"Sam and the team did a great job on laying new paving and removing old grass and laying turf for a new lawn. One area was not as I had hoped and Sam changed without issue and the finished job looks great, very pleased."

📍

Properly local

We're Mansfield born and based, laying driveways and patios across the town and out into Nottinghamshire. We know the local ground and how wet Nottinghamshire winters heave a badly-laid drive, so we dig deep, lay a proper sub-base and build them to last.

"Would highly recommend this company, Sam is lovely to deal with and he listens to everything. I wanted to be carried out over the moon with our new porcelain patio but nothing was too much hassle for him."

Common questions

If we haven't answered yours, just call - Sam or one of the team will help.

What driveway and patio surfaces do you install?
We install block paving, resin-bound and resin-bonded driveways, porcelain and natural stone patios, Indian sandstone, concrete and tarmac. On your free visit we'll talk through what suits your property and budget.
Is the quote really free? Will you pressure me to book?
Yes, completely free, with no hard sell. We give you a written quote and follow up once - that's it. Most of our customers compare three quotes; we're happy to be one of them.
Are you insured?
Yes - we carry full public liability and employer's liability insurance. We're happy to email a copy of the certificate before any work starts. Just ask.
What's covered by the 10-year guarantee?
All workmanship - meaning if your driveway or patio sinks, cracks or lifts because of how we laid it, we come back and put it right at no cost, for 10 years. Materials are covered separately by the manufacturer's warranty.
Do you dig up my old driveway first?
Usually yes. A long-lasting drive depends on a proper sub-base, so we excavate the old surface, lay and compact a fresh foundation, and sort drainage before the new surface goes down.
How long does a driveway or patio take?
Most domestic driveways take 3 to 7 days depending on size, surface and groundwork. Patios are often quicker. You get a clear timescale in your written quote before any work starts.
Do you work outside Mansfield?
Our core area is Mansfield, Newark-On-Trent, Retford, Worksop and surrounding villages across Nottinghamshire. We can occasionally take jobs further afield - best to call and check.
Do I need to pay anything up front?
No - you don't pay a penny up front. There's no deposit and no staged payments. You settle up only once the job is finished and you're completely happy with it.
