EXCELLENT Based on 70 reviews Glenn Morris2024-11-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AM Driveways replaced an old fence for me, and block-paved a driveway. I am very happy with both jobs. The fencing work involved removing an old fence that was heavily overgrown, and fitting the new fence into a difficult area close to a sizeable hedge. The team did a great job. In the process, they found an old manhole I did not know was there, which they renovated and made safe. I had an awkward schedule and they were very good about fitting me in. On days when I could not be there they kept me informed of progress with photos and video. The whole process was carried out efficiently and to a high standard. I would be happy to use them again. Andy Ock2024-11-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AM Driveways are one of the most, if not the most professional outfits we have used since we arrived in Cumbria, 24 years ago. The whole experience from start to finish was smooth & stress free. Matthew & his team are very professional, very hard working, courteous, precise, & extremely efficient. The transformation from the old to our new driveway is astonishing. It’s value for money, it’s money well spent, & it’s worth every penny & God willing, they’ll return next spring to continue their work on our back garden. I would highly recommend AM Driveways as the only business to use in this particular field of work. Excellent, thank you. Debbie Hill2024-09-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first contact with AM Driveways we have been listened to, consulted and collaborated with, to achieve our fabulous new drive, path and patio area. Matthew ensured nothing was too much trouble and provided constant, excellent advice, especially during the initial stages, where we were deliberating on a choice of surface. He even arranged for the rep from Tobermore to call to assist with our choice of blocks, which was appreciated. Once work commenced, his hard-working team continued in the same vein. Lee, Chris and Jason worked incredibly hard, not only with professionalism, but also with a sense of pride in their work. It's all in the preparation, and the finished product is testament to the knowledge, skill and work ethic of the whole team, including the additional help from Ash and his team. We can't thank AM Driveways enough for transforming our property. Simply stunning! Nathan List2024-09-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent, from asking a price, getting the knowledge, fantastic group of chaps that did all the work, on time, never late very present chaps , cleaned up end of every day, I would highly recommend this company Ben Wildsmith2024-09-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The experience has been excellent from first meeting with Matthew, quotation, agreeing planned works and timings. The final product and service by Lee and the team was brilliant - good attention to detail and super finish that looks stunning and really enhanced the property. Thank you all. 👌 Jill K2024-09-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had our old drive replaced by A M Driveways. Can’t fault the team, we were really impressed with the speed and quality of their work. We’re so pleased with the end result and would definitely recommend. Connie Bainbridge2024-08-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Prompt response from initial enquiry for a quote for driveway and patio. Knowledgeable discussion and advice, I initially wanted a resin driveway but went with block paving on Matthew's advice, as all my utilities run under the drive and if they needed accessing it would ruin a resin finish, whereas blocks can be easily lifted. The team worked hard and discussed changes that needed to be made to the initial design. Minor snags were remedied promptly. I'm really pleased with the end result , thank you to Matthew and the team. Ray Guselli2024-08-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a number of companies look at the driveway at our house and were unsure as to whether we have brick-sets, tarmac, resin etc. Matthew from AM explained the benefits and pitfalls of each and we chose bricksets. Team turned up on Monday afternoon (despite the weather) and in no time had removed a large concrete driveway as well as a large grass area: 40 tons in total! The team were absolutely incredible and never stopped, working hard all the time. A lot of preparatory work throughout the week and drainage planned to make sure it ran away etc. Matthew assured me it would be finished on Friday but I thought not: friday lunchtime, all done and an absolutely superb drive creating a vast amount of space for us. Really happy with Matthew’s advice but in particular the team who were very friendly, helpful and worked so hard. Thank you all for a great job. Ray Alan Jones2024-08-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good Job Bernard Jackson2024-07-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted AM Driveways Ltd to lay a path in our back garden and to tidy up an area of the garden was was a mess. Matthew arrived the day after, took a look our very faded, tired imprinted drive and persuaded us to have that done as well. We opted for a resin drive and path, and slate chippings and border in the back garden. We are delighted with the result. Lee and Chris kept us up to date with the progress. They were very professional, friendly and excellent workers. All rubbish was taken away and the site left clean and tidy. We have had several positive comments from people walking past. We were so pleased with the work that we had them back to build a brick wall between our house and the neighbours. I would highly recommend this company.
