West Midlands Landscapes strives to make having a new driveway installed as an enjoyable experience as possible,for some the process of choosing a blockpaving contractor and having their driveway ripped up and relayed can be a daunting prospect to say the least!

How to choose a driveway contractor in the westmidlands?

If you are thinking of having a new driveway installed then you will know it is a considerable investment,so choosing the right installer is crucial.

A few things to consider when choosing your paving contractor are,do they have previous jobs you can go and take at? do they have a website you can browse through? are they a member of any professional body? do they guarantee their work?do they have references you can speak too? are the staff qualified? Here at West midlands landscapes we can offer all of the above when asked.

 

What next after choosing a few  block paving contractors to quote for your drive?
Once you have chosen 2 or 3 contractors to give you a quote MAKE SURE you know what you have been quoted for IE what type of block ,does it include edging kerbs?,what depth of stone do they intend putting down as a base,have they allowed for drainage run off in accordance to Suds laws? It never ceases to amaze me when i ask the client what they have been quoted for and usually the response is a shrug of the shoulders and ” the man said he would make it look nice!”

As a company  west midlands landscapes  prides itself in taking time with the clients to make sure they are happy with the blocks we are using and the fashion in which we lay them we treat each job the same whether its a 250m2 drive or a 20m2 , we still want the client to be totally confident and assured of a quality job from start to finish, we only use quality blocks from suppliers like Plaspave ,Marshalls and Formpave and we don’t ask for any money up font and only ask for payment when the client is totally satisfied with the job.

 

 

 

So if you live in the west midlands or surrounding area and would like a quote for a new driveway please get in touch

"I have a 6ft pair of Niwakis, wish i’d had them years before I did. I initially got the 8fts and immediately realised they would be a pain for the majority of hedges I used to cut. I think they are brilliant just make sure they are seated properly.…"

"I wouldn't cut a hedge without one. Anything over 6' you should get with 3 adjustable legs, otherwise they can be unstable if you lean - but positioned correctly they are the only way.

"Yes had that scenario where you can't reach a fiddly bit no matter what ladder and have to balance on the apex of a shed roof or do best job painstakingly with a long reach pole pruner . "

"I'm very wary of these tripod ladders, I took a life changing fall from the top of a 12ft tripod. Now I only use them myself with great care. The issue is that they are very unstable at the top if you lean to either side, and they go with no…"

"Tripods are better than any other ladder that's a fact. You can cut hedges that are lower than the ladder but it is more awkward, I have a 6ft amd a 12 foot been using both for the last 15yrs and haven't come stuck yet. Believe me once you've had…"

Hi.Does a mossey lawn always equal a full lawn renovation? Once you kill (or control) moss the customer is left with brown / black dead moss all over their lawn. So then its needs scarifying to rake it up, then usually a preseed fert, seed and top…
