Tarmac driveways in Chester
Tarmac is the practical choice for a lot of Chester homes. It’s strong, quick to lay and good value, especially on larger or longer drives where the cost of other surfaces adds up. We finish most tarmac drives with block paved borders, which gives a clean edge and a smarter look than plain tarmac.
It suits bungalows and semis around Upton, Blacon and Saltney as well as larger plots on the edge of the city, and it’s a sensible option if the drive has a slope to it.

Why choose it
Why people choose a tarmac driveway
Good value
One of the most cost-effective ways to get a solid new driveway.
Hard-wearing
Handles heavy cars, vans and daily use without fuss.
Quick to lay
Most tarmac driveways are finished quickly, so there’s less disruption.
Low maintenance
A clean now and then, plus an occasional seal, keeps it looking good.
Good to know
Tarmac and drainage
Standard tarmac isn’t permeable, so the water needs somewhere to go. On most Chester frontages it can run onto a lawn or border, which keeps you within the planning rules. If you want to cover the whole front, we can add a channel drain or soakaway, or talk you through permeable options.

FAQs
Questions people ask
How long does a tarmac driveway last?
A well-laid tarmac driveway can last 15 to 20 years or more if it’s looked after.
Can I have block paved edging on a tarmac drive?
Yes. Most of our tarmac driveways have block paved borders, and you can choose the colour of the blocks.
Do I need planning permission for tarmac in Chester?
Not if the water drains onto a lawn or border. A non-permeable front driveway over 5m² with nowhere for water to go would need permission.
Is tarmac good for a sloping drive?
Yes. Tarmac grips well and doesn’t wash down a slope like gravel can.
