Your local team, doing the job properly

JR Landscapes & Driveways is run by Jack Roberts from Prees, between Whitchurch and Market Drayton. We lay driveways and patios and build gardens for people who live in them, across north Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire.

About us

We would rather dig it out than cover it up

There is a version of this trade that competes on how quickly a drive can be made to look finished. Skim over the old surface, get it swept, get paid. It looks right for a couple of winters and then the same cracks come back through, because nothing underneath ever changed.

We work the other way round. The dig, the sub-base and the edgings take most of the time on site and none of the credit, and they are the reason a drive is still flat and still draining years later. If we tell you a job needs more excavation than you were expecting, it is because the alternative is doing it twice.

The other half of what we do is behind the house: patios set out for where the sun actually is in the evening, retaining walls that turn a slope into somewhere you can put a table, hedges and trees brought back under control, and lawns that are not just turf laid on compacted builders' rubble. It is the same principle either side of the house. Sort the ground first.

Questions

Before you get in touch

Who will actually be doing the work?

The same people who quote it. You are not handed from a salesperson to a subcontracted crew who have never seen the original conversation.

Do you work on commercial sites?

No. Private homes and gardens only.

How do I get a price?

Call or message us, or send the enquiry form. A photo of what is there now tells us more than a description does, and then we come out and look at the job properly before pricing it.

How far do you travel?

We work outwards from Prees across north Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire. If you are near the edge of that and not sure, just ask and we will tell you straight away.

Do you take the old surface and the waste away?

Yes. The dig out, the old slabs or tarmac and the spoil all go with us. We leave the site tidy at the end of each day rather than stacking rubbish by your gate.

How long will my job take?

It depends on the size and what is underneath, but most drives and patios run over several days rather than weeks. We give you a realistic idea of timing when we quote, not a best case that slips.

Do I get the price in writing?

Yes. Once we have seen the job you get a clear written price for the work itself, so there are no surprises once we start.
