Why tarmac?
A tough, tidy driveway that won’t break the bank
Tarmac is one of the most practical driveway surfaces you can choose. It’s strong enough for cars and vans, copes well with British weather and costs less to lay than most other surfaces.
We finish most tarmac drives with block paved borders, which keeps the edges crisp and gives the driveway a smarter look than plain tarmac on its own.

FAQs
Tarmac driveway questions
Short answers to the things people ask us most about tarmac.
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.
Is tarmac good for a sloping driveway?
Yes. Tarmac grips well and is a good choice for sloping drives where loose surfaces can wash down.
How do I look after a tarmac driveway?
Keep it clear of leaves and oil spills, clean it now and then, and have it sealed occasionally to protect the surface.
Can I have decorative edging?
Yes. Most of our tarmac drives have block paved borders, and you can pick the colour of the blocks.
How long does it take?
Most tarmac driveways are finished quickly. We’ll give you a timescale for your drive when we quote.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
No. There’s no deposit and you pay when the job is finished. Finance is also available.
