GROUND & BASE
A stable, appropriately prepared base is essential for a hard-working driveway or access area.
TARMAC & DRIVEWAY SURFACING
Practical residential surfacing considered around the base, vehicle use, drainage, access and the shape of your property.
PRACTICAL SURFACING
PLANNED FOR THE WAY YOU USE IT
A driveway surface has to work with the ground beneath it and the traffic above it. Before recommending tarmac or another surfacing option, we consider the existing condition, access, intended vehicle use and how water will be managed.
That site-specific approach helps avoid treating every driveway as though it needs the same construction.
- Existing base and damaged areas assessed
- Vehicle access and intended use considered
- Edges, thresholds and drainage planned
- Surfacing recommendation explained before work begins
THE IMPORTANT PARTS
PREPARATION BEFORE THE FINISH
DRAINAGE & FALLS
Levels and water movement are considered before the finished surface is planned.
EDGES & CONNECTIONS
Kerbs, blocks, gates, garage thresholds and adjoining surfaces all need clean connections.
EQUIPPED FOR PREPARATION
FROM INITIAL ASSESSMENT TO FINAL CHECK
Good surfacing begins with understanding what is already there. We discuss the project, inspect the area and plan the preparation before confirming the most appropriate finish.
For mixed projects, resin-bound areas, paths or contrasting block details can also be discussed as part of the overall design.

SURFACING ANSWERS
Which surface is best for my driveway?
That depends on the base, drainage, appearance, intended use and budget. We assess the property before recommending a solution.
Can you surface a large parking area?
We can discuss residential parking and access areas. Send the postcode, approximate dimensions and photographs so the project can be assessed.
Do the edges need replacing?
Not always. Existing edges are checked for condition and suitability before a recommendation is made.
Can surfacing be combined with resin or blocks?
Different finishes can sometimes be coordinated, subject to the design, levels and suitability of each part of the site.
