendly and polite, they worked incredibly hard in dreadful weather and we're delighted with the finished patio.

We're very happy with the work done by Hertfordshire Driveways from the inital survey and quote through to the installation and finish. Communication was timely and clear and our questions answered fully. The work was done to a high standard and finished much more quickly than we anticipated. We changed our minds on an element of the final design which Karl replaced with good will minimal fuss. Would definitely re7commend this company.

We had our drive rebuilt and an adjoining path and fence. The work was really well organised, was completed in a pleasingly short time and all to the quoted budget. They are a thoroughly professional company, right from Gary with the quote and site drawings/plans to Lee and his team on site. All really helpful and really nice people. They use quality materials and do not skimp on the construction. Plus they guarantee their work. We would definitely recommend them.

From the first phone call & meeting with Gary who arrived as arranged & spot on time we knew instantly that we were dealing with a professional driveway company. The driveway installation & design was not easy due to our own very specific requirements, land layout & walls needed. For Gary no issue was too big or too much trouble to resolve, he went above & beyond, providing professional advice & finding solutions at every twist & turn! He was always easy to contact & truly committed to providing an excellent, extremely efficient customer service, something it seems is hard to find these days. Gary made a sometimes-complicated situation a dream to resolve! The plans provided by him were always well-designed & easy to interpret. Updated plans were returned extremely quickly, including our last-minute change of mind on paving block. On the day of install Lee & crew turned up on time, making sure before starting that we were all on the same page. These guys were truly professional, easy to deal with & worked extremely hard, even ploughing on through very heavy downpours. Throughout install, communication was maintained & site left tidy at the end of each day. Aftercare is top-notch, minor snagging done quickly, without hassle & all work carried out to timescale & budget. We are really pleased with the finished product & service provided by Hertfordshire Driveways Ltd. A number of people have commented how good it looks & we would happily recommend them to anyone who asks.

From start to finish, the service provided by Gary, Lee and the boys was top notch. Gary provided professional advice on costing and general design communicating everything meticulously. A detailed drawing was provided to ensure we were both on the same page before work commenced. It definitely gave us piece of mind. Once a start date had been agreed, Lee and the boys were round at 0800 on the dot ready to start. Throughout the week they worked their socks off. They were organised, communicative and a genuine bunch of decent blokes. Lee kept me informed each day on what was being worked on and when each phase would be completed. The boys did a brilliant job and we are both very happy with our new drive. Personally speaking, getting reliable and skilled tradesmen seems to be a little 'hit and miss' these days which can make these experiences fraught with anxiety. This experience was the complete opposite of that and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Hertfordshire Driveways.

Gary, Lee and the team at Hertfordshire Driveways have just completed two major projects for us in a two week period. From design to the actual build they have been excellent throughout. They work hard, clean up and consult with you all the way through the build if there are any unforeseen issues. The quality of their work is first class and they also provided tips on maintenance of both areas which is extremely helpful. This has been a great investment and a pleasure working Hertfordshire Driveways.

Chose to use Hertfordshire Driveways Limited on a recommendation and I could not be happier with the choice. Our driveway used to be awful gravel and was falling apart. We got Gary in for a quote and he ran us through all the options and was always on the end of the phone for our questions. He could not have been more helpful. The install team was also incredible. Always helpful, professional and polite. The driveway was completed and we are so pleased with the outcome. We went from having a driveway that stressed us out to use to a brand new, beautiful driveway that now gives us more space and gives our house a much better look too. Anyone looking for a new driveway should look no further than Hertfordshire Driveways Limited

Hertfordshire driveways replaced our old driveway with a new block drive about three years ago. Communication with Gary was great, especially in understanding what we wanted. The installation team led by Lee then delivered perfectly. The quality of the their work has stood up well. More recently, we needed a modification to the drive associated with other works we have planned. Choosing a known reliable trader that cares about getting the work done right for the customer made choosing the same team again easy.

