We started prep work on this drive at the end of last year, and completed the resin layer now the better weather is here. I love this drive, and the photo doesn't do it justice. If you choose resin, it doesn't mean you can't begin your prep work in the winter months. Some people choose to do this for example if they have gravel drives, or muddied areas from building works and during those winter months get fed up of traipsing dirt into their house (especially if they have had new flooring!)
So we can start the prep, do the edgings, any flower bed gravel, the first tarmac course, this gives you a clean drive, and in this case an extended drive for multiple cars in time for Christmas! We can then return in the Spring and Summer to lay the resin.

Sorry for the terrible work in Canva to showcase this, it is 4.59pm and I am logging off to collect the kids!

Let us know if you want any further details on resin and how you can choose a colour combination that works for you. You would be amazed how many different looks can be achieved with the different colours of resin and types of border!

And just like that our Easter break is finished; our crews are back on the roads and our estimators are back in. Any queries will be dealt with as soon as possible and appointments made to see you.

Enjoy another one of our fantastic reviews! I will get round to taking some driveway photos for you to look at, I promise! In the meantime check out our website for more information on what we do www.johnsonsurfacing.co.uk

I hope, for any of you parents out there, that your first week of the Easter holidays has brought fun and hopefully some moments of peace. Here's to the next week, filled with joy, moments to yourself to regroup, and minimal meltdowns/sibling squabbles!

For us, we (Seb, me and the kids) are due back from the South East coast on Saturday where we will have hopefully had some sunshine, lots of sea air, fish and chips galore, and won enough tickets on the arcades for more than 2 sweets each and a bouncy ball that we will lose as soon as we leave the arcades!

Happy Easter 🐑🐇🐥

Set up in 1992 by Philip and Heather, Johnson Surfacing Ltd has now been in business for 34 years.

Our longest serving employee has been with us an incredible 27 years and our second longest serving employee is celebrating 23 years with us!

Despite being in his 70s (don't tell him I told you) Philip is still busy here at Johnson Surfacing, and was joined 18 years ago by his Son Sebastian. Over the years you may have met them as they are our estimators who work with domestic and commercial clients.

A big thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years, and who continue to choose us, recommend us, and write reviews for us, as well as those returning clients both in businesses, and those of you who have had us return to your new homes to do drives again.

Here's to the next 34, when Sebastian and I will be in our 70s and perhaps our Son and Daughter will have taken control!

Don't forget the clocks 'spring' forward this weekend, sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning.
This post is also to let you know that Johnson Surfacing is now closed for our annual Easter shut down. This means our crews are having a well earned rest as are our estimators (and me!) Our phones and emails will be answered Tuesday 31st March to Thursday 2nd April.
See you when we get back!

As a small family owned and family run business, we like to support other small, family, and where possible, local, businesses.

Our working relationship with aGeek started a couple of years ago after being let down by our then IT provider who were a big firm who didn't understand our needs as a small business.

Having previously gotten to know aGeek through their expertise in domestic electrical repair (an ancient DVD player connected to a surround sound, and a broken tablet courtesy of a 2 year old) we also knew they had expanded into serving businesses for everything I.T.

A couple of meetings later, we were signed up and swapped over.

We highly recommend them to everyone we meet; whether it is for business I.T support or signposting all and sundry to their shop on West Bars roundabout for Console, Apple iMac, Macbook, PC, Laptop, Mobile or electronics repair.

As they say, whatever you need, they have a Geek for it!

When I am looking for a business to carry out work for me at home, reviews/ratings is one of the first things I look at. But these days you can't take these star ratings at face value.

I recently came across a business page with thousands of followers despite only being set up less than a year. Not only that but they had 5 star reviews, hundreds of them. When I delved deeper, I discovered the signs of them being purchased or automated.

Here are some of the signs of a scam when it comes to reviews:
❌Reviews posted in short bursts of time
❌Repetitive wording or identical/copy and paste phrasing
❌Profiles with no photos, posts or recent creation dates
❌Overly positive (or overly negative) with no detail

Make sure to verify the business before trusting what you see:
☑️Check multiple review platforms
☑️Don't just trust star ratings, look deeper into the reviews, look for details and balanced reviews

Fake engagement is becoming more common but a few quick checks can help you find a genuine business.

The ideal time to jet wash your block paved drive really comes down to weather, which in the UK can be unpredictable to say the least!

This is just a guide, and needs adapting around the weather forecasts.

🌤️The best time of year is late spring to early autumn, so April to September.
This time of year means there is less chance of frost which can damage the freshly cleaned joints, and you can re sand the joints without rain washing it out. It also means the weather is warm enough for the blocks to dry.

⏰The best time of day would be morning or late afternoon. In the summer the midday heat can cause the surface to dry too fast and leave patchy results. Make sure you pick a dry and mild day with no rain forecast for at least 24 hours.

❓How often you jet wash depends on how heavily used your drive is or if it is susceptible to moss or shade. Once or twice a year usually enough.

❄️Avoid jet washing in winter as water can freeze in the joints and cause movement!

❗️Always remember to re-sand with kiln dried sand after washing to keep the blocks stable!

Seb is one of our Directors and has been with Johnson Surfacing since leaving University (a long long time ago) where he gained his BSc in Civil Engineering. He is one of our Estimators and he frequently gets mentioned by name in our Derbyshire Trusted Trader reviews.

When Seb is at home he is in fun Dad mode with our children. He is also chief photographer so there are very few photos I can find of just him, hence the family selfie!

Happy Birthday Sebastian 🎉🥳🎂

I can't promise great jokes but I can assure you we have the most hard working, polite, reliable, professional, friendly, helpful and highly skilled team around!

From initial contact we don't pressure you into a sell, we won't price high and knock off 10k for a 'deal you can't refuse', we won't sit in your house persuading you to choose us. We will come out, have a chat, make any recommendations and suggestions, and send you a quote. If you have any questions after that, or if you have had other quotes and want to discuss the differences, we are here to help you make the right choice for you.

Once you've given us the go ahead, one of our teams will be out to work their magic, to turn your dream into reality. However, as I said earlier, I can't promise the best jokes 😉

Most companies these days maintain a social media presence; either employing a dedicated social media person(s) or the role is shared amongst HR, marketing and communications. There are even companies/agencies who specialise in developing social media marketing strategies and/or managing social media to help businesses grow their online presence and drive engagement!

However, you are stuck with me instead! As the HR and Operations Manager, I am social media, marketing, HR and communications!

I have set myself a few SMART objectives this year ( ) and social media is one of my headings. Starting small, growing throughout the year, until hopefully I have devised a strategy that works for us.

Our reviews online show our values and I don't want our social media posts to become overly corporate or repetitive, or outsource them to someone who doesn't know us. We are a family owned family run business and I hope to show our professionalism and personality through our posts. Helping you make the decision to choose us, and feel like you already have an idea about who we are before you even pick up the phone... or if you're like me it'll be an online enquiry!

Here's my first, rather late post of 2026. Stay tuned for the next few posts, I hope to catch up on some reviews, get some new before and after photos out, as well as any advice, or answer and frequently asked questions!
