Customer Testimonials

“Absolutely thrilled with our new block paving driveway. The team at F&D were professional from start to finish. They laid a stunning charcoal herringbone pattern with a contrasting buff border. The whole job took just four days and the result is incredible — our neighbours have been asking for their details ever since!”

“Had our old crumbling concrete driveway replaced with fresh tarmac. The lads arrived on time, worked incredibly hard, and finished in just two days. The new surface is smooth, level, and looks really smart with the block paving edging they suggested. Great value for money — would highly recommend.”

“F&D completely transformed our tired back garden into a beautiful outdoor living space. They installed a porcelain patio, built raised sleeper beds, laid fresh turf, and even put in garden lighting. The design they came up with was exactly what we wanted — modern but warm. Cannot fault them at all.”

“We chose a golden amber resin bound driveway and it looks absolutely stunning. The surface is completely smooth, no loose stones at all, and it drains beautifully even in heavy rain. The team were tidy, polite, and finished exactly when they said they would. Five stars from us!”

“Had the entire garden re-fenced with closeboard fencing on concrete posts and gravel boards. The old fence had been blown down in the storms and F&D had the new one up within three days. Looks solid and neat. Only reason for four stars is we had to wait a couple of weeks for the start date, but worth the wait.”

“Our new Raj Green Indian sandstone driveway is the talk of the street. The natural colour variations in the stone are beautiful and it looks like it has always been there. The team took real care with the pointing and the whole job was completed in under a week. Superb craftsmanship.”

“Had a large Kandla Grey sandstone patio installed in our back garden with three steps down from the bifold doors. F&D also built a low retaining wall and planted some lovely shrubs around the border. The whole area has become our favourite place to sit in the evenings. Brilliant work.”

“Our new lawn looks like a bowling green! The team stripped the old patchy grass, levelled the ground properly, and laid beautiful fresh turf. They even gave us a detailed watering schedule to follow. Six weeks on and it is thick, green, and the children love playing on it. Thank you F&D!”

“I could not believe the difference after F&D cleaned and sealed our block paving. It had gone green with algae and weeds were growing everywhere. After the pressure wash and re-sanding, it looked brand new. The sealant has given it a lovely subtle sheen. Well worth every penny.”

“Fantastic composite decking installed by F&D. We went for a grey wood-grain finish and it looks amazing. They built the whole frame from scratch, added LED step lights, and fitted glass balustrades. It has completely transformed our garden — we use it every weekend now for barbecues.”

“Best decision we ever made for our garden. The artificial lawn F&D installed looks incredibly realistic — even my mum thought it was real! No more muddy paw prints from the dog, no more mowing, and it looks perfect all year round. The installation was neat and tidy, and they finished in just two days.”

“F&D installed a golden flint gravel driveway with a honeycomb grid system underneath. It looks smart and the gravel stays put even on the slight slope. They also put in a new block paving path to the front door. Good quality work at a reasonable price. Would use them again.”

“Second time using F&D — they did our front driveway three years ago and we have just had them back to do the rear patio in matching block paving. Consistent quality both times. The team leader really knows his stuff and takes pride in getting every block perfectly level. Top notch.”

“We had a complete garden makeover — new fencing, a composite deck area, Indian stone patio, artificial grass, and a lovely planted border. F&D managed the whole project seamlessly over two weeks. The design was creative and practical, and the team were friendly and respectful throughout. Our garden is now our favourite room!”

“Had a pattern imprinted concrete driveway done in an ashlar slate pattern with a charcoal colour. It looks absolutely fantastic — like real stone but at a fraction of the price. The team worked hard even in the rain to get it finished on schedule. Very impressed with the quality and attention to detail.”

“F&D built two retaining walls in our sloped garden using railway sleepers, creating lovely level terraces. They also laid turf on the upper level and installed a stone patio on the lower one. The garden has gone from unusable to absolutely beautiful. The quality of the sleeper work is superb.”

“Our tarmac driveway had several large cracks and a sunken area near the drain. F&D cut out the damaged sections, re-compacted the sub-base, and laid fresh tarmac that blends seamlessly with the existing surface. You genuinely cannot tell where the repairs were made. Saved us thousands compared to a full replacement.”

“We chose porcelain paving for our new patio and it was the best choice we could have made. F&D laid beautiful light grey 900x600 slabs in a stretcher bond pattern. The surface is non-slip, does not stain, and still looks as good as the day it was laid six months on. Professional installation throughout.”

“Had two large leylandii trees removed and the remaining hedge reduced in height by about four feet. The team worked safely and efficiently, and cleared away every last branch and leaf. The garden gets so much more light now. Good communication and fair pricing. Would recommend.”

“Our silver grey resin bound driveway looks absolutely stunning. We had it installed over our old cracked concrete and the transformation is unbelievable. The surface is perfectly smooth, drains beautifully, and the colour is gorgeous. F&D were brilliant — punctual, clean, and delivered exactly what they promised.”

“We moved into a property with a completely overgrown garden — you literally could not see the back fence. F&D cleared the entire plot in two days, removing brambles, old shrubs, a broken shed, and tons of green waste. The site was left clean, level, and ready for the landscaping phase. Brilliant service.”

“We had granite sett edging installed around our existing tarmac driveway and it has made such a difference. The dark grey setts contrast beautifully with the black tarmac and give the whole driveway a much more polished, finished look. Quick, tidy job — completed in a single day.”

“F&D installed a large L-shaped composite deck in our garden. The quality of the subframe is impressive — solid as a rock. They matched the deck colour to our window frames and added built-in LED spotlights. We have already hosted two dinner parties on it. Excellent workmanship.”

“Replaced our old concrete driveway with a beautiful tumbled block paving in autumn mix colours. F&D handled everything including the skip, drainage, and even moving our gate post. The project ran exactly to the quoted price and timeline. The finished driveway has genuinely transformed the front of our house.”

“Good solid tarmac driveway done at a fair price. The team were efficient and the finish is smooth and level. They added a nice red block paving apron at the entrance which gives it a more finished look. Would have been five stars but there was a slight delay getting the tarmac delivered on the first morning.”

“F&D created three beautiful planted borders for us with a mix of evergreen shrubs, ornamental grasses, and seasonal perennials. They prepared the soil with compost and laid bark mulch to finish. Four months on and everything is thriving — the garden has never looked so colourful. Really knowledgeable about plants too.”

“Had the back garden and a side strip done in artificial grass. The quality of the grass itself is superb — 37mm pile with a mix of green shades that looks very natural. F&D ensured the drainage was perfect and the joins are invisible. Our two young children love it and it saves us hours of mowing every month.”

“F&D replaced our entire rear and side boundary fencing — about 30 metres in total — with 6ft closeboard on concrete posts. They also built a lovely arched garden gate. The fence is solid, straight, and looks fantastic. The team even worked around our neighbour's greenhouse with great care. Excellent service.”

“Our builder left us with a muddy mess of a garden. F&D came in, rotovated and levelled the whole area, and laid fresh turf. The difference was immediate — from a building site to a beautiful green lawn in a single day. They even shaped the edges to create a nice curve against the border. Really pleased.”

“We cannot thank F&D enough for what they have done with our garden. From the initial design meeting to the final planting, every step was handled with care and professionalism. We now have a stunning patio, raised beds, a water feature, and beautiful lighting that makes the garden magical in the evenings. Worth every single penny.”
