Driveway and Gate project
My driveway and gate project was completed on time and to a very high standard and as importantly at a very reasonable cost. The team at SM Contractors (Essex) Ltd were polite and left the project after completion in a clean and very professional manner. I would highly recommend SM Contractors (Essex) Ltd - absolutely first class.Verified reviewerJob location: CM7710 Block Paving

Stunning block pave steep drive rennovation
Shaun and his team completly transformed our driveway and it looks stunning. Very fast service, within a week to complete. Shaun talked through diffetent options, and was very accomodating with a last minute change to the plan adding sleepers which was a lot of extra work but not a problem. The team worked hard, long full days to get the work done and regularly checked in with us throughout the process. We were anxious about how it would all turn out as such a big job and uphill too, but the guys discussed everything. Very happy with our new drive and would'nt hesitate to recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: CM710 Block Paving

Great driveway
Sean and his team from start to finish worked tirelessly and professionally to produce a superb block paving driveway, Indian sand stone paths and patio. Nothing was too much trouble and any little things I wanted doing were carried without fuss. I have no hesitation in recommending S.M. contractors.Verified reviewerJob location: CM710 Block Paving
