What makes us stand out
Experienced and reliable company
Six decades of civil engineering protecting road and car park finishes from sub-base failure.
Relationships with specialist groundwork contractors
An established regional B2B network ensuring seamless coordination from deep excavation to final Tarmac® handover.
Quality guaranteed for work
Properly engineered sub-bases that eliminate structural shifting, premature surface cracking, and localised pooling of water.
Strong groundwork that gives your surface a fighting chance
Groundworks and excavation form the foundation for every macadam, asphalt and Tarmac® surface we install, whether it is a road, driveway, car park or footpath. If the sub-base shifts, sinks or fails, the finished surface above it will crack and deteriorate over time. We plan the right approach based on your site conditions, traffic levels and intended use, ensuring the groundwork properly supports the final finish.
Edwards Surfacing delivers both standalone paving work and full construction from start to finish. We carry out our own groundworks while also working with trusted specialist contractors where required, giving you a reliable and flexible approach that suits your project.
A practical approach shaped around your site
Every site is different, which is why we take the time to assess what is needed before work begins. Our team works closely with you to decide the most suitable method, whether that involves full excavation, sub-base installation or integrating specialist groundwork support. If a project requires specific expertise, we coordinate with experienced groundwork contractors we know and trust to deliver consistent results.
We maintain strong working relationships with specialists across the Midlands and South East, ensuring reliable support when needed. At the same time, we are a preferred surfacing contractor for many groundworkers, house builders and line marking teams, reflecting the confidence others in the industry place in our work.
Why the work below the surface matters so much
Good groundwork ensures effective drainage, reduces the risk of movement and provides a stable base for surfacing layers such as macadam, asphalt or Tarmac®. Without this, even a well-laid surface dressing or line marking can fail prematurely. Proper preparation helps surfaces withstand regular traffic and changing weather conditions while maintaining their structure and appearance. Edwards Surfacing treats groundwork as a critical stage because it directly affects how the finished surface performs and how long it lasts.
