Tarmacadam is a suitable material for your driveway installation.  It is extremely durable and requires very little maintenance.

A variety of edgings can be used, using a variety of materials, colours, shapes and sizes.

The beauty of using tarmac is that not only can it be repaired, if necessary, but it can also be re-surfaced.

It is also commonly used for highly trafficked areas such as forecourts, car parks, school playgrounds, driveways, as well as private roads.

 

Of all the different types of surfacing which can be used to construct a driveway or car park then tarmacadam is considered the budget option, especially when compared to block paving, or pattern imprinted concrete.

However, whilst large areas can be economically resurfaced the cost of using tarmac for a small driveway can be comparable to the more aesthetically pleasing block paving.
