Tarmac Driveways
Tarmac is one of the most cost-effective ways to surface a driveway, especially a large one, and a properly laid tarmac drive lasts for years with very little upkeep. We lay it hot over a prepared base and roll it to a smooth, even finish, with block or stone edgings to keep the edges crisp.
- Excavation and a compacted sub-base, or an overlay of a sound existing surface
- Machine and hand-laid tarmac rolled to a smooth finish
- Block or kerb edgings to define and protect the edges
- Drainage falls set into the surface
- An optional coloured or decorative topping
Our process
Our process, step by step
How your project runs, from the first visit to the finished job.
- 1
Survey and quote
We check the ground and existing surface, then price the work in writing.
- 2
Prepare the base
We either dig out and compact a fresh sub-base, or check the surface already there is sound enough to take an overlay.
- 3
Lay and roll
The material goes down hot and is rolled while it is still workable, which is what closes the surface up.
- 4
Edge and finish
We set edgings and drainage, then clear the site.
