Five star service from start to finish
When we decided to invest in 2 new patios and a new path across the garden, we engaged a number of companies to quote for the project. It was clear from the start that Hertfordshire Driveways were a friendly, helpful and highly professional outfit. Gary offered clear advice as we developed our requirements and plans. His communication throughout the process was excellent. Lee and the installation team were professional and courteous with an attention to detail that puts many others to shame. They were an absolute pleasure to have on site. Overall, I can’t recommend Hertfordshire Driveways highly enough and would not hesitate to use them again.

Fantastic service and quality drive
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.

Very speedy work in very cold conditions
This is the second time we have used this company which alone indicates our satisfaction with their workmanship, time keeping, cheerfulness and their desire to adhere to all aspects of the initial agreement from first visit to completion. A first class job.

Very pleased throughout
When we first contacted Gary at Hertfordshire Driveways we were impressed by his attitude towards our plan and how he was prepared to listen to us and use his experience to ensure that the final plan would meet our needs and specification. As for Lee and the installation team they arrived on time, worked hard and kept us fully updated with progress. Their attention to detail ensured we were happy at every stage. The finished driveway exceeded our expectations and was completed on time and on budget.

The Envy of the Neighbourhood!
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.

Fantastic job, would highly recommend
From start to finish, the whole team at Hertfordshire Driveways have been amazing. We had a resin bound driveway extension, a new garden patio and new turf. Gary was really good at helping us decide on all the details and throughout the whole process, communication has been excellent. 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.

Resin drive - Great job
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.

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.

Great driveway and patio rebuild
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.

Patio to the rear of our property
Many thanks, the patio is amazing, your guys worked so hard in really difficult conditions in the searing heat during the heatwave in July. Each day they left the area clean and tidy and once completed left no mess behind. They are a real credit to Hertfordshire Driveways and would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone. Please pass on our thanks to everyone involved. Btw the steps look great.

Great Work
Hertfordshire Driveways have just completed my shared driveway with my neighbour. Great communication all through the process with Gary and with the team onsite. Any queries regarding brick choices and layout were answered promptly and we were very pleased with the finished driveway.

New driveway and borders to flower beds
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.

New driveway
Our new driveway looks fantastic! I chose Hertfordshire Driveways based on the other reviews posted on Trusted Traders. Gary was my initial contact & he drew the plan, sent the quote through and booked the date for work to start. He is a very good communicator! We’ve had quite a lot of building work done and Gary’s communication skills set him apart from other people I’ve dealt with. Lee and his team took a week to lay the new driveway and they were all extremely hard working, professional & friendly.

Excellent work - professional and helpful
We are delighted with the block paving of our driveway and path. From the outset, Gary was very helpful when drawing up the design and making suggestions regarding design and materials. When Lee and his team arrived they kept us up to date with their progress and consulted us on specific details. Not only were they professional and hard-working but also very friendly and helpful - a wonderful team. The work was carried out to the agreed schedule and budget. We would highly recommend Hertfordshire Driveways.

New and extended drive with replaced side path
I choose Hertfordshire Driveway Ltd after getting 5 other quotes. The fact that they have the Which Trusted Trader accreditation sealed the deal. The planning was meticulous, the advice on the blocks was spot on and the attention to detail was second to none. The team did a fantastic job - the new drive and side path look great and add to the look of the house. Very pleased with the work!

New driveway, double skin wall, ramp side access and garden area.
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.

Very highly recommended
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.

Gary and his team laid a nice block paved driveway for us, supplied paperwork to help us with the approval from Letchworth Heritage Corp and managed the process professionally. The actual job only took a few days as they had a big team working on it. The whole thing was painless, recommended.

Blocked paved driveway/parking and recessed drain
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.

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!

Great Company. Great Team. Outstanding Work.
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!
