EXCELLENT Based on 104 reviews Posted on Jean JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Another excellent job from A M Driveways. Very hard working and friendly staff.Posted on Rebecca CottamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service from start to finish. Lee and his team have worked very hard in poor weather conditions and done a fantastic job of our drive. Thanks to Matthew for his great ideas for the design and for keeping us up to date on the progress and we would highly recommend this company to anyone. Thanks Paul and Wendy.Posted on Marie SullivanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first time Matthew came round to quote on a new driveway, we knew he was the man for the job but thought the cost would be too much. We were very pleasantly surprised when we received the quote and immediately gave the go ahead. Timeframes quoted were based on the blocks being imported but the one thing Matthew said was it would be done before the end of the year. Well, we are at the 2nd week in November, and the job is complete! Lee and the guys on site worked hard and were always polite. They have done an absolutely amazing job on transforming our old driveway into a new parking area. Not that we are looking to move but I know this will have added value to the property. Our old drive always had standing water when it rained (quite a bit in Cumbria) but so far, nothing. I will be honest; I can't stop looking out the windows and admiring it. Thank you to Matthew and Lee & co for such a great job. If you're thinking about whether to contact AM Driveways, then do it and let Matthew tell you about the techniques they use and why it is ultimately going to give you the best results.Posted on Gary fallowsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent did a fantastic job and very friendlyPosted on rachaelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing job done by the team would highly recommend again. Efficient and hard workingPosted on Gemma HollandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had seen some fantastic work by A M Driveways and was pleasantly surprised with my quote after suspecting they may be out of my price range. They were professional and courteous from Matthew visiting to survey the job right through to the guys finishing the work. They encountered some issues underneath my old driveway and kept me informed throughout of all the work they were doing and how they were rectifying the problems. They were a really great team, going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, they were friendly and polite and they worked so hard, some of it in atrocious weather. I am absolutely over the moon with my new driveway, it has been completed to such a high standard and has transformed the front of my property. I cannot recommend them highly enough!Posted on Ian RadtkeBakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The job that, was completed on time, was one of immense proportions. Not just a driveway but all the way around our bungalow with the added tasks of drainage to be sorted along with all steps to be replaced with wheelchair suitable ramps. They went above and beyond anything we could have wished for with help and advice and execution of the contract. As a wheelchair user this has changed my wife's life . We would whole heartedly recommend AM Driveways and if any potential customers wish to see the completed works they can do so by arranging with AM Driveways And finally but by no means least our big thanks to the Lee, Chris and the rest of the crew for their hard work and understanding, also thanks to Matthew and Steve.Posted on Steven FellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleased with our new drive from A M Driveways, it looks fantastic and the team installed the drive really quickly. The entire team were nice to deal with and knew their stuff; they even accommodated a last minute change that we asked for part way though the installation. Our old drive was part tarmac and part stone chippings and in heavy rain we used to get some standing water at the low point of the area covered by chippings; after a recent two day deluge of almost constant rain, I'm happy to say that the new block paved drive handled all the rain and there was no standing water at all - see attached photo that was taken after a day and a half of almost constant rain.Posted on David GillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An incredible job from Lee and the team on a very complex job including rectifying a drainage issue. Matthew has been a massive help keeping us updated and answering any questions we had. They are absolute grafters and we couldnt be happier with the results. Thank you!Posted on Bradley LewisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted AM driveways after seeing some of their work around the area. Our driveway is not a standard size but, the quote was fantastic value. They really know their stuff too expanding the why’s and how’s throughout the whole process. They arrived weeks in advance to apply weed killer on serval occasions to sure as much of the weeds would have gone before starting work. The driveway was started on time and fished the same week. The work carried out has been fantastic from brilliant customer service to top quality materials. Highly recommend. Fantastic company.
