About Us
Bay Of Plenty Asphalt Ltd has been delivering surfacing and civil construction services across the Bay of Plenty since 1973. Built on strong family values and a commitment to quality workmanship, we continue to help customers with projects ranging from small repairs through to large-scale civil and asphalt works.
The Bay Of Plenty Asphalt team is made up of a diverse group of experienced people who are specialists in their fields. We pride ourselves on ensuring our customers’ needs are met and that the final result delivers exactly what was envisioned.
Arthur & Sherrill Pratt started the company in 1973 after returning home from building roads in Papua New Guinea. Starting with only a wheelbarrow and a few hand tools, Arthur built the company into a well-known and trusted name throughout the Bay of Plenty.
Today, Bay Of Plenty Asphalt continues to operate with the same trusted local team and commitment to service, now with the additional support and capability of the Spray Marks NZ Group.
With a team of more than 40 staff and a fleet of heavy vehicles, rollers, excavators, and specialist equipment, we complete work ranging from pothole repairs to multi-million-dollar car parks and civil infrastructure projects.
We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality workmanship, excellent customer service, and ensuring minimal disruption to our customers and their properties.
