A Smooth, Strong Surface

Tarmac gives a clean, even driveway with no joints or gaps for weeds to push through. Laid and compacted well, it makes a strong surface that copes easily with cars coming and going every day. It is quick to lay and ready to use soon after, with a neat black finish.

More Information

Preparing the Ground

A tarmac drive is only as good as what is under it. We dig out and lay a solid, compacted base before the tarmac goes down. This is what carries the weight and stops the surface cracking or sinking. We never lay tarmac straight onto weak ground, so the drive lasts.

Draining Off Cleanly

Tarmac sheds water rather than soaking it up, so the drive has to be laid to drain the right way. We set the levels so rain runs off to a suitable point, not toward the house or garage. Good drainage keeps the surface sound and stops water pooling on it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can I use a tarmac driveway in Alton?

A new tarmac driveway in Alton can usually take foot traffic within a day and vehicles after a couple of days, once it has cooled and hardened. It is one of the quicker driveway surfaces to get back in use. We give you clear guidance on timing when the job is done.

Do tarmac driveways need planning permission in Alton?

Tarmac is a non-permeable surface, so a tarmac driveway over five square metres in Alton may need planning permission unless drainage is added to manage the run-off. We can build in suitable drainage to keep the drive compliant, and advise on this when we quote for your driveway.

How long does a tarmac driveway last in Alton?

A well-laid tarmac driveway in Alton can last many years with little upkeep, as long as it sits on a solid base and drains properly. The base is what makes the difference. We prepare the ground carefully so your drive stays smooth and crack-free for as long as possible.