The trader replied (on 15/05/2023)
Please accept my sincere apology. The information stated in the above review is totally correct. That is exactly what happened. This is a very rare, and unfortunate occurrence. It was a genuine clerical error at my end. For reasons I can not explain, I somehow neglected to transfer the second (re-appointed) survey date and time into my appointment diary. This of course does not alter from the fact that you were expecting me to attend your premises at the re-arranged time, only to be left waiting. If I can be of any help in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me, and again, I apologise for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards, Gary Hertfordshire Driveways Ltd

We used to have the worst drive on the street, now we have people stopping us to compliment how amazing it looks. I found this business on Google. It’s always nerve racking to trust strangers to do work on your property, but I’m so glad we found them. Everything has been done at a professional level. Thank you to everyone involved.

Hertfordshire Driveway Ltd are one of the best companies I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. From the first time we called Gary, his customer service has been second to none. He did the survey and gave us some great advice and ideas with his experience and professional approach. He outlined the whole project and was transparent throughout when it came to the costs and the final outcome of the job. The onsite team lead by Lee were also exceptional. They communicated with us throughout the project to ensure we were happy with the decisions they made. Our driveway has been absolutely transformed from an awful area we never wanted to drive on ever again to something that is now a pleasure to park on. Not only that, but the quality materials and new wall that has been put in has totally transformed the look of our house. I could not recommend this company enough. They were so easy to deal with and their help and support throughout the project was incredible. If you want a brilliant new driveway done by a professional and friendly team at a great price, these are your guys!

We arranged a quote with Gary, Hertfordshire Driveway LTD. This was done very professionally and within a few weeks it was arranged our front drive would be done. I was sent a picture to check before, all the time being informed with dates and times. On the day, on time the team arrived and started and they worked so hard and fast, we were amazed. Gary popped by to check with the team all was going ok, and the team were very friendly helpful and mostly hard working with tea supplied obviously. I would definitely recommend, and we are thinking of other jobs in the future. 100% recommend and I would have no issues using again. Thank you Gary and your team!

Gary met me at the agreed time and assessed my requirements for the area to be paved and the need to take care as work was next to a public right of way. I received a quote same day with a follow-up call/discussion the following morning. Agreed timescale for work to commence in a couple of months time and would take 2.5 to 5 days depending on how many worked on the project. However, after agreeing the timescale, Gary managed to fit the work in earlier between a couple of other jobs which was great. Lee arrived with his colleagues and after discussing a few changes, the work was completed in 3 days. Great communication from Gary and Lee. Always punctual and left the site tidier than when arrived. Couldn't ask for more.

Work done: patio, pathways, stepping stones & entranceway. Gary ensured everything was planned out in great detail, including placed work, budget and timescales, with several visits & phone calls, and detailed drawings. Lee and his colleagues came on the planned days and carried out the work exactly as planned, ensuring they confirmed our requirements every step of the way. Timescale and budget were adhered to. We had some very detailed and specific requirements, which they ensured were met. Everyone was polite, considerate, helpful, communicative and they went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the work. They cleaned up so well that you can't even tell they've been (apart from the beautiful patio and paths). And the photos speak for themselves - the quality of the work is excellent. We can't thank Gary, Lee and colleagues enough. We're now recommending them to all our friends.

After contacting Gary, a booking was made promptly. He was professional, listened to our ideas, wasn't selling an idea or had any agenda and worked with us to figure out the best way to achieve what we wanted. After a second meeting where he took more precise measurements, we got a hand-drawn scale drawing of the project. At no point were we waiting a long time for anything and communication was great throughout. He will most likely be the slightly more expensive quote, but it is more than worth it. We got exactly what we were after. Our project was brought forward by 2 months due to another job being pushed post new year. Despite the fact that they had maybe a weeks notice max, all materials were available when needed and there were no delays whatsoever. Nothing was too much trouble. He had plenty of pictures and videos of past work to give a good idea of what materials/colours would work best. For the actual work, Lee and his team were outstanding. Can't say a bad word about any of them. Lee, Carlos, Pedro and the rest (sorry I forgot your names!) were a pleasure to have around. Again, nothing was too much trouble, they kept us updated of progress, got our opinions on how best to do certain things and were on time every day and left the area tidy each evening. We now have a block paved driveway, a beautiful retaining wall and ramp access to a side door for motorcycle use. 10 times better than anything we imagined and will use them again in a heartbeat. Cheers all.

