Who we are

A Coventry contracting team that treats the base as carefully as the finish.

Most driveways and patios fail from the bottom up — poor excavation, a thin sub-base, no thought given to where the water goes. We work the other way round. Every job starts with proper dig-out, compacted stone, considered falls and drainage, so the surface you see still looks right in ten years.

From a full driveway replacement to a set of front steps or a morning of handyman jobs, the same standard applies: clear pricing, agreed dates, and a clean site when we leave.

What we do

Services

01

Driveways

Block paving, resin-bound, tarmac and gravel driveways — dug out to depth, laid on a compacted MOT sub-base with proper edge restraints and permeable drainage.

02

Paving & slabbing

Porcelain, Indian sandstone, concrete and natural stone patios. Full-bed laying, tight consistent joints, correct falls away from the property.

03

Steps & entrances

Front and garden steps, thresholds, retaining walls and pillars. Even risers, bullnose treads and slip-resistant finishes that lift the front of the house.

04

Groundworks

Excavation, muck-away, hardcore and sub-bases, concrete bases and slabs, drainage runs, soakaways, channel drains and inspection chambers.

05

Handyman projects

The list that never gets done — fencing, decking repairs, gates, small brickwork, pointing, fixings, jet-washing and general property maintenance.

06

Repairs & restoration

Sunken paving relaid, cracked slabs replaced, re-pointing, re-levelling and cleaning and sealing to bring tired surfaces back to life.
