Materials We Work With

As part of our groundworks, we work with a range of surfacing materials for the final surface, each of which is best for different project types. Materials we often work with include:

Tarmac and Asphalt: Widely used materials that are perfect for driveways, roads, car parks and more. Both are durable and long-lasting, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.

Resin Bound Surfaces: Highly customisable, attractive and hard-wearing, resin bound is a versatile material that can last for many years with minimal maintenance.

Gravel: Affordable, pleasing to look at and timeless in appearance, gravel is not only a budget-friendly option – it’s also ideal for those with heritage properties.

Not sure which material is right for your project? Our specialists can guide you to the best option for a durable, high-quality finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which surface should I pick?

All the surfaces we offer have their own pros and cons, it really depends on your preferences and requirements. If you’re not sure which surface to select for your new project, let us know, and we will be more than happy to advise and talk you through your options.

Generally, we work with tarmac, resin-bound surfaces and gravel as far as surfacing materials go. For a long-lasting surface, we opt for tarmac and asphalt, which is what roads in the UK are made of. For a more attractive, versatile material that can last for a long time without needing maintained every few years by groundworks contractors, we’d suggest resin-bound. Last, but certainly not least, is gravel. Gravel is a great choice for those who want to cover large areas of ground with a surfacing material that won’t put you too out of pocket.