Gary, my initial contact, listened to what was required, made suggestions and we agreed a plan. I was in the middle of other building works so Gary was flexible on start dates which was much appreciated. Communication was always good and when the work commenced, Gary ensured I did a walk around with Lee who was coordinating the work. This was useful as we could discuss minor points. The work took just under 3 days with 5 workers for most of the middle day, meaning the work was completed faster than expected. They removed a few plants that were in the way and I have been able to replant. They also seemed to do quite a bit of weeding which was a surprise! I had a load of huge boulders that they took away. In fact, they left one, but I was really happy to see it had gone when they came to collect the last equipment. The workmen were punctual, polite and nothing was too much trouble. The arrival of lorries and materials seemed very efficient. We have a shared part to our drive and the men were considerate to our neighbours. Overall, I am really pleased with the work and have already been asked who carried out the work by a village resident looking to have work done.

I engaged Hertfordshire Driveways after comparing with 2 other companies and am very pleased I did. Great first impression from Gary who understood what I was trying to achieve and helped me shape that vision. Subsequently, they have shown complete willingness to be flexible to accommodate changes. Very good liaison with me throughout, realistic timescale from outset on when work could be undertaken and they delivered to that. Very happy with the handover to site manager Lee on the day work commenced. As for the work it has been first-rate. The driveway was largely completed in 2 days and the whole project, which included difficult rear garden access and much construction, was completed within the promised timescale of 5 days. Very hard working team with sometimes up to 6 on-site, and all well-coordinated and with external providers as well such as for the removal of 20 tons of spoil. I particularly liked and appreciated the attention to detail throughout the work. In particular, time was taken on the last day to ensure everything was finished off well, not rushed, and to my complete satisfaction and everything was left very neat and tidy. The result is an impressive driveway and patio work with neighbours commenting on what a good job done and how well and efficiently carried out. I would certainly recommend Hertfordshire Driveways and have had a great experience with them on my project.

Hertfordshire Driveways- New drive and patio

We contacted Hertfordshire Driveways after seeing their sign locally and recommendations on a local Facebook page as we wanted a new block paving driveway and patio to the back garden. From the very first contact to completion of the work the experience has been first class. Gary visited on a number of occasions from our first contact to the commencement of work. A consultative approach supported the design for the work, offering ideas that supported the final design. The quote was broadly comparable with other quotes (one difference was that we had a full breakdown of different elements that helped make an informed decision) and it was the relationship and first impression that swayed our final decision. Lee and team arrived as agreed on the 14th June to start work and did an absolutely fantastic job. The team worked like trojans in challenging weather and have given us a fantastic new drive and patio which has surpassed our expectations. Good and regular communication with Gary and Lee (and team) when completing the works. From start to finish the experience has been first class and we are delighted with the end result and would recommend Hertfordshire Driveways to others.

Gary and his team laid a resin drive for us, with edging and kerbs, and we were very pleased with the end product. Before the work, he talked us through the process and discussed our ideas before drawing up a detailed plan and checking we were happy with it at every stage. The work could only be done in the right weather conditions (no rain, not too cold, so the resin could cure), and he kept in regular contact as we waited for the right week. Then the actual work was done in a week, with a team on-site working hard every day. They encountered a few unexpected hiccoughs when breaking up the concrete, but they adapted and resolved the issues without any fuss. Communication was excellent throughout - recommended.

