What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Householders wanting patios, driveways and garden improvements in Birmingham feature prominently among the projects described by customers of Ideal Building & Landscapes. Sam, who leads the company, is repeatedly credited with listening carefully during the quotation stage and offering design suggestions that make better use of the available space, whether the brief covers a porcelain patio with brick wall and steps, block paving laid over an old concrete slab, or a widened driveway. The crews, with Stacy, Phil, Tom, Dom and Jason named in several accounts, are described as punctual, polite and hard working, arriving when promised and checking with the householder whenever anything is unclear.

Tidiness comes up often: waste is removed, and the site is cleared at the end of each day. Workmanship is said to be of a high standard, with jobs finished within the agreed timeframe and problems dealt with promptly by Sam, who remains contactable throughout. The completed driveways and patios are described as transforming the gardens they sit in, from gravel removal and new steps to landscaping and fencing, and customers report returning for further projects such as a patio after an earlier driveway.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We recently had our patio installed by Sam and his team, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the whole process was smooth and professional. Sam took the time to listen to what we wanted and offered great suggestions to make the most of our space. The team showed up on time every day, worked efficiently, and left everything clean and tidy at the end of the job. The finished patio looks absolutely amazing — the craftsmanship and attention to detail are outstanding. It’s completely transformed our garden and we’ve already had so many compliments from friends and neighbors. Highly recommend Sam and his team for anyone looking for quality workmanship and excellent service.

Instinctively new Ideal Building & Landscaping were the company to employ. From the first meeting Sam listened and engaged with my thoughts and needs. The lads Stacy, Phil & Tom were attentive and good to have around. Just keep them in coffee & cakes and viola they perform really well. Start on time and liase with you on anything they are unsure of. Thanks Sam & the team 👏

Sam and the team were professional and hard working through-out the process of removing gravel and installing a patio to the rear garden of our semi-detached property. The finish is excellent and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for garden/landscape improvements.
