Absolute scammers. They are liars and frauds who not only bodged my driveway and many, many others with substandard materials and inferior work but actually urinated and defecated in the garden and left it there! It seems they have removed their Google reviews due to the high negative feedback and the suspiciously positive ones on here have a familiar family/friend vibe which is exactly what they did on Google by getting their kin to hide bad reviews with their own dubious 5 star ones so watch out for that. Creative have a history of moving their fake addresses when litigation letters arrive. The address is simply a PO box usually in a storage facility until they get rumbled and are asked to leave. They actually live on a traveller site in another town along with a few other driveway companies that plaster their signs around the area. Litigation is pointless because they are travellers and they are evasive. They scam, take your money and never return. They also attempt intimidation if you complain. Ignore their Trustatrader reviews as you can buy yourself on that shoddy site as others have commented. BE WARNED! More...

THIS IS THE ROGUE TRADER YO AVOID !
Driveway ‘cowboys’ given suspended jail terms
Cllr Rupert Simmons A PAIR of dodgy driveway dealers who targeted residents in East Sussex have been handed suspended jail terms.
MILES DELANEY and JONNY ROONEY, trading as Everlast Driveways, ‘cold called’ householders in Plumpton Green, near Lewes, offering to block-pave their driveways.
But while some residents were happy with the work, others complained they were hit with additional charges for things they were initially led to believe were part of the contract.
Delaney, 23, of Green Lane, Shipley Bridge, Horley, Surrey, and Rooney, 24, of Weald Street, Bampton, Oxfordshire, were prosecuted following an investigation by East Sussex Trading Standards and admitted participating in a fraudulent business.
In a hearing at Hove Crown Court, they were each given a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, and ordered to carry out 150 hours’ unpaid work.
They were also each ordered to pay £1,625 in compensation to their victims and £1,000 court costs.
Cllr Rupert Simmons, East Sussex County Council lead member for economy, said: “This case highlights how important it is for residents to be extremely cautious when dealing with doorstep callers.
“People should not be pressured into agreeing for work to be carried out straight away – even if they’re being offered discount prices – and should take the time to do their research and ensure they know who they’re dealing with and are paying a reasonable price.
“This prosecution shows how seriously we take these matters and I’d like to commend our Trading Standards officers for their hard work and to thank Sussex Police and the residents of Plumpton Green for their assistance.”
People looking for businesses to carry out work in their home can request a copy of the latest approved trader directory listing businesses registered under the Trading Standards Buy With Confidence Scheme online at www.eastsussex.gov.uk or by calling the Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 08454 040506.
Also available by calling the same number is a free ‘Super Sticker’ which people can display at their front door warning doorstep traders to stay away.

My retired parent's driveway started to disintegrate after only minimal usage. They felt very let down but were too intimidated by this company's attitude to complain further. The re-work is now being done by another company instead.

Creative Driveways completed a large project at my house in Pound Hill, Crawley. The work included constructing a front granite gravel driveway with two entrances, building a large black decking area and paving in the back garden and landscaping with topsoil, shrubs, fencing and gates. The work was done with professionalism and continual communication regarding progress. The work was also reasonably priced. Michael and his team of hard working and polite staff were a pleasure to work with as many of the houses around me have already found.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company. More...

350 square metres of fractured tarmac driveway and disarrayed patio slabs were transformed to create very attractive and extremely functional interconnected hard standing and leisure areas. The work was done quickly and to a high standard including creating some innovative patterns within the paving. The overall effect is good to look at and in respect of which there have been many favourable comments. More...

Creative Driveways laid my patio about 4 years ago. They were very professional and did an excellent job. The driveway still looks great after 4 years. I have since recommended them to several other local residents - and a client in Kent - who have all been completely satisfied with their work. I would certainly recommend them based on my own experience. More...

Driveways should last for many years, so I cannot properly rate the quality of my new block-paved driveway after just one week.
However, first impressions are that it looks great (I've also had positive comments from neighbours), and if it still looks this good in 5-10 years without any irregular settling then I will be very happy. Time will tell - current 4* rating is based on cosmetic appearance.
All work was carried out promptly and the guys working on the job were friendly, courteous and clearly took pride in their work.
There was confusion over the quotation which led to a price increase after the work had been started - CD needs to be careful of this in order to gain recommendations in future.

Mr Delaney and his men, recently carried out some land scapeing for me and I am extremely pleased with the result. They built me a patio, an outside fireplace and some raised retaining walls so that I am still able to look after my plants and do some light gardening with my disability.
They were all reliable, efficient, hard working and very helpful in some of the ideas that they suggested in making my garden more accessible for me. True to his word, Mr Delaney made sure that my access was disabled friendly and they kept any disruption to a minimum for me.
I would have no hesitation in using them again and recommending their work to people wishing to use their services.

My neighbour recently had his driveway and pathway replaced, they did a lovely job. They gave me a good price to have my driveway done too. They were very accommodating and even did my pathway up to my front door for me in with the price of the driveway! Creative is definitely a good word to use for them. They were good workers, only took two and a half days but they didn't slack on the workmanship and they left everything clean and tidy. I'm very pleased. More...
