About Us
Tom and the team
We've been transforming Essex properties since 2018, growing from a local family business into the trusted team you see today. Most of our work still comes from recommendations - neighbours telling neighbours about our driveways, friends showing friends their new garden landscaping. That means everything to us.Being trusted locally drives us to keep learning and improving. When our customers started asking about resin driveways, we got properly trained and qualified so that our work stands the test of time. If it's going to make Essex homes better, we want to do it right.
