I have no hesitation in recommending Home County Paving & Surfacing. In fact, after repairing my block-pave driveway, I’ve already asked them to look another job. They offer quick, professional advice with excellent communication and top-quality workmanship. They went above and beyond to make the job smooth, fast, and hassle-free - and at a competitive price. Really nice people, and I’d 100% use them again. Highly recommended!

The wood was left cracked in areas and there are some miss cuts. The concrete was undertaken during torrential rain and has resulted in constant dusting being trailed onto the decking and subsequently into the house. The concrete ran down the length of the driveway and cannot be removed. Phoned to complain 3 weeks ago and heard nothing further.
