Gareth did an excellent job excavating and relaying our driveway junction with the road. He was clear in his quotation, performed exactly to schedule even though the weather was dreadful and produced an excellent result. He was also a pleasure to have around.
I M McCulloch, Sidmouth April 22, 2012
Gareth has just completed our new block paving patio and path, with drainage. His quote set out exactly what he was going to do and everything was done exactly to that specification. Gareth is certainly a man who knows his trade, who works extremely hard, yet is very tidy and careful. We are extremely pleased with the finished job and would not hesitate to use Gareth's services again and definitely recommend him to others.

Gareth built steps with engineering bricks, and screeded two floors, one a double garage 6x5m.

He has supervised excavations for foundations for 3 parking spaces and a natural stone wall, and lifted existing kerb stones. He has laid all foundation concrete and relaid the kerb stones, laid all the parking area base materials, and levelled and compacted them very thoroughly.

He has built a natural stone wall 15m long to enclose a shrub and flower garden. All of Gareth’s work has drawn numerous comments of appreciation from my neighbours and passers-by.

I am extremely pleased and satisfied with the work Gareth has carried out for me. Gareth works very hard and diligently maintains his workmanship to a high standard from first thing in the morning until he leaves at the end of the day. He is cheerful and positive in his attitude and manner.

My only regret is that I met Gareth for the first time just prior to his working here. If we had met him earlier I would have offered him considerably more work on my house and property.
Robert Crawley, Colaton Raleigh December 28, 2011
A man with plenty of experience and who knows exactly what he is doing. Hard working, even in bad weather. Very neat and tidy. Started and finished work exactly on time and within budget. Helpful in choosing right materials and a very pleasant personality. Took photo of his own work, proving he was as well satisfied with the job as I was.

Gareth is a very reliable worker who completed the task to a very high standard and on schedule, keeping costs to a minimum. He was very useful in helping to design the concept, and we were happy to trust his advice based on his wealth of experience. Gareth is a very friendly guy who works extremely hard and I would certainly recommend him.

I have recently had work carried out by Gareth Guck. The work has been carried out to a high standard – highly commendable.
Maureen & Nick Britton, Sidmouth July 25, 2011
Gareth is very friendly, reliable, a good time keeper & most importantly trustworthy. He did all the hard work, ordered the materials, recommended the best options and created an excellent decking area, whilst re-pointing the existing paving so it looked like new. We would not hesitate to use him again and recommend him to others.
Norman Crossland, East Budleigh July 16, 2011
Gareth Guck has designed and installed a new patio for me in a very professional and competent way. Always pleasant and cheerful, he was very helpful in coping with a few modifications to the original design.
Highly recommended, I would certainly use him again.

Gareth Guck of Designer Drives has done a number of excellent hard landscaping jobs for me over a period of years and I have found him to be reliable, trustworthy and extremely hard working. He is always cheerful, pleasant to have around and very approachable.

I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
Chris and Val R, Honiton September 6, 2010
We can't speak highly enough of how good Gareth Guck was. Absolutely excellent - could not fault them in any way. They did everything out the front and back of our house including laying the lawn and laying the drive.
For customer service they were absolutely lovely guys. They took us through every stage before they did the work, ensuring that we would be happy with the outcome. We are delighted to have the opportunity to leave a reference for them!
