New drive.
I am very pleased with the Addaset, bound gravel, laid by Brett and the team. We had some minor delays due to the very poor spring weather. It was too cold and wet to lay the final layer. Overall the installation went very well. It was all dealt with in a professional and competent manner. I have no hesitation in recommending Design-a- Drive and would use them again.

Driveway surfacing.
Quite a challenging job given recent weather conditions and large surface area. Work done quickly and efficiently. Design-A-Drive can be recommended.

Permeable resin bound driveway in Lucerne silver border with chocolate buff centre.
So happy with the work done it looks fantastic! I had drainage issues with the old drive as it slops towards the house. I discussed this with Brett who came up with this resin bound permeable solution which was put to the test very quickly and it works great. I was already looking at a resin as an option, so once I saw Brett I contacted the manufacturer for advice as who the best company to use was and was advised by them that Brett from Design-A-Drive was an approved installer of their product and recommended him to me.

New drive way door step and new brick wall.
Great job well done! Bret and his crew did a great job doing our drive way after our old drive and wall after the wall started to lean over. We have the new cobble tech blocks done and it looks like coronation street now. I would recommend Design-A-Drive to any one. Hope to get them back to do our patio with the same blocks.

Replaced drive, patio and garden fence.
Brett and his team have produced very high quality work and were keen to provide us with exactly what we needed. They have been extremely professional in their work and we are very pleased with the outcome. It is clear to me that Brett takes great pride in his job and this is evident in his approach and the final product. I would recommend that you request a quote if you are considering having your drive replaced.
