I was most impressed from start to finish with the business professionalism, courtesy and consideration shown by all members of the team. The block paving driveway installation and concrete pathway renewal work was completed to a very high standard, meeting the design, schedule and price agreed. The attention to detail at all stages was exemplary and the team was happy to discuss progress, plans and aftercare at any point. The team arrived at the agreed time each day and left the site clean and tidy at the end of daily work. Overall, it has been a pleasure to do business with Drive Doctor and I

Had small back garden done last year initially thought I knew what I wanted however after taking their advice and going for a different patio slab I was simply overwhelmed with the result! The attention to detail is second to none and the result is more than I could have ever imagined. I now have a garden that can be used ALL year round and I mean all year! Greg and his team done a fantastic job and I would not hesitate to recommend 10/10.

Drive Doctor is not the cheapest but it is the BEST. The team are super efficient, friendly and skilled. Minor alterations and suggestions during the build were taken on board without extra cost. Ours was a big build and they took it in their stride, completing to schedule. I highly recommend them.

Block paving of large drive.
Required block paving of large drive in excess of 100sqm suitable to be able to park a 5 ton motor home. Greg and is team excavated to a greater depth than normal and ensured the foundation was suitable for its intended use. The team were excellent. They were on time every day and the finished work is of a very high standard. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Drive Doctor.
