Why Mothetho Civils

Four reasons the right buyers stay with us

Gauteng has plenty of tarring teams. These are the four things tarring buyers tell us matter most — and what we hold ourselves to on every job.

Civil-Engineering Backed

We're a civil contractor first — base prep, compaction and finishing run to civil-engineering standards, not improvised on the day.

Free Site Visit, Same Week

For most Gauteng jobs we'll come measure within the week — you get a proper assessment, not a guess off a photo.

Written Quote in Days

Detailed, line-itemed quotes — so you can compare like-for-like and know exactly what's included before signing.

Same Crew, Prep To Handover

Our in-house team runs every job from setting-out through to final compaction — one team, accountable end-to-end.

What Clients Say

Gauteng tarring buyers, in their own words

4.9 average rating — from homeowners, body corporates & commercial sites

“Came out the same week, walked the whole driveway, gave us a proper written quote two days later. The finish is dead smooth — you can see the prep work was done right.”

“We've used three contractors over the years for our complex roads. Mothetho was the only one that didn't sub-let halfway through. Same team start to finish, surface still looks new.”

“Honest assessment — told us patching would be enough rather than pushing a full resurface. Saved us a lot of money and the patches are holding up perfectly.”

“Our business yard takes serious truck traffic. Their prep work and asphalt spec was clearly civil-engineering led — not just throwing tar down. Two years in, no cracking.”

“Site visit was on time, quote came back in three days with proper line items so I could compare. Crew was tidy, finished a day early. Will use them again.”

“Quoted on a 600m² parking area — clear scope, no surprises, no ‘extras’ once they started. Refreshing for a contractor in Gauteng. Highly recommend.”

How much does tar surfacing or asphalt paving cost?

It depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing surface, how much base prep is needed and access for plant. We don't quote off photos because that's how you get nasty surprises later. A free site visit + written quote is the only honest way to give a price — usually back to you within a few working days.

How long does a properly laid tar surface last?

A well-prepared tar or asphalt surface, on the right base, will give you 10–20+ years of service depending on traffic load, drainage and how it's maintained. Most failures we get called to actually started as base or drainage problems — which is why we don't skip prep.

Do you handle small domestic driveways or only big jobs?

Yes — domestic driveways are a normal part of what we quote. We handle home driveways, townhouse complexes, estate roads, business park yards and full road construction. Smaller residential jobs get the same civil-engineering-led method as the larger contracts.

What's included in your written quote?

Site visit findings, recommended scope, area and thickness, base prep, asphalt or tar wearing course, compaction, edge treatment, line-painting if needed, timeline and total price — line-itemed so you can compare quotes properly.

How long does a site visit take and is it really free?

Most site visits take 20–40 minutes depending on the size of the surface. There's no fee and no obligation — if our quote isn't the right fit for your job, you walk away with a clear assessment and we're still on good terms.

Will rain or Highveld weather affect when you can lay tar?

Hot-mix asphalt and tar need a dry, prepared surface to bond properly. We work around the weather — if rain is coming in we'll reschedule the lay-and-compact day rather than rush it and leave you with a surface that fails early. Site prep can usually continue regardless.

Which Gauteng areas do you cover?

Johannesburg, Sandton, Midrand, Randburg, Roodepoort, Soweto, Pretoria, Centurion, Kempton Park, Edenvale, Germiston, Boksburg, Benoni, Brakpan, Springs, Alberton and surrounding suburbs.
