Benefits of an Asphalt Driveway

TarmacBy admin July 7, 2017

When the idea of having your driveway redesigned and new one put in its place springs to mind, we automatically tend to think about concrete or pavers as an immediate material choice- however there are actually a whole range of choices available. In this blog, the team here at Stone Made Drives are going to…

Michael and the team did an amazing job. The driveway looks incredible. The work was done quickly and to the highest level of quality, and with full consideration of the neighbours throughout. This included going above and beyond to replace some fence panels. The team also kindly returned the next day to make tweaks to the design where requested and finish the sand installation. Couldn't be happier with the driveway and I would recommend Stone Made Driveways to everyone!

Michael and his team has just finished a job for my partners daughter in Salford. When he had finished the snagging which I was extremely surprised ONLY took an hour to complete. The snagging even Michael admitted was minor took a 4 star job to another level completely. I'm only sorry I can only give 5 stars. The reason why I say this is simple. The standard of workmanship and the level of professionalism makes Michael and his team stand out way above ALL others . I have been a highly seasoned engineer in construction for over 30 years. I have the opportunity to see workmanship at all levels and the level of service, respectfulness, and duty of care that Michael AND his team possess has definitely NOT gone unnoticed. My partner who suffers from OCD agrees 100%. All we can say is Michael, recognition for your work is very deserving. To put it another way I can count on one hand through having 30 years experience in construction I can honestly walk away from a finished job not thinking some part of it could have bee done better. If I were to have any criticism if you had picked up on the snagging without me, my partner or my partners daughter having to do so, and I know that it isn't always possible then I would have asked if I could give 10 stars. But it doesn't matter as you WILL be contacted in the near future to do my partners house especially now we know you're an approved paving contractor for tobermore. Thanks again Michael for doing an outstanding job. Please tell your employees also how satisfied we are

I would highly recommend Michael and his team who have just completed a significant amount of work for us, replacing an old concrete driveway with a beautiful new block paved one, removing some trees, relaying two grassed areas, planting a laurel hedge, repointing a patio and sealing it. From start to finish Michael has been extremely professional and helpful with his advice and guidance. All work has been completed to a very high standard by his excellent and efficient team, who always cleaned up after themselves. During the project work had to be delayed due to the installation of fibre cables and Michael was extremely understanding and I thank him for his patience. We have no complaints at all, and a special shout out to the gentleman who did the block paving who must be one of the best in the business.

Qualty. Professional. Worry-free. Trust-worthy. Michael & his team did a fantastic job installing drains & fixing my driveway. It looks brand new! Before finding Michael, I had a poor experience with a different company. Leaving me worried about the work they had done & potential long term damage to my home. It was clear I needed to remove their work & still resolve my original issue. I requested a quote from Michael to resolve the issue & I just wish I had found him in the first place. He was very professional, communicated well & was sympathetic to my situation which put me at ease. The work is topnotch & I couldn't recommend him more!

Stone Made Driveways did a brilliant job doing my driveway and garden, we went with block paving and all the workers were respectful and kind. Michael offered great advice on block type, colours and the type of drive to put down. He also replaced my garden fence and gate in the price. All in all it took 4 days of work. All done to a great standard. Highly recommend.

Just had my drive and paths completed by Michael and his team from Stone Made Driveways today. The whole process was superlative from the start. Michael turned up on time for the estimate and gave us valuable advice which made us change our choice from tarmac to block paving. His quote was not the cheapest or most expensive but my partner and myself felt that Michael came over the best out of all the others who we got to quote for us. The team were fantastic and did not waste a minute of the day. They worked under extremely challenging weather conditions, didn’t complain and were very polite and respectful.I am truly amazed that they completed the all work in only three days. The end results are better than I could have ever dreamt of as can be seen from the before and after pictures. I’m so happy with the result and I can’t wait to start using the new drive. I think it’s added more value to our home and has totally transformed the whole look of the property. I would have no hesitation in using Michaels services again.

Wow! What a quick, efficient, reliable, and well priced job. Michael was amazing and so knowledgeable. Gave me a good range of options for the driveway, explained the cost of each option, and then explained exactly what needed to be done. Went above and beyond. Even in rain and snow, everything was always kept neat and tidy. The finished driveway is stunning and we couldn't be happier. I wouldn't use anyone else and can't recommend his work enough. Thanks so much.

We contacted Stone Made Driveways following poor work by another company which had left dips in the drive and levelling which left the drive unusable. Michael was extremely professional throughout, explained where the issues had been caused, completed a thorough check of previous work and fixed the issues to an extremely high standard. Michael’s communication and professionalism was exemplary throughout, even sending us videos whilst we were at work to show the progress and explain what they were doing and why. The job was completed on time, left clean and tidy at all times and Michael insisted we were happy with the work completed before we paid. They completed the job to an excellent standard with integrity which is rarely found these days, we would use them for any future work and would highly recommend them.

I’ve Just had my front lawn replaced with block paving this week by Michael and his team at stone made driveways. I only got a same day quote from them last week and they started just a week later and had the lawn up and driveway installed in just 2 days. Some of my old driveway was also repaired and an inspection cover replaced. The team didn’t stop work from start to finish and the end result looks great. I’d highly recommend if your considering a new driveway.