When Lee and the team started the job, they arrived on time and we were amazed at how hard they worked and the amount they got done on the first day. Throughout the whole project, all the team were professional, polite and always happy to answer any questions we had. Carlos and Pete were here every day and didn’t stop, I think they only took a short break mid-morning each day, so they must have been exhausted. Our neighbours even commented how friendly and hard working they were! What really impressed me is the attention to detail. At every step, they really seemed to care about doing a top-quality job and always asked how we’d like something done. On the last day, they thoroughly cleaned up and even cleaned our neighbour's driveway too. We have been really impressed with Hertfordshire Driveways and would highly recommend them.

We decided to use Hertfordshire Driveways Ltd because we saw a driveway they had completed in Stevenage Old Town. Following a chat with the owner of the house, who was very happy with their work, we decided to get a quote for the replacement of our front driveway and rear garden patio. Gary made the selection of the various materials easy so that we had a style and finish to suit our personal taste. Lee, Carlos and Pedro arrived to do the work. They were always on time, hard-working and no problem to have around the house. Any minor changes, we required as the work progressed were easily dwell with. We are very impressed with the quality and look of the finished product, which has caused a lot of interest in the neighbourhood. A number of our neighbours have expressed how good it looks, in terms of finish and style, and a few have wanted a look at the back garden patio as well. We took a while to decide on what type of drive we wanted and what company we would use. We know we made good choices all round - we can recommend Hertfordshire Driveways Ltd without any hesitation.

We were very cautious when it came to choosing a company to do our driveway as you hear lots of horror stories! However, when Gary came to give a quote we knew from the start that we were going to use Hertfordshire Driveways and we are very glad we did! Gary was not pushy at all and brought many ideas and advice for designing our driveway. The team was able to start the job sooner than we expected which was excellent as they knew we were keen to get it done before heading into the winter. We couldn't believe how hard working Lee and his team were, passer-by's are still commenting to us now on how dedicated they all were and how much progression they made in such a short time. The drive has completely transformed the front appearance of our house and we couldn't be happier. We would highly recommend Hertfordshire Driveways, as they were such a reliable, hard working and friendly team based locally.

Hertfordshire Driveways paved my driveway with Marshall blocks right up to the front door including a new manhole cover and a drain. I was very impressed with the speed and efficiency with which they worked. The job was completed on time and on (very reasonable) budget. Lee and his entire team handled the work as though it was a military operation. Great attention to detail, the finished result looks very good indeed, they thoroughly deserve their glowing reviews. I recommend them without reservation.

Resurface small driveway with Marshalls Tegula block paving

Gary, came to our house to inspect the job. He explained the potential issues with the work and he offered us several choices for the resurfacing. Gary came back a second time with some samples and he was always quick to respond to WhatsApp messages and emails. He produced a sketch plan and a quote. The quote was not the cheapest we had but we were willing to pay a bit more for a quality service from an experienced and accredited company. Videos and pictures of previous jobs helped to convince us. We believe that Gary gave us good advice. The job started on the agreed date and the building team is lead by Gary's colleague, Lee. Lee is very practical and obviously has a lot of experience. The team broke up the existing tarmac drive with a mini-digger and a contrator came and removed the debris within two hours. Lee consulted with us to check that we agreed the plans and pattern of the blocks. The majority of the blocks were laid on that first day and the job was finished by the afternoon of the second day. Our drive is only small at about 25sqm. There are trees adjacent to our drive and the HDL team were very careful not to damage them in any way. We were pleased with the time Gary took to introduce his Company and explain the options and pricing. The building team were professional and friendly. Communications were good throughout.

I cannot praise Hertfordshire Driveways Ltd highly enough. From start to finish they did a terrific job, easily on time and on budget. From early design involving several visits in person, with excellent planning and drawing to meet the needs of Letchworth Heritage Foundation (ours is a 'home of special interest in Letchworth's 'heritage area') we had a first-class service and faultless communications. Once underway, the men worked tirelessly and were considerate and most helpful - nothing was too much trouble and the attention they paid to detail was amazing. If ever I had work of a similar nature to do in the future, i would definitely re-engage Hertfordshire Driveways. I highly recommend them - our driveway has been transformed and all we have to do now is plant up the newly made flower beds.

