What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

A broad spread of projects – new driveways, patios and paths, resin surfaces, turfing, decking and a concrete base for a shed – sits behind the feedback for this Edinburgh business, and the same qualities surface repeatedly. Jack is named in almost every account and is described as easy to deal with, willing to adapt when plans change and quick to suggest solutions when a fresh request arises mid-job. Workmanship attracts consistent praise, with careful handling of tiles and close attention to levels on a porcelain patio where drains and inspection chambers had to be worked around.

Reliability is a recurring theme, the team turning up on the agreed days and keeping customers informed as the work progressed. Tidiness comes up often too: the site was cleared at the end of each working day, and in one case plants were tidied alongside the new landscaping. Pricing is repeatedly called fair, and one reviewer notes that a couple of extra tasks were completed without hesitation or added cost. Patios and driveways feature most among the completed installations.

Jack and Dale did a great job fitting decking in our garden. Reasonable quote, able to fit us in pretty quickly and we are really pleased with the end result. Would highly recommend.

I recently had a resin driveway and paving installed by Lothian & Borders Drives, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, Jack and his team were professional, reliable, and a pleasure to deal with. Their attention to detail was outstanding, and the quality of workmanship is evident in every aspect of the finished project. The team took great pride in their work, kept me informed throughout the process, and ensured everything was completed to an exceptionally high standard. The transformation has exceeded my expectations and has completely enhanced the look of my home. I have already received so many compliments from friends and family, and I am absolutely delighted with the finished result. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jack and Lothian & Borders Drives to anyone looking for a professional, high-quality driveway or paving installation. Excellent service, excellent workmanship, and a fantastic end result. Thank you, Jack and team

Jack and his team done an amazing job turning our previously stoned drive into a drive which is now tarred. Jack was very prompt at surveying the job and getting a quote out to us promptly. His team were very efficient and answered any questions we had. Jack also gave us a variety of options and his expert opinion on what would look best and what materials were worth spending more on etc. Jacks communication was 5star+ he was very prompt in answering all queries and also booked the job in a very quick space of time. The work was very neat and professional and his team tidied up along the way. A 5 star job and would definitely recommend. Thanks again Jack.

Absolutely fantastic service from Jack and his team. In a week they transformed my front and back gardens, laying new turf, putting in a path from front to back, laying a concrete base for a shed, and tidying up existing plants. Based on the service that I received, I can't recommend them highly enough. Superb work.

These guys are brilliant. If you are looking to upgrade what you have at a reasonable price, don't go any further. Jack and his team laid resin on our front and back paths and the results are, quite frankly, amazing. And boy, do they work hard! No minute is wasted, they keep you informed of progress, they tidy up at the end of each day and check in regularly to ensure you are happy as the job progresses. We get a lot of compliments on the end result and will go nowhere else when we have our driveway redone. Thanks Jack and Team, we are delighted!
