New tar or rejuvenation?
Not every surface needs new tar. We’ll tell you which one you need, even when it’s the cheaper option.
Tar rejuvenation
- The tar has faded to grey
- It looks dry, rough or brittle on top
- Fine surface cracks are starting
- The base is still sound, no potholes
New tar surfacing
- There are potholes or sections breaking up
- Cracks are wide or spreading
- Water pools or gets into the base
- Repairs keep failing in the same spot

How much does tar surfacing cost in Cape Town?
It depends on the size of the area, the condition of the base underneath, access to the site, and whether you need new tar or only rejuvenation. Rejuvenation costs a fraction of a new surface. Send us photos for a small job, or we’ll visit and measure bigger ones for free. Either way, you get a written, itemised quote within 24 hours, so there are no surprises later.
Do I need new tar, or will rejuvenation do?
If your tar is faded, grey or starting to look dry and brittle, but the surface is still sound, rejuvenation is usually enough. It restores the tar and extends its life for far less than resurfacing. If there are potholes, wide cracks or the base has failed, you need repairs or new tar. We’ll tell you honestly which one you need.
Is a tar driveway better than paving?
Both last when they’re done properly. Tar is quick to lay and cost-effective over larger areas. Paving gives you more design options and can be repaired brick by brick. We do both, so we recommend what suits your property and budget, not what we prefer to sell.
Do you take on small jobs?
Yes. Big or small, we do it right: from a single driveway or a few potholes to estate roads, parking areas and industrial yards.
How quickly will I get a quote?
Within 24 hours. For smaller jobs, send us photos and we can often quote from those. For bigger jobs, we visit and measure for free at a time that suits you. Either way, you get a written, itemised quote within 24 hours.
What does your guarantee cover?
We guarantee the standard of our service during construction, and the quality of our workmanship and the end result after it.
Will the work disrupt my home, estate or business?
We phase the work around you. In estates, residents keep access; at shops and businesses, we plan around trading hours. You get a clear schedule before we start, and we deliver on time and within budget.
How long does a tar driveway take?
Most of the time goes into preparing the base properly, which is what makes a driveway last. Your quote includes a schedule for your job, including when you can drive on the new surface.
Which areas do you work in?
We’re based in Bellville and work across the Western Cape: the Northern Suburbs, the City and Southern Suburbs, Helderberg and the Winelands. We also take on larger projects further afield.