I would recommend Hertfordshire Driveways Ltd in a heartbeat. From start to finish the process was very smooth. Gary’s service from quoting and measuring was fantastic and I really valued the opinions and expertise shared so we could make the best decisions. The resin itself used was of high quality and layed perfectly so to ensure adequate drainage can be found. The look and feel is fantastic. Lee, Carl and team were top drawer on the installation and kept the site clean and clear for traffic. Very very happy. Thank you so much

Gary at Hertfordshire Driveways did a great job for us with good advice and assistance in choosing the right product at a competitive price.

We are very satisfied with Hertfordshire Driveways and the paving they have installed. After contacting the company Gary surveyed the property and helped us to make decisions about what would be appropriate. He visited a number of times to ensure that he had accurately interpreted our requirements. He offered a detailed plan and a breakdown of the costs. The quotation was the most competitive of the four companies approached. The team started the work on schedule and worked extremely hard. The guys on site were always friendly and polite and responded to any requests for changes as the work progressed. The work was carried out over four days of solid work and we are very happy with the quality. The site was left clean and tidy. Lee came the following day to make some finishing touches and check we were happy. All in all we are very satisfied with the results.

Just a few lines to say how pleased I am upon the completion of the paving of my frontage. My family, friends, neighbours and numerous passers-by have commented on how nice it all looks. It shows what can be achieved when a client/ contractor partnership works well. Many thanks to Gary for the assistance at the concept and design stage, and also to Lee and his crew for the interpretation and skillful construction work to make the scheme a reality.

New Resin Driveway

Initially I was a little concerned as Herts Drives has very little online presence, but I decided to give them a chance and get Gary and team to quote. I found their quotation very reasonable and their method including working up scale drawings to be incredibly thorough. There are not a huge number of drive companies offering resin and after much research I knew it was what I wanted without paying over the odds for this premium product. The team turned up exactly when expected and were hard-working and courteous. They were clear each step of the way what they were doing and what decision making would be needed to get me the drive I wanted. They were clearly highly skilled and experienced. I have already received many compliments on my new drive, and it has really completed my house renovation. I look forward to many years of use on my new drive, and I don't foresee there being any problems as it is wonderfully done and very low maintenance. However, having the 5 year guarantee is great for my peace of mind.

We had asked Gary and his team for a quote to pavine the forecourt of our semi-detached house (previously tarmacced) and to replace patio paving at the rear (including rebuilding retaining wall). From the first visit to give an estimate, to the 2-hour site visit to draw up scale plans and agree materials for the work, and the actual onsite construction work, the job was completed to the specification and a day less than was estimated for the work. As soon as the guys arrived on site they got cracking and worked hard all day - no apparent lunch breaks and they even worked on a very hot Saturday morning. They also washed up their coffee cups when we weren't around - a little thing, but it says a lot about their approach to providing customer satisfaction. Unlikely to be the cheapest suppliers for the work, but we were paying for reliability, professionalism, quality and speed of completion which we believe we've received in full.

Gary spent a long time with me discussing my options, drawing up detailed plans, and providing quotes for a number of paving materials to choose from. Absolutely no pressure. He worked hard to get a date for the work that fitted with my own schedule. Lee and his team of installers were very professional and experienced, working as a well oiled team. Very efficient and friendly, and happy to answer questions, although I didn't have many as their expertise was clear and they kept me involved with any decisions that needed making. The end product was way above my expectations, and completed well inside the agreed timescale whilst delivering a high quality job. Everything was left clean and tidy when the work was complete.

