We needed a garden and patio revamp and decided to contact Maughan Construction as they are a local company. Ted promptly came along to discuss our requirements and he also made some suggestions. We thanked him for the advice and quote given and asked him to leave it with us to discuss whether to accept or not.We decided to go ahead, with apprehension, as we are not very trusting of trades people and always do our own jobs as much as possible, but landscaping is not a job that we feel we can take on. Ted sensed our apprehension and reassured us many times that he would do a good job and that we could trust him.Before the job could begin, there was a lot of left over rubble from a previous attempt at our garden. Ted and team promptly removed this and cleared the garden before commencing work. As the garden slopes, we needed several steps down to the shed area. The steps needed to be wide and shallow. Ted made sure that they were done to our requirement and kept checking with us that all was ok.We already had an unfinished area boxed in by sleepers. These were made to look good, level and as straight as possible. They added coloured gravel and made a beautiful feature of this section of garden which, honestly , we had no idea what to do with. They paved our patio, sides and front of house, replaced all man holes and made good any areas which needed attention at no extra cost.The next section of garden was a grassed area. Ted advised that he would prepare and top soil the area ready for the new turf which we could simply do ourselves. However, he would not leave an unfinished area and did the grass turf on our behalf again at no extra cost. He constantly checked with us to make sure that he was doing what we requested and met all our requirements.Ted and his team are quick (2 days), efficient, very clean, tidy and considerate. Ted was the first to arrive very early each morning and the last to leave at the end of the day. He made sure that everywhere was clean and tidy and to his satisfaction before leaving. Ted's aim was to make us happy and we can honestly say that he succeeded with the beautiful job that he did along with his team. Ted came as a trades person but left as a friend. Thank you very much for your hard work. We are now the proud owners of a lovely garden and paved area. thanks to you and your team. We highly recommend Maughan Construction.

Had Ted and his team do our drive and what a great job they have done. He went above and beyond to make sure he got everything right and in the time frame that he told me it would be done by (2 Days).I would recommend him and his team to anyone that was thinking about using him.I have asked him to do the back garden later on in the year(when I saved up to pay for it.) 10 out of 10

Great job by Ted and his team. If you want someone who will give you good advice on how best to extend your garden, Turn up when they say they will, work hard and do it all for the price quoted this is the company for you. Amazing service and the speed they works at is unreal. Great job 💪

After seeing a paving job that Terry had done I asked the owner of the house who had done the drive.The owner was good enough to give me Terry's contact number.I then contacted Terry to ask for an estimate for paving for about 120sq mtrs. He arranged to meet me on Sat morning, he arrived at the appointment at the time arranged so that was the first good point.We sorted out what I required and agreed he should start on the following Tuesday ( yesterday).He arrived as planned with his gang of very efficient and plesent workers and in two days completed the work to a very high standard of which we are very satisfied with.I now have the drive I wanted, in record time with the area cleaned up with not a bit of mess left.Would highly recommend Terry and have awarded him 5 stars which I do with confidence.

I was impressed by how efficiently Ted and his team worked on my project. They were ready to start at 7:30 am and completed everything by the end of the day, just as promised.What struck me most was that they maintained a clean work area, tidying up as they went along. The road and pavement were always free of debris, and they even laid a dust sheet on the road under the back of their lorry when unloading materials.From the photos, you can see the attention to detail in the lines, levels, and cuts. I briefly spoke with the workers, and they were very polite.Of all the driveway contractors in Stoke, I made the right decision by contracting these guys. I would highly recommend them and will work with them again for future projects.

I always get stressed about having work done but I decided to contact Ted after seeing the quality of work he and his team had carried out on a neighbour’s drive and hearing how happy they had been with the way everyone had worked.The fencing I needed doing was a difficult job and it was important that it was finished quickly to ensure the garden and driveway were safe for mine and my neighbour’s dogsTed visited three times before starting the work to ensure that I was happy with what was being done, always phoning before hand so I wasn’t left waiting.On the first day, Ted and his team turned up on time and worked over 11 hours straight through. Everyone was friendly and professional and couldn’t do enough to help, making sure that everywhere was clean and tidy and that I was happy with everything.It’s the little things that make the difference like ensuring my neighbours were happy, that their drive was cleaned and that their side of the fence was neat and tidy and finished with gravel as well.The work was completed in two days and Ted even stayed after the work was completed to ensure the skip was removed and the driveway cleaned.I have never known a team with such a strong work ethic and attention to detail.

Another fantastic job by Ted and his team. Always punctual, polite and courteous. They provided an exceptional service from start to finish and nothing was too much trouble. The team were extremely hard working and efficient and left no detail untouched. Ted went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy with their work every step of the way. Would definitely use Maughan Construction again due to their high standard of work and professionalism. We would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you Ted & team!

A decision to have a new driveway installed is not a one to be made lightly. Add on a new pathway with a patio in the back garden and the decision becomes one of how best to present your property to the world for, likely, the next twenty years. How to ensure you get that wow factor, that pride when people turn up at your door, and that desire to dust off the barbeque just to have an excuse to spend time outside?Turns out it’s a pretty easy decision to make after all, just ask Maughan to make your driveway dreams come true! With Maughan you get the full package from start to finish, satisfaction guaranteed.In a matter of hours after our initial tentative enquiry, the irrepressible Ted arrived and took us from clueless to confident. We quickly understood the full picture of what materials would work best, what designs would best show off our property and how the whole process would work. We were given a guaranteed price and a firm start and finish date.Now, just one week later, we have a paved garden, patio and driveway that is the envy of the street. What we got from Maughan was a good price, a friendly hard working team, exactly what was promised and exactly what we wanted. At every stage of the installation we were kept up to speed on what was happening and why. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.When Kubla Kahn decreed his stately pleasure dome be built in Xanadu, he definitely should have asked Ted and his team to pave the driveway.

Ted was very professional from the outset in providing an estimate and valuation of the works. He and his team were very diligent and very hard working through out the works . Everything was very well planned to which the works ran very smoothly. Ted and his team were also very clean throughout the duration of the works. The standard of the completed new drive way was excellent. We would highly recommend Maughan Construction.
