A Popular Choice
Tarmac driveways are a popular choice for homeowners and businesses alike due to their durability, affordability, and sleek appearance. These driveways are constructed by layering a mixture of crushed stones and bitumen, which is then compacted and smoothed to create a smooth and robust surface.
Tarmac driveways are highly resistant to the wear and tear caused by heavy vehicles, making them an ideal choice for both residential and commercial properties. Their ability to endure harsh weather conditions, such as rain, snow, and heat, ensures that they maintain their integrity and functionality for many years.
What are the benefits of tarmac driveways?
An advantage of tarmac driveways is their cost-effectiveness. They are typically more budget-friendly compared to some other driveway materials, making them an excellent choice for those seeking quality and longevity without breaking the bank. Tarmac driveways are also relatively quick to install, minimising disruption to your daily routine.
How do we lay tarmac driveways?
Step 1:
Preparation and Excavation
We’ll start by preparing the site for the tarmac driveway installation. This includes clearing the area of any debris, vegetation, and old surfaces. We’ll then excavate the ground to the required depth to create a solid base for the driveway. Proper drainage considerations will be taken into account during this stage.
Step 2:
Sub-base and Base Layer
Our team will then lay and compact a layer of aggregate, typically MOT Type 1, to create a stable sub-base. Ensuring even compaction is crucial to prevent settling and unevenness.
We will then spread and compact a layer of finer crushed stone, which serves as the base layer for the tarmac. This layer will be carefully levelled to create a smooth and uniform surface.
Step 3:
Tarmac Application
We will then apply the hot tarmac mix evenly across the prepared base layer. Timing is crucial here, as the mix must be laid and compacted while it’s still hot and malleable.
Our experts will then use heavy machinery to roll and compact the tarmac, ensuring it’s evenly spread and levelled for a smooth finish. Any joints or seams will be meticulously sealed.