Hertfordshire Driveways were excellent in every way, from the detailed quotation by Gary for the agreed work, for the new driveway. On the arranged day for the commencement of the installation which was supervised by Lee and his installation team, one could not fault the standard of work, which was completed on time. It did not matter that there was some light rain on the second day, they just carried on working and finished the installation as promised on the 3rd day.

From the plans being drawn up expertly by Gary, with instructions on the process and transparent pricing. To the installation lead by Lee and his hardworking team, the whole process was an utter pleasure and I truly wish more companies were like these guys. Everything was to schedule and budget. They think of the smallest details, go out of their way to deliver an impeccable service. And are the happiest, politest and friendliest bunch I have ever come across, not many would stop what they were doing to help you in with your shopping! The job is so good we have had people from streets away coming up asking who installed our drive, all our neighbours are also extremely impressed and full of compliments. I wish they did other building work as they would be the only company I ever used! And I cannot stop smiling at how fabulous my drive and back garden looks! Thank you guys!

Having moved to a new build the front of the house was left as an uninspirational gravelled area. Gary took on board our ideas before coming up with a detailed drawing. It was great being able to compare the different paving samples before we made our final decision. Lee and the team worked efficiently, keeping the area clean and tidy and were respectful of our neighbours. The quality of the work is outstanding and we couldn't be happier with the finished result.

We have been really pleased with our experience of Hertfordshire Driveways. They built our patio last year and, from that experience, we wanted them to upgrade our driveway this year. The whole process from design through to implementation was very well managed and we have had a lot of compliments about our drive. We had one small issue with the finished look but they were exceptionally quick at putting it right, with no quibbling. We felt we got exactly what we wanted. They are probably not the cheapest installer but we felt the price was worth the peace of mind and the delivery of a great product.

Having had bad experiences in the past we were very wary undertaking the massive task of renewing our old and tired driveway. We had several quotes and so happy that we opted for Hertfordshire Driveways. I can’t recommend Hertfordshire Driveways highly enough. From the moment We first spoke to Gary, to him coming to quote for the job, we were impressed with the quality of customer service. He listened to our requirements and was not pushy leaving it entirely up to us to decide if we wanted to proceed - we were not put under any pressure at all. Gary showed us samples of various bricks we had seen the the brochure and helped us with the design. A final start date was agreed and Lee and his team turned up on time as anticipated. They were polite and friendly and completed the job efficiently, overcoming any unforeseen issues and kept the area tidy throughout. The attention to detail was first class. We are so pleased with our driveway, and have had so many comments on the quality of the work and design. We would not hesitate in using Hertfordshire Driveways for future projects ie patio, artificial lawn.

We recommend Gary and his team @ Hertfordshire Driveways Ltd with the strongest possible endorsement. They built a garden patio and planting area for our back garden and were incredibly meticulous. The planning was excellent, they were always on time with all aspects of the work and actually completed it with a quality that was beyond our expectations. They even came back to us proactively to highlight that some of the quoted work was not required and therefore the total bill would be less! Gary and colleagues were friendly but never intrusive. After finishing the job, they cleared all building mess so that no work was required by us to clean after them - they even made our front driveway look better. There were no issues whatsoever with the work undertaken and we are delighted to recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, friendly and cost effective job!

Our house was knocked down and rebuilt over a 2 year period. Consequently the front drive took the brunt of the renovation it was in a really bad state. It was a carriage driveway which needed digging up with a complicated drainage system being as it was a large area sloping down towards the house. We had several meetings with Gary who meticulously drew the plans for our approval. I had no concerns about deliveries because they were always on site managing everything - I cannot stress enough how professional and what an amazing job they did. The transformed my front drive.

I had my front garden landscaped to include a sizeable area of block paving, with the creation of new borders and an area of decorative Cotswold stone. The end result surpassed my expectations and was completed within the suggested timescale and the team left the area completely clean and tidy. Throughout the works, which took 4 days, the team were friendly, polite and very helpful. They worked very hard in very hot conditions and the quality of their work couldn't be faulted.
