Total Driveways ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Tarmac Driveways, Block Paving & Resin Driveways Bournemouth, Poole & Dorset

I initially contacted Total Driveways on Monday 6th March, having planned to get quotes from 3 local contractors and they were one of a number I had loosely heard of in the Bournemouth area. Steve, who I later found out was the owner operator of Total Driveways, was more than happy to accommodate my request to meet with myself and my wife the following Saturday at our house.

Steve duly turned up exactly when he said he would, arriving in a white pick-up laden with transfers displaying his company name and the numerous awards his company had won which when speaking about he was rightfully proud of. During Steve visit to our property and listening carefully to all our requests, Steve provided samples and suggestions which we were very grateful for especially as up to that point in time we had considered employing the services of a landscape designer. In fact I had actually already made contact with one landscape designer but following Steves visit I took an independent decision to cancel, this later proved to be a great call and saved us almost one thousand pounds. After the meeting with Steve we felt fairly confident he was the person we wanted to deal with and after receiving a quotation from a second contractor plus the fact the third contractor failed to turn up at all, we decided to place the business with Steve.

Day one Steve turned up on time at 8:00am with his team of four and this theme continued over the entire two weeks at our property, not once did we get the usual contractor trick of starting the job and disappearing to another, something most of us have experienced at some point in their life but with this contractor I needn’t have been concerned because they were there as promised every day.

Our job involved quite a large patio in Porcelain slabs with block paving for the boarder and pathways in stone resin, in addition to this a fairly long dry stone wall at the end of our garden. I was slightly apprehensive how much of the mature lawn and garden of our 1930’s house would be disturbed with the digger etc, however we needn’t have been concerned because of the great care that was taken laying numerous boards to protect lawn and the tidiness of the work from day one immediately put our mind at rest, this attention to care continued through the entire job.

I particularly liked the level of communication, most days being asked if we were happy with how it was going along with the fact that Steves team we were always informed and up to date with the latest developments, even when we changed our mind on the Steve or his team. I can honestly say that having work done on your home could easily turn into a nightmare but our experience with Total Driveways was an absolute pleasure, each member of his team was friendly & approachable which must say quite a lot about the company they work for.

On the important subject of money, Total Driveways provided us with a very competitive quote and they did exactly as promised, coming in on budget despite the extras and ‘can you just’ that we asked for along the way. One example of the extras we requested was carrying out a relocation of plants & bushes around the garden, this was a lovely touch and something we certainly didn’t expect to be included, they even re-laid several stepping stones which tied in with the new patio and made good areas not quoted for, we were delighted when none of this affected the price we had agreed.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Total Driveways, Steve, Eric, Tom, Nigel & Tim they are highly skilled professionals with a great work ethic and the desire to exceed your expectations. I couldn’t be happier with my choice of contractor and the quality of the work carried out because my patio, paths & wall look amazing, it’s rare in today’s world that anyone surprises me with their service but this is a fine example and we are extremely grateful for the excellent service we received.

Steve and his team did a brilliant job in landscaping my garden. This included a number of circles and curves along with a large patio area. They worked with me to improve my original design and turned it into something far better than I thought would be possible. Very professional and thorough in their approach. Really obvious these guys take great care with what they do which is presumably why they have such a great reputation. More than happy to recommend and will gladly have them back for any future work. Thanks again. Highly recommended. More...

Total Driveways transformed an ancient and decrepit 280m gravel drive into a smart tarmac lane over the period of a week or so in 2016. Nearly three years on I am still very pleased with the result. Total Driveways took on board my various requirements for an increased thickness of asphalt, some specific drainage requirements, and desire to be directly involved with the work, willingly. There were a few minor mishaps along the way, as there always is in any job, which were all corrected, and the end result has proven itself to be well worth it. The cost was reasonable, and I would definitely recommend them Total Driveways Total Driveways More...

Choosing a Company to undertake work to patios and driveways exposes you to all kinds of spurious people, many of whom are clearly not going to do the job right. Total Driveways came to quote and from the first quotation visit to the completion of the job I just knew we had made the right choice. The completed job looks fantastic, everything I expected it to be, Phil and his team updated us at all times what they were doing and nothing was too much trouble. I would wholeheartedly recommend this Company to undertake any work you require doing to your drive or patio.
Well done to all the team!!
