Are you planning a construction, landscaping, or surfacing project in Bishops Cleeve? At BJ Surfacing, we provide professional excavation, groundworks, and paving services for domestic and commercial clients throughout the local area. From site preparation and drainage solutions to patios, resin drives, block paving, and tarmac driveways, our experienced team delivers practical solutions designed to support successful projects from the ground up.

We also specialise in the installation of council-approved dropped kerbs and low-maintenance artificial grass.

As a family-run business based in Cheltenham, we have more than 40 years of combined industry experience and a reputation for quality workmanship. Established in 2018, our medium-sized team completes all work in-house, allowing us to maintain high standards on every project. Whether you require a paving contractor for a new driveway or specialists to undertake excavation and groundwork preparation, BJ Surfacing has the expertise and equipment to help.

Every successful construction or landscaping project starts with proper preparation. Groundworks create the foundations that support driveways, patios, buildings, and external spaces, helping to ensure long-term stability and performance.

Without adequate preparation, surfaces can become uneven, drainage issues may develop, and future repairs can become costly. Our experienced team carries out all aspects of groundworks, ensuring every project begins with a solid foundation.

Our groundworks services include:

  • Site Preparation
  • Foundation Works
  • Drainage Installation
  • Land Drainage Solutions
  • Utility Trenches
  • Ground Levelling
  • Hard Standing Preparation
  • Soil Removal & Muckaway Services
  • Garden Regrading
  • Surface Water Management

Many homeowners contact us when planning a new driveway or patio, only to discover that excavation and groundwork preparation are also required. Our team can manage every stage of the process, ensuring the finished installation performs as well as it looks.

Whether you’re installing resin drives, upgrading to block paving, creating a new patio, or improving access with dropped kerbs, we ensure the groundwork beneath the surface is completed correctly. This attention to detail helps maximise durability and reduce the likelihood of future problems.

We also support landscaping projects through ground preparation, drainage solutions, and artificial grass installations, creating attractive outdoor environments that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
