Why Choose Asphalt or Tarmac?
Asphalt and tarmac are popular driveway choices where a clean, practical and hard-wearing finish is required. They can suit a wide range of properties and driveway layouts, from compact front gardens to longer access routes.
Suitable for Everyday Vehicle Use
With appropriate groundwork and preparation, an asphalt or tarmac driveway can provide a practical surface for regular household vehicle use, parking spaces and access routes.
Neat, Simple Appearance
A dark, smooth driveway surface can create a clean and understated finish that works well alongside brickwork, rendered homes, paths, walls, gates and planted borders.
Suitable for Larger Areas
Asphalt and tarmac can be a practical choice for larger driveways, private roads and shared access areas where a consistent surface is required.
Resurfacing Options
Where the existing driveway foundation is stable and suitable, resurfacing may be possible. Where there are issues with movement, drainage or the base beneath the surface, we will explain the preparation work needed before resurfacing.
Compatible With Other Materials
Tarmac or asphalt can be combined with block paving edging, kerbs, resin areas or gravel features to create defined entrances, borders and parking sections.
Our Driveway Installation Process
A long-lasting driveway starts with the correct preparation beneath the finished surface. The exact work required depends on the condition of the site, the chosen finish, drainage requirements and how the driveway will be used.
A typical asphalt or tarmac driveway project may include:
- A free site survey to assess the existing driveway, access, levels and drainage.
- Removal of the existing surface and excavation where required.
- Preparation and installation of a suitable sub-base.
- Installation of edging, kerbs or drainage features where needed.
- Laying the asphalt or tarmac surface to the agreed layout.
- A final check of the completed area and site tidy-up.
- We will explain the proposed work clearly before the project begins, so you understand what is included in the quotation.
Driveway Resurfacing in East Grinstead
Resurfacing can be an effective solution where an existing driveway has become worn, uneven or tired-looking but the foundation beneath it is still in suitable condition. It is not the right option for every driveway, particularly where there are significant drainage issues, sinking, movement or an unstable base.
During the site survey, we will assess the existing area and advise whether resurfacing is appropriate or whether excavation and reconstruction would provide the more reliable long-term solution.
Choosing the Right Driveway Surface
The best driveway material depends on the size and layout of the area, the condition of the existing ground, drainage, the number and type of vehicles using it, budget and the finish you would like to achieve.
- Asphalt and tarmac can provide a practical, neat surface for driveways, parking areas and access routes.
- Resin driveways offer a smooth decorative finish with a range of aggregate colours.
- Block paving allows for different patterns, colours, borders and individual block replacement.
- Hot bitumen and gravel can provide a traditional, natural-looking finish with good texture and grip.
