Ground Preparation

The initial step involves excavating the driveway area to around 180mm below the surface level, adjusting for any irregularities in the ground.

Edging Installation

To prevent the edges of the tarmac from cracking under vehicle pressure, robust concrete is installed as edging. This helps maintain the tarmac’s shape and integrity.

Surface Protection

Base Layering

Over the membrane,Class 1 MOT/803 quarried stone is spread….50mm of 20mm wearing course is installed then a top coat of 30mm of 6mm DENC or SMA tarmac.

Drainage System

Ensuring proper drainage is paramount for all driveway installations, including tarmac surfaces, to facilitate efficient water management. In the event of encountering drainage or utility systems during our work, rest assured that we will address and manage them professionally and effectively.
