Subgrade Ltd
Concrete Services in Glen Eden

"Sub-grade replaced our existing driveway and created a new patio area and rain tank pad. Darin met us on site to plan the job to our requirements including water flow management. The job went totally to plan - on budget, to programme and worked with our plumber for the rain tank installation. We would use Sub-grade again thanks."

"We got subgrade to redo our driveway. We even made some changes to initial quote. The process was excellent throughout from quoting to getting the job done and the result was just what we wanted even down to the way the driveway channelled surface water down. The onsite team were polite, helpful and very efficient. ""

"I had Darin quote for a job at the school, being a school I was required to get at least three quotes. I was so impressed with Darin and his quote that I had Subgragde quote on a second job, these jobs needed to be completed in sequence, they included digging out a 150 cubic meters of old playground material while having to work around existing playground equipment, the other job consisted of concrete and asphalt work. Darin and his team completed these jobs without any complications, he was even able to accomidate an increase in the scope of one of these jobs with very little notice.
i am happy to highly recomend Darin and Subgrade to anyone needing work done.
In fact I have just had Darin complete a concrete job for me, at my home.
Rest asured if I wasnt completly happy with the work completed at the school I would not have had Subgrade do my home job.
When I have other projects, Subgrade will be my first call."

"I have used Sub Grade twice now, and I highly recommend them. I initially had a new stormwater drainage system and new 30-odd metre long concrete driveway installed at the front of the property. A few months later when my budget allowed I had further work done at the rear of the property. I now have no drainage or flooding issues whatsoever, which has come as a huge relief.

Darin and his team demonstrated a deep understanding of drainage systems and the issues that can arise. The initial assessment was very thorough and as a result Sub Grade accurately diagnosed the problem that I had, and explained the necessary steps to address it.

I have no knowledge of drainage or earthworks, but the transparency in providing detailed cost estimates, and Darins explanation of the proposed solution allowed me to make an informed decision without any hidden surprises. I had obtained three quotations for the job, and Sub-Grades fixed price was the most affordable, and the least complicated.

The team arrived on time every day, the workmanship is impeccable, and the property was left in an orderly/neat and tidy condition both during the project and after the works were completed. Sub Grade takes pride in their work, which shows in every aspect of their service.

Sub Grade have earned my trust and respect. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and efficient drainage solutions and have already recommended them to family and friends. I would have added more photos but you are only allowed to attach 5 to this review.
