What are the benefits of a tarmac driveway?
Tarmac driveways offer several advantages, making them a popular choice for homeowners:
- Durability: Tarmac is known for its long-lasting nature, withstanding the test of time with proper care.
- Ease of Installation: Laying tarmac is straightforward on a flat, prepared surface, allowing for quick installation.
- Weather Resistance: It performs exceptionally well under various weather conditions, from intense sun to freezing temperatures.
- Uniform Appearance: Tarmac provides a smooth, uniform look that many homeowners appreciate.
- Low Maintenance: Taking care of a tarmac driveway is relatively easy, with repairs being straightforward to manage.
What are the disadvantages of a tarmac driveway?
Despite its benefits, there are some drawbacks to consider:
- Pothole Formation: Over time, tarmac can develop potholes, especially in areas with heavy vehicle traffic.
- Moss Growth: In conditions where it doesn’t dry out properly, moss can grow on the surface.
- Weed Damage: Weeds can break through tarmac, leading to cracks and compromising its integrity.
If tarmac isn’t the look you want for your home, you might want to consider concrete, brick, stone or resin driveways.
How do I know if the job has been done well?
A well-executed tarmac driveway should display:
- Proper Preparation: The ground should be correctly prepared before laying the tarmac.
- Smoothness and Evenness: The surface should be smooth and even, with no bumps or irregularities.
- Complete Coverage: Tarmac should fully cover the intended area, with no gaps or missing sections.

Other tarmac driveway FAQs
Does tarmac add to the value of a house?
Yes, a well-maintained tarmac driveway can enhance the curb appeal and value of your property.
Do you need planning permission for tarmac?
In many cases, planning permission is not required for tarmac driveways, but it’s essential to check local regulations, especially for new or significantly altered driveways.
Does water drain through tarmac?
Standard tarmac is not permeable, but porous asphalt options allow water to drain through, reducing runoff and the risk of flooding.

There isn’t enough space on here to describe how happy I am and stress free Rob and his team made the process. I had a major extension to the rear and side of the home which meant I wasn't able to use the bottom area of my home at all.

I’m very happy with the work, the finishing and everything else. Choose Rob and his team and you can’t go wrong
