What preparation is required before laying a tarmac driveway?
We begin every installation with full groundwork preparation, which includes excavation, laying a durable sub-base (typically MOT Type 1), and compacting it before applying the binder and surface tarmac layers. This ensures a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Do your tarmac driveway installations include drainage solutions?
Yes – drainage is a vital part of any driveway installation. We incorporate proper surface water management using ACO drains, sloped gradients, or permeable options where necessary to meet UK regulations and prevent pooling. Ensuring adequate drainage is in place protects your property, helps prevent weeds, moss and algae from forming on your driveway surface, and also longevity of your new drive.

We offer both classic black tarmac and red tarmac finishes, along with options to enhance your driveway using block paving borders, edgings, or entrance patterns. These features create a modern, attractive look with added durability.

Can I add block paving borders or entrance features to a tarmac driveway?
Absolutely. Combining tarmac with block paving edgings, kerbs, or apron-style entrances adds a stylish, bespoke look to your driveway. It’s one of the most popular upgrades we offer.
