Driveways and Surfacing

From block paving driveways to tarmac and resin surfaces, we deliver vehicle access and parking areas built for durability and long-term performance.

Professional Driveway Installation Across Exeter and Devon

A well-constructed driveway provides reliable vehicle access, enhances kerb appeal and withstands years of daily use and weather exposure.

We deliver driveway and surfacing works that combine structural integrity with visual finish. From residential driveways to commercial car parks and access roads, we create surfaces that handle vehicle loads, drain effectively and maintain their appearance over time.

Every project is built using quality materials, correct sub-base preparation and attention to falls, drainage and edge detailing. Operating across Exeter and Devon, we work with homeowners, developers and commercial clients who need driveways and surfacing that perform reliably from day one.

Why Choose JMJ Groundworks For Driveways and Surfacing?

We combine groundworks expertise with surfacing knowledge to deliver driveways that are engineered for longevity, not just laid for appearance.

Engineered Sub-Base Construction
We prepare driveways with properly compacted sub-base appropriate to ground conditions and expected vehicle loads, preventing settlement, cracking and surface failure.

Quality Materials and Installation
All surfacing uses specified materials from established suppliers, installed with correct bedding layers, jointing compounds and edge restraints to maintain stability and finish.

Effective Drainage Design
Every driveway is constructed with proper falls, channel drainage or permeable surfacing where required, ensuring water management complies with regulations and prevents surface water issues.

Professional Edge and Kerb Detailing
We install concrete edging, kerbing and boundary treatments that contain surfacing materials, define property lines and provide a finished, professional appearance.

Case Study

Driveways and External Works at Indio Fields

Driveways, kerbing and paving across a 24-home development

At Indio Fields in Bovey Tracey, our team delivered the driveways and external works for all 24 homes as part of a full groundworks package for Strongvox Homes. Alongside the roads and drainage, we laid the kerbing, paving, driveways and hard landscaping that finished each plot ready for handover. Delivering it consistently across every home helped give the development a high-quality finish, and all 24 homes went on to sell.

We recently worked with JMJ Groundworks Ltd on the installation of a new wash bay at our premises, along with improvements to our car park, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, the team were professional, reliable, and highly skilled. The quality of workmanship is outstanding and everything was completed to a very high standard, on time, and with great attention to detail. They were well organised on site, communicated clearly throughout the project, and were a pleasure to work with. JMJ Groundworks delivered exactly what they promised, and the finished wash bay and car park have made a significant improvement to our operations and site appearance. It’s clear they take real pride in their work and run their business properly. We would not hesitate to recommend JMJ Groundworks Ltd to anyone looking for a dependable and high quality groundworks contractor and we look forward to working with them again in the future. Lewis

Joe gave us 5 star service from beginning to the end of the project. He was very friendly, professional and informative and did a great job building our patio on an awkward piece of land. I would highly recommend him.

We recently employed JMJ to fix a blocked drain and to repair the blockwork around it. Joe came out, gave us a quote and then did the work. We were very impressed not only with the workmanship, which was excellent, but with his whole approach. He kept us informed all through the work, so that we understood what he was doing and why. We would have no hesitation in recommending him. John Benson, Blair Atholl Management Co. Ltd 28/04/2023
