Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. The team did an outstanding job on my driveway and the final result looks fantastic. They were professional, reliable, and worked efficiently while keeping everything tidy. The quality of the workmanship is top-class and they took the time to explain everything clearly before starting. I couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out and have already had compliments from neighbours. I would highly recommend this surfacing company to anyone looking for a high-quality driveway.Posted on Google![]()

We are absolutely delighted with the resin bound driveway laid by Lakeside Surfacing Ltd at our property in Sudbury, Suffolk. From start to finish, the service was professional, efficient, and friendly. David, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with from the outset. He was knowledgeable, approachable, and kept us well informed throughout the entire process. The team were punctual, hardworking, and clearly very skilled at what they do. They took great care with preparation, kept the site tidy throughout, and the quality of the finished driveway is outstanding. The resin surface looks fantastic, has completely transformed the front of our property, and has already received lots of compliments. Everything was completed on time and exactly as agreed, which made the whole experience stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lakeside Surfacing Ltd to anyone considering a resin bound driveway or surfacing work. A first-class job from David and his team.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
