“We’ve used Stanley Paving for a number of jobs over the years, both big and small, and have always had a great experience working with Ben and the team. They turn up when they say they will, work hard, and consistently deliver a quality result. Each project has transformed the space from tired and scruffy into something neat, tidy, and functional. It’s clear they take pride in their work. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stanley Paving to anyone considering paving or similar work.”

Highlights
“We are very happy with the paving that Ben did for us. His attention to detail was excellent. We have been recommending him to others. Thankyou Ben.”
“I have no hesitation in recommending Stanley Paving. They did two jobs for us, and we were very happy with the way they worked and the outcome. They worked in well with other builders and went beyond what would be normal - they moved a shed for us as well. Great guy to work with and we would happily use them again”

Contracted Ben to replace a path with paving slabs. He provided excellent advice and carried out a first class job. He cleaned up after the job was completed. Overall a very satisfactory experience. I recommend him for all of your paving jobs.
We were very happy with the results Ben delivered on the paving for our driveway. We needed our front yard paved. Due to the winter season and it was just getting too muddy. We needed some sort of pavement under our cart port to the drive way. He was the first person we spoke to regarding paving. Originally thought pricing was expensive but as we compared other quotes and how professional he was. Gave us great advice. We went with them. Ben was very honest and explain how he was going to do his
Great job recommend
Fast and efficient, from initial meeting to discuss the job, to getting the quote through and finally executing the job. Ben communicated the whole way through.
We were very pleased with the paving work that Ben and Jack did on our property. Ben arrived to give a quote within 2 days of my calling him. and his suggestions for improvement were perfect. The pair worked like Trojans-quickly and effectively, cleaned up and took away the rubbish and we were very happy with the end result.I would have no hesitation in recommending Ben to do your paving work.

Ben is professional, timely and does an excellent job. We have had 2 exceptional experiences with Ben and would only go to him for our paving needs.
We asked Ben for a quote and he was here within a couple of days. He listened to what we wanted, gave some advice about what would suit our project, showed us some examples of what he had done and gave us a time of 3 days to do the job. He provided a reasonable quote within a short time. The original date was scrapped due to Covid 19 but Ben rang us as soon as he was able to do the job when lockdown ended. Ben and Jack arrived at the agreed time and worked straight away. They saw us as they
Amazing job. No hesitation in recommending Ben and his team
Ben came and quoted the job which was only about 7 or 8 meters and 400mm wide just so we can get around our garden. The boys arrived on time and had the job done in 3 hours. Cleaned the site before leaving. Very professional and would be happy to recommend Stanley Paving to anyone.
Great to deal with. Prompt contact. We got them to do a small paving job with some recycled pavers. Job got done quickly and efficiently. They did a good job of tidying up afterwards too.
An excellent job. Very pleased. Good communication.
As one does with any Tradesman who is NOT a Cowboy, I had to wait for two weeks for Stanley Paving to do the job. Although the quote was more than expected, I decided to go ahead as I was aware good Tradesmen are hard to find - and Ben did not let me down. When I saw what he'd done I was pleased I'd gone with his company. He and his team were very friendly and professional. Without compromising in anyway, they worked fast and efficiently. I was extremely pleased with the paving they did for me.
Thank you very much. work was really well done.
Very pleased with the work done. Only a small job, but great to have it fixed.
First class job, very happy with the results. This was the second job Ben and his team have done for us and we are more than happy with the results. Will certainly use Ben again . Anton

Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
In New Zealand, restricted building work must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, and all electrical, plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying by a licensed tradesperson (EWRB for electricians, PGDB for plumbers and gasfitters). Check the public register before you hire.
For residential building work of $30,000 or more you are legally entitled to a written contract and a disclosure statement setting out the tradesperson's skills, licences and insurance. Ask for both before work starts.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
