Verified Company
When we decided to do the new patio, we were quite worried about finding the right people. After past house renovations with delays, late completion, and costs going over budget, we were very skeptical.
We got quotes from a few companies before a small leaflet for "Approved Driveways and Patios" came through the door. A couple of days later we decided to call the number. Michael called back the next day, came to look around, and gave us a quote. A few hours after that we decided to go with him and signed the contract for the scope and cost.
Michael said he could start in 2 weeks and it would take 3-4 days to finish. Simple as that.
Two weeks later he and his team started on schedule and completed a perfect job, right on time.
The team worked incredibly hard every day during the heatwave. They were friendly, professional, and kept us updated. Michael talked us through the process and confirmed the pattern we wanted for the slabs.
It was the least stressful house renovation experience we’ve ever had. The new patio looks amazing and we’re so happy with it. Simple, stress-free, perfect result. They even left the house tidy and clean before they left.
We can’t thank Michael and the amazing team at Approved Driveways and Patios enough. I highly recommend Michael and his team to anyone.
Driveway
They work fast, they are amazing, and they keep the place as orderly as possible while working. The finished job is absolutely incredible—I had mine done in August 2025, and it still looks just as good today as the day they laid it!
I recommend them 100%. In fact, my neighbour just asked for their details because he loves how it looks. Thanks once again to Mikey and the team! 💯%
Absolutely delighted with my new driveway! The team was professional, reliable, and worked to a very high standard from start to finish. They paid great attention to detail, kept everything tidy, and completed the job on time. The finished driveway looks fantastic and has completely transformed the front of my home. I’ve already had compliments from neighbours and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality workmanship and excellent service.

Block paved driveway
After having a cowboy firm leave us with half the work left to do, Approved drives and patios came to our assistance.
Repairing and finishing the previous companies work.
The boys were very courteous and helpful.

Patio at front of house
This is the second job Approved Patios have done for me. This week Michael and his team built a patio at the front of our house. It was originally a rock garden but it wasn’t usable. Now we have a lovely patio of Indian sandstone in the middle of the rock garden that is so functional. We can now sit there and enjoy the sunshine at the front of the house. The patio is beautifully designed, a huge upgrade on the original idea I had which Michael took and revamped and made into something more functional. The job was finished in two days. We are extremely delighted with the result.
