- 20+ Years Experience
- Own Crew and Plant
- One Contractor, Every Stage
Looking for civil construction companies in Gauteng you can actually trust?
- Is your private road or parking area rutting, potholing or breaking up less than two years after it was built?
- Did the last contractor blame "the surface" when the real problem was the base underneath it, or split the job between subcontractors who blamed each other?
- Does water pond on your yard, road or parking area every time it rains, because the drainage was built to a spec that copes with light rain and floods on the first real Highveld storm?
- Do you have no real idea whether the crew standing on your site actually works for the company that gave you the quote, or worry the start date will slip once a job closer to their yard comes up?
- Do you want one written quote, from one contractor, before anything gets dug up?
Why Tarworks
You should not need three contractors, or pay twice, for the same road.
We run civil construction with the same 15-person crew and in-house plant we use across tarring, paving and sports courts, so the team that digs the road can also surface it. Germiston sits directly against Johannesburg's eastern boundary, so that same crew and plant simply load up and travel through to reach East Rand and Johannesburg sites, rather than a second branch or a subcontracted stand-in being needed. You get a free, written quote before anything starts, and one price whether you're a homeowner, a body corporate or a municipality.
Residential, commercial, industrial and municipal. Government and private clients.
What we do
Complete Civil Construction Services
Private Road Construction
We build private and estate roads for complexes, farms and industrial sites, from the earthworks up, not just surfaced over.
Read moreSpeed Bump Construction
Speed bumps built to a profile and height that suit the road and traffic, and slow it without damaging vehicles.
Read moreParking Area Construction
New parking areas built from the ground up: excavation, drainage and surfacing, sized to the vehicle load they actually carry.
Read moreKerb Installation
Concrete and natural stone kerbing laid to line and level, restraining edges and directing stormwater into channels.
Read moreRoad Markings
Line marking for parking bays, aisles, disabled bays, arrows, crossings and speed bumps, applied clearly, not guessed.
Read moreWater Channel Construction
Concrete stormwater channels, side drains and inlets sized to move the water a real Highveld storm generates.
Read moreEarthworks and Site Preparation
Bulk excavation, cut, fill, grading and compaction to bring a site to level, because this step decides the result.
Read moreHow it works
Three steps, and the first one is free.
Book a free site visit
We come out, assess the ground and drainage, and give you a written quote. No charge, and no pressure to sign anything on the day.
We get the earthworks, layerworks and drainage right
This is the step a cheap quote skips, and it's why roads and parking areas fail early. We compact the base to the traffic it will carry and size the drainage to what the site actually needs, before anything is surfaced.
We finish the job, and we stay reachable
Kerbing, drainage, surfacing and marking, handed over as one job, with a contractor you can still call afterwards, wherever in Gauteng the site is.
The earthworks, layerworks and drainage are the step that decides whether this road or parking area lasts. The free site visit costs nothing and tells you exactly what your site needs before any work, or any payment, starts.
Get a QuoteIs This You?
Civil Construction in Gauteng Is Right for You If...
We'd rather tell you what the ground needs, and travel to your site ourselves with our own crew, than hand you a quote that only covers what's easy to see or farm the job out to someone we don't know.
- Your private road or parking area is rutting, potholing or breaking up less than two years after it was built
- A previous contractor blamed "the surface" when the real problem was the base underneath it, or split the job between subcontractors who blamed each other
- Water ponds on your yard, road or parking area every time it rains, because the drainage was built to cope with light rain, not a real Highveld storm
- You've watched a start date slip because the crew and machines got pulled onto a job closer to the contractor's own yard
- You want to know the crew standing on your site actually works for the company that quoted you, not day labour hired in for the job
- You've had earthworks, drainage, kerbing and surfacing quoted by three different companies, none of whom will take responsibility for another's work
- You want one written quote, from one contractor, before anything gets dug up, with no payment required upfront for materials
Book your free site visit, and put the rutting, ponding and finger-pointing behind you for good. It's a free, no-pressure quote, not a sales pitch.
What you can hold us to
The part most contractors will not put in writing
One contractor, every stage
Earthworks, drainage, kerbing, surfacing and marking run on one programme with the same crew, not handed between subcontractors who blame each other when something fails.
Our own crew and plant
The people who build your site are our own staff, not day labour, and the excavators, rollers and compaction equipment are ours too, so the programme isn't held up waiting on hired plant or a crew pulled onto a job closer to someone else's yard.
20+ years of civil experience
Two decades building and surfacing in Germiston and the East Rand, with the same base-first approach behind every Gauteng job.
Free, written, on-site quotes
We measure the site and quote in writing before anything starts, with no payment upfront for materials, and price the same job the same way regardless of who is paying for it.

Client stories
Do not take our word for it
We have worked with Tarworks construction in our projects. We would recommend anyone to them as they have not let us down. Their team coordinate so well and the standard of their work is great.
A year ago we got Tarworks to tar our driveway. A year later it still looks good. We used them for the second time this year. We are happy with the work that the team has done. Would recommend them.
