Tarmacacadam Services

We provide many different tarmacadam services to both residential and commercial properties. Our dedicated workforce install, and also repair and upgrade tarmacadam driveways.

Standard Tarmacadam driveways typically come with discrete concrete edging, but this can be rather easily replaced with block paving. This helps outline your tarmacadam driveway and provide it with extra stability.

There are a variety of edgings to choose from and block pave provides a wide choice of colours, shapes and sizes to choose from.

Tarmacadam is a strong, durable and easy to maintain product.

It is used for driveways, paths as well as for road surfacing.

Building a Tarmac Driveway

Preparation is the key to building a tarmac driveway.

The existing area is dug out to a specific depth, in order to handle vehicles to drive or park on it.

Hard core is laid, leveled and impacted. Sharp sand is laid, leveled and impacted.

Edgings and any drainage that is required is installed.

A variety of edgings can be used for an added secure finish, and to contrast with the black or red tarmac colour.

Block pave edgings are a popular choice, which are available in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes

 

Tarmac is laid, leveled and a roller is used to the final smooth, level surface that is required.

A door step can be incorporated into the design, if required.

The finished product - a nice smooth level driveway.
