Area excavated as per quote taram 100 and type 1 installed and vibrated down in layers, all carried out in a professional manner and completed in the allocated time frame, site left clean and tidy, would definitely use Elite Driveways and excavations again
Overall these guys gave a great service, the work was done efficiently and with great quality while also being respectful of their impact on us and our neighbours. Really happy with the work they did on our front drive, turned it from a mud pit to a very smart looking feature of our home.
Recently transformed our Cottages drive with Willow fences either side. It's look fantastic and James and his team did a great job especially working in the snow. Really pleased, and can recommend
James was fantastic! So helpful and knowledgeable, he completed the job with no issues and left everything as it was, you wouldn't have known they dug the front of our house up! Highly recommend Elite and will definitely use them again.
Elite Driveways have recently completed a new Driveway at our business premises in Rackheath. From our first meeting James has been excellent with his advice, scheduling, promptness and standard of work. He and his team were professional, friendly, extremely hard working and delivered a excellent job. We would have no hesitation in using them again or highly recommending them.
I highly recommend James @ Elite Driveway and Excavations, from the first point of contact to the finished driveway James surpassed our expectations. His communication skills are excellent, and he works tirelessly to give you the best outcome.
We are so grateful to James for all his hard work. He has entirely transformed an embarrassingly neglected and muddy area into an entrance and front garden of which we can be proud.He is an excellent communicator keeping us updated throughout with progress and photographs, since we were not on site to see for ourselves. He has been thorough, diligent and considerate; even down to the smallest details like working around the daffodils to leave them flowering undisturbed, though we hadn’t asked or expected that would be possible.His high level of skill and workmanship will be enjoyed for many years to come, and we can absolutely recommend him to anybody looking for a reliable and trustworthy trader to undertake their project. His charges are very reasonable and we happily accepted them at once.Dr & Mrs M. Ragab
Many thanks to James for our new driveway and wall; a job well done and at a good price.
