Asphalt is a generic term for all types of coated materials including Macadams, Hot Rolled Asphalt, Stone Mastic Asphalt and Proprietary Thin Surfacings.
Your newly laid asphalt surface will at first appear bright and bold in appearance, and will at have an increased surface tension due to the use of oil-based products within the material. This can cause rainwater to flow less quickly as it drains.
This appearance will soften over time as it is subjected to the elements, which also creates a slightly rougher texture to the surface giving better resistance to skidding and slipping, particularly when wet.

Edwards Surfacing  resurfaced our driveway and it looks amazing.  Very professional service, both when offering a quotation and then actually doing the work too.  No mess and a very happy customer :)

Edwards Surfacing is a family run, I met the Edwards family socially at first, the service they deliver is outstanding, they dealt with everything professionally and were always on hand to resolve any issues. Fantastic service and a great business to deal with, a real joy!

I was introduced to Simon Edwards at my excellent local pub (The Mitre) and discussed our requirements for a new driveway. Simon was meticulous and listened carefully to the problems we had had, and how a new solution from Edwards Surfacing would enhance the frontage of our property. After a number of further consultations, work began and was completed in a matter of 48 hours. The result was no less than transformational. We are very pleased with the quality, professionalism and the overall aesthetic. I can highly recommend Edwards Surfacing to anyone considering a new driveway. We consider this a long term investment with a reputable firm, I know they will look after us.

We have used Edward’s Surfacing for many projects on the estate, from large commercial car parks, to residential driveways, we have always been very impressed with the service. From quote, to prep, to install, the communication has always been excellent with Tom and the team acting professionally and efficiently.

We had a large drive project done by Edwards Surfacing in May 2025 near Cambridge. Great service from the initial visit through the quotation to completion. Steve, Martin, Dave and the rest of the site team were all friendly, knowledgeable and hardworking. The work was done in the timescale agreed and the neighbours very happy with how the lads were flexible with moving vans / plant that blocked any access points. The new drive looks great! Thanks again.

Edwards Surfacing have just finished my shared drive after four days of hard work in the heat. The guys were punctual, professional and a pleasure to have around and they did a great job without issues. The company was very good to deal with in all departments. I would definitely recommend them.
