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.

I had an excellent experience with this builder from start to finish. The communication was clear and consistent throughout the entire process, making sure I was always informed about the progress. Any questions or concerns I had were addressed quickly and professionally. The quality of the work was outstanding, with great attention to detail and a high standard of craftsmanship. Everything was completed on time, exactly as promised, and at a very fair price. It’s rare to find a builder who combines affordability with such a high level of skill and professionalism. What stood out most was their reliability and honesty. They showed up on time every day, worked efficiently, and made sure everything was left clean and tidy once the job was done. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled builder. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again in the future!

Overall excellent service. Very likeable down to earth service. fair price which is relaxed option to take up the work. No pressure. The work completed was very professional , excellent finish. The driveway is very level and added a new look to our property. Michael and the team are approachable. Any issues whilst work is undergoing they communicate this to you. We had a boundary with our neighbour Michael and the team explained all the options and a solution. Very patient , the work is quick and the team work extremely hard everyday they were here. The time keeping was excellent arrived early in the morning and didn't mess about they got straight to work. They grafted all day and we're very polite if they had any questions. The team were approachable to any minor changes in design. The team are very clean, they clean up after themselves not leaving any rubbish anywhere. The finished product was beyond expectation. Having a large bush with 40 year old roots was no issue for the team they removed them. The machinery used for the work is excellent The team work together to get the job. The time.scale Michael gives is excellent tand he is upfront about when the work will be done and when expected to be done. No nonsense straight to the point. Very relatable and the team are passionate about their work. High motivated and this is evident in the finished product. Highly recommended

Remove front overgrown garden & replace with block paving driveway. After haggling with Michael we agreed a fair price for block paving the front and both sides of our house. He turned up everyday with his men until the job was completed. He removed the overgrown garden at the front and trimmed the massive conifer trees at the rear. Because his workmanship was so good, I kept asking for extra work like 6ft fencing around the house, 13ftx8ft concrete base for our new shed etc which he did again at a fair price. Our house now looks like a £million house with the massive driveway for 10 cars!!! No joke!

Our garden was done by Stonemade drives 2 years ago. We had a small problem with a loose slab and they were round to fix it no problem. We would have no hesitation about recommending them to plan your garden. Cannot fault them on anything.

The guys who did the work were very polite and cleared up after themselves. 3 days total to complete and always checking in that I am happy with progress. Would highly recommend

Extremely professional company whilst still maintaining the family feel. The owners of the company provide design advice personally and explain the whole process and building materials to be used. The co-ordination of the whole project was seamless eg product delivered when said, rubble removed quickly and area fully cleaned and tidied at the end of every day. They come when they say and stay until the job is done. Very competitive pricing. Excellent hard-working polite professional workforce. Quality of workmanship we believe cannot be rivalled. Thoroughly recommend .

Fantastic company! Michael came and gave us a fair quote for what needed doing and they started work the following Monday. So we could have wheelchair access to the back garden his team took all the old gravel beds and pond out then covered the area with tarmac for a large drive wrapped around the front and side of our home. Honestly we couldnt be more happy with the work they did and the space we gained was worth it alone. The guys were really friendly chaps who went above and beyond laying my drive. G Spedding
