Karl Mason

Owner, 23 years in the trade

"A drive or a patio is judged on the bit nobody sees once it is finished. If the dig is not deep enough or the sub-base is not right, it will look lovely for a year and then start to move. We do that part properly, which is why we are happy to put ten years in writing behind the work."

How it works

Three steps from first phone call to finished job.

1

Tell us what you are planning

Fill in the short form or ring Karl. Rough measurements and a photo of the drive or garden as it is now are plenty to start with.

2

Free site visit and a price talked through

Karl comes out, measures up and goes through the surface options with you, including a rough price on the day and why the job costs what it does. The formal written quote follows within a few days.

3

We dig out, lay it and clear up

One team from the excavation to the final joint. The spoil goes as it comes out, the site gets swept down at the end of every day and you get a drive you can park on.

FAQs

Answers to the most common questions we get.

Karl aims to call you back the same day during working hours and can usually get out to measure up within a few days. The visit is free and there is no obligation, so it is worth asking even if you are only weighing the job up.

Block paving, resin driveways, porcelain and Indian sandstone patios, paths, steps and edging, plus fencing, composite decking, turfing and artificial lawn where it sits alongside the hard landscaping. Front drives through to whole back gardens.

We do not take on tree work or planting. If the job you are planning is mostly about trees or borders you are better off with a specialist, and we will say so rather than quote for it.

You get a rough price on the day and a proper explanation of why the job costs what it does, then the formal written quote follows within a few days. That way the number you are given has actually been worked out rather than guessed at your front door.

The workmanship on every job we do carries a 10 year guarantee, and it is confirmed in writing with your quote rather than promised verbally. Karl will talk you through exactly what it covers on the site visit.

The whole thing. Digging out to the right depth, taking the spoil away, the sub-base, the drainage and the edging, then the surface itself. The dig and the sub-base are what decide whether a drive is still flat in ten years.

It gets designed in rather than added on. Most of the drives we lay run to a channel drain or to a permeable surface, so surface water is not simply pushed onto the pavement or towards the house. We will tell you at the quote stage which option your ground and levels actually suit.

A typical driveway is a matter of days rather than weeks. There is no pretending the dig is tidy, but the spoil goes as it comes out, the site gets swept at the end of every day and we tell you up front which days you will not be able to park.

Southampton, Totton, Hedge End, Bursledon, Sholing, Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, Fair Oak and Bishopstoke, plus the villages in between across south Hampshire. If you are just outside that, ring us anyway and we will tell you straight away whether we can get to you.
