Why Choose Tarmac for Your Driveway in Bedfordshire?

Tarmac (also known as asphalt) is a popular choice for driveways and surfaces, and for good reason. Here are some of the top benefits of choosing tarmac for your property:

1

Durability

Tarmac is known for its strength and longevity. It can withstand heavy loads and regular use without cracking or crumbling.

2

Low Maintenance

Once installed, the tarmac requires minimal maintenance. Occasional sealing and simple cleaning keep it looking fresh.

3

Affordability

Tarmac is one of the most cost-effective materials for driveways, making it an affordable choice that doesn’t compromise quality.

4

Quick Installation

Tarmac can be laid quickly compared to other materials, meaning less disruption and a faster turnaround time.

5

Weather Resistance

Tarmac is particularly suited to Bedfordshire’s varied climate. It resists rain, snow, and ice, providing a safe and reliable surface year-round.

Tarmac Driveway Installation

A new tarmac driveway can transform the front of your property, adding value and improving accessibility. Our installation service includes:

  • Site Preparation: We prepare the site by levelling the ground, ensuring proper drainage, and compacting the soil for a stable base.

Custom Edging and Borders: For added definition, we offer a range of edging options, including block paving or stone borders, enhancing the look of your driveway.

Tarmac Resurfacing

If your driveway is worn or damaged, resurfacing with tarmac is a cost-effective way to restore its appearance and functionality. Our tarmac resurfacing service includes:

  • Surface Preparation: We repair cracks, holes, and uneven areas, ensuring a smooth foundation for the new tarmac layer.
  • Resurfacing Application: A fresh layer of high-quality tarmac is applied over the existing surface, instantly renewing the look and performance.
  • Professional Sealing: After the tarmac has been set, we apply a sealant to enhance longevity, weather resistance, and colour retention.

Tarmac Repairs and Maintenance

We offer a range of maintenance and repair services to keep your tarmac surface in top condition. Our tarmac repair services include:

  • Pothole Repairs: Prompt pothole repair prevents further damage and restores your driveway or surface safety.
  • Crack Sealing: We fill and seal cracks to prevent water ingress and extend the life of your tarmac surface.
  • Edge Repairs: If edges or borders become worn, we can repair or reinforce them to maintain a neat, finished look.

Custom Edging and Borders for Tarmac Driveways

Add an extra touch of style to your tarmac driveway with custom edging and borders. Paveway Drives and Patios offers various options that can complement your driveway and enhance its overall appearance:

  • Block Paving Edging: Block paving creates a striking contrast with the dark colour of the tarmac, providing a polished, professional look.
  • Natural Stone Borders: Stone borders add a touch of elegance and integrate seamlessly with garden features and pathways.
  • Concrete or Brick Edges: These durable options give your driveway a clean, modern finish and protect edges from wear.

Custom edging enhances the look of your driveway, adds structure, and prevents wear along the edges, extending the lifespan of your tarmac surface.

The Tarmac Installation Process

Our tarmac installation process is designed to provide a hassle-free experience and ensure a flawless result. Here’s how we bring your tarmac project to life:

Consultation and Planning

During the initial consultation, we assess your site, discuss your requirements, and recommend the best approach for your tarmac surface. We’ll discuss options for layout, edging, and finishes to ensure the result meets your expectations.

Site Preparation

A strong foundation is essential for a durable tarmac surface. Our team prepares the site by:

  • Levelling and compacting the ground.
  • Ensuring adequate drainage to prevent water pooling.
  • Adding a sub-base layer for extra stability.

Tarmac Application

Once the site is prepared, we apply the tarmac in layers. Each layer is compacted to create a solid, even surface. This method ensures the tarmac is highly resilient and capable of regular use.

Finishing Touches

We add any requested finishing touches, such as borders or sealants, and give the tarmac time to cure. After curing, the surface is ready for use and will provide a smooth, visually appealing finish.
