What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Homeowners and private clients around Bristol describe a range of groundworks and clearance projects handled by R E Hill & Son, from garden stripping and levelling to driveway conversions and drain repairs. Reviews time and again mention that jobs were completed swiftly and to a good standard, with one recounting how a garden was cleared, an asbestos garage taken down and footings prepared inside a single week. A detail many reviews return to is the assistance Mike gave during quoting, explaining why problems had arisen and answering questions so that customers understood the scope of work.

The team's polite and friendly manner is another recurring theme, with Sam named for an easy-going approach on a delivery. Tidiness also features regularly, as sites were cleared and left neat once work finished. Customers value the practical handling of waste, noting that spoil and garden debris were removed more easily than filling a skip, and that the aggregates supplied were of good quality. Drain repair, driveway widening, tarmac surfacing and garden levelling are among the jobs described, with customers expressing pleasure at the finished result and a willingness to return.

Really happy with the work done by the team. We went to R E Hill & Son to rapair the drain and level where the driveway meets the pavement as this was causing us issues. Mike was really helpful when quoting for the work. Explained why we were seeing the issues we were experiencing, and answered all the questions I had so I felt I had an a good understanding of what was needed. The lads turned up and got he job done on time and to a high standard. Couldn't have asked anymore. Would definitely use them again, and recommend to others.

Your drivers are dangerous. Pulled out on to the A38 with no regard for traffic. Forced to brake in the rain to avoid a collision. Shocking and stupid.

We have just had Mike and his team convert our single driveway into a double. The team worked really hard, were very polite and really skilled. I wanted a more unique and aged driveway that was in keeping with the house. I’m so happy with how the drive turned out and have already had lots of compliments from neighbours and friends. I would highly recommend this company if you’re looking to get your driveway done and want a high end service.

Very pleased with our new block paved driveway! We had our existing concrete drive and front garden excavated and disposed of. Mike and his team laid brick paving with steps to our front and back doors and put in a dropped curb. Works were completed quickly and efficiently. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend! 😊
