2Verified ReviewI am very disappointed with this company, from the day one they were very unprofessional in the excavation works when begin, very hesitate in what to do and what not to do, They were demanding for first part of payment on the first day, as I was becoming concerned with their attitude and work. I went for Tarmac and cobblestone, but the cobblestone I chose from their website it was dull and different, but they assured me it was the same, but later it became discoloured and it's not the actual cobblestone it's made from concrete, Poor workmanship, gaps, uneven,also the tarmac. Not to be trusted

8Verified ReviewMartin did a great job with the driveway. The finish is both clean and neat. Communication could have been improved however, as the job was unable to be completed due to weather conditions in the time frame committed. This caused issue as we had communicated a planned holiday and were assured the job would be completed prior to leaving. However this was unable to be the case and we had to see the final job via photos rather than in person, which wasn’t the most ideal. Overall workmanship completed to a high standard once we got back.
