Andy amd his team did a fantastic job installing a beautiful porcelain tile patio and steps in my rear garden. His workmanship and attention to detail were outstanding from start to finish. The finish is immaculate, and the whole area has been completely transformed. Andy was punctual, professional, and kept everything tidy throughout the job. It’s clear he takes great pride in his work, and the result speaks for itself. I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for top-quality patio or landscaping work.

Excellent experience with this company from start to finish, Andy worked with me to offer me a driveway that would fit my budget. Workers were on time every day, friendly, approachable and respectful whilst working on my property. They were a close knit team that worked fast and very efficiently. My new driveway and fence look absolutely fantastic. I will definately have these guys back in the future to carry out other works. A huge thanks to Andy and all of his amazing team!

Yet again a great job from a great team. Andy’s team block paved the entrance to our driveway taking great care of plants/trees at the edges. They were professional, hardworking, patient when explaining processes to us and very polite. It looks better than envisaged and was finished a day ahead of schedule. Thanks everyone involved and I have no hesitation in recommending Andy Gleeson to anyone.

We had Andy and his team in to remove and replace our old and tired driveway. This also included removing all of the overgrown hedges including tree trunks and a grass area. They took care of every detail including drainage, installing a new water line and also installed new fencing. The whole team were totally professional and very polite. The job was also completed quickly. The area was left clean and tidy every day. A fantastic job by a fantastic team. Highly recommended.
