Why consider tarmac?
A straightforward surface for a busy driveway
Tarmac offers a clean, consistent appearance and can work particularly well where the priority is a practical vehicle area with simple lines.
Uncluttered finish
The continuous dark surface creates a restrained look that can sit comfortably beside many styles of home.
Suited to vehicle areas
With a suitable base and specification, tarmac is a practical choice for regular access and parking.
Works with contrasting edges
Block or kerb edging can frame the surface, define boundaries and add detail at paths or entrances.
A considered foundation
The finished surface depends on the work beneath it
We fully excavate existing driveways and install suitable new foundations before the tarmac finish. Your survey covers the driveway layout, levels, drainage and edging so the written quotation sets out the complete installation.
- Existing ground and sub-base condition
- Vehicle use and driveway layout
- Levels, falls and adjoining thresholds
- Drainage, edges and transitions
Plan the whole area
Practical details that shape the result
A simple surface still benefits from careful decisions about access, edges and the way water moves across the space.
Parking and turning
Consider the number of vehicles, regular movements and how people reach the front door or side access.
Drainage route
Falls and drainage need to direct water appropriately without creating problems at thresholds or boundaries.
Edges and transitions
Plan how tarmac meets the pavement, garage, paths, walls, planting and any other surface materials.

Tarmac driveway questions
Frequently asked questions
Is tarmac suitable for a residential driveway?
It can be a practical option for residential parking and access when the build-up, drainage and edges are appropriate for the site and expected use.
Can tarmac be laid over an existing driveway?
No. We do not overlay existing driveways. Our new tarmac driveways include full excavation and suitable new foundations, with levels, drainage and edging planned for your property.
Can tarmac have a decorative border?
Yes. Contrasting blocks or kerbs can frame the tarmac, define paths and introduce colour or texture.
How is water managed on a tarmac driveway?
Falls and any drainage features should be planned for the property so water has an appropriate route away from sensitive areas.
How should tarmac be maintained?
Keep the surface clear of debris and address spills or damage appropriately. Maintenance advice should reflect the finished driveway and its use.
How long will installation take?
Timing depends on the size, access, preparation, drainage, edging and weather. The site survey provides the basis for a realistic estimate.
