We join Phil to find out more about what makes his services stand out from the crowd How did it all start?
I got in the trade industry straight after leaving school. After getting some good experience and completing my trade certifications, I decided to make the jump and started my own business. That was in 1994.
Now, more than 25 years later I would say we have one of the most well-established paving companies in Sydney.
Your motto when servicing clients?
“We pave your way”.
And we genuinely do that from start to end by guiding our clients with sound advice, helping them understand feasible options in terms of what will work best to suit their needs, lifestyle as well as property goals.
You have a strong base of long-time repeat clients. Why do you think that is?
We are reliable, stay connected and do exactly what we say.
And most importantly, our quality of work and expertise shows- we do each and every job extremely well.
What are the qualities of a good paver?
It all comes down to experience!
When I see a paving problem, 9 out of 10 times I can instantly tell that the previous paver didn’t have the in-depth experience or knowledge to perform the job correctly.
That’s why it’s important to always ask as many questions as you can.
What are the most common problems homeowners experience when they select the wrong paving business
Costs. It more costly to redo the job twice especially paving, which may require new materials, pavers and supplies.
Pavers moving, chipping, sinking or growing weed
More serious issues include concrete piling up in storm-water pipes and rising damp problems.
How are you different from all the other Sydney paving service providers out there?
Basically, paving is all we do – all day long – making us absolute industry specialists.
I say this as unfortunately in this industry, you come across many general tilers and landscapers offering paving services, yet because it’s not their full-time specialty there is a greater risk of problem occurring.
It’s also rare to find an established Sydney operation like ours- over 20 years experience with never a reported workmanship issue.
We also have a solid well-trained team that can expertly identify issues and offer clients ways to resolve them.
Best thing you love about living in the Sydney Norwest region?
Just watching the amazing infrastructure and business growth going on around us.
And it also has an excellent sporting community.
And in your spare time?
Family and playing baseball.
More raving reviews
“I am filled with complete praise… We interviewed 3 other pavers and Phil instantly set himself apart. Our outdoor area is significant and required over 320 sq m of paving. Phil was proactive in offering excellent design suggestions that none of the other pavers could. From the high quality of work to the respectful customer service experience, it was a seamless and well organised project in every sense. With Phil, you just know he will take care of any issue – quickly. I have since recommended Phil to others and he absolutely has my support to get a Top 3 spot.
