Why Choose Harrow Driveways
What Is a Tarmac Driveway?
Tarmac, also known as tarmacadam, is a hard-wearing surface made from crushed stone mixed with bitumen and compacted to create a smooth, weather-resistant finish. It is widely used for driveways, roads, car parks, and pathways due to its durability and ability to withstand heavy use.
A professionally installed tarmac driveway offers a clean, modern appearance while providing a robust surface suitable for daily vehicle traffic. When installed correctly on a solid sub-base, tarmac can last for decades with minimal maintenance.
Why Choose a Tarmac Driveway?
Tarmac driveways offer a range of practical and aesthetic benefits, making them an excellent option for many properties:
Highly durable – ideal for cars, vans, and heavier vehicles
Cost-effective compared to other driveway materials
Quick installation with minimal disruption
Smooth, neat finish that enhances kerb appeal
Low maintenance and easy to repair
Weather resistant, performing well in all UK conditions
Tarmac is particularly suitable for larger driveways, shared access areas, and commercial premises where strength and reliability are essential.
Our Tarmac Driveway Installation Process
At Harrow Driveways, we follow a proven installation process to ensure every tarmac driveway is built to last.
1. Site Assessment & Preparation: We begin with a thorough assessment of your property, taking into account drainage, access, ground conditions, and usage requirements. Existing surfaces are removed where necessary, and the ground is excavated to the correct depth.
2. Sub-Base Installation: A strong foundation is essential for a long-lasting driveway. We install a high-quality MOT Type 1 sub-base, compacted in layers to provide excellent load-bearing strength and prevent future movement or sinking.
3. Edging & Drainage: Where required, we install solid edging using block paving or concrete kerbs to give your driveway a clean finish and additional structural support. Proper drainage solutions are also incorporated to prevent standing water and comply with regulations.
4. Tarmac Application: Hot tarmac is laid evenly and compacted using professional machinery to create a smooth, seamless surface. We ensure consistent thickness and an even finish throughout the driveway.
5. Final Checks & Completion: Once installed, we carry out final checks to ensure the surface meets our high standards. After curing, your driveway is ready for use, delivering a strong and visually appealing result.
