HOW DO WE
LAY TARMAC DRIVEWAYS?
1
THE PROCESS OF LAYING A TARMAC DRIVEWAY BEGINS WITH THOROUGH SITE PREPARATION AND EXCAVATION. THIS INVOLVES CLEARING THE AREA OF ANY VEGETATION, DEBRIS AND OLD SURFACES BEFORE EXCAVATING.
2
DURING THIS STAGE, PROPER DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS ARE CAREFULLY ASSESSED AND IMPLEMENTED TO PREVENT FUTURE WATER POOLING. ONCE THE SITE IS PREPARED, A ROBUST SUB-BASE IS SPREAD AND COMPACTED TO PROVIDE A STABLE FOUNDATION.
3
A FINE LAYER OF CRUSHED STONE IS THEN ADDED, ENSURING PRECISE LEVELLING AND EVEN COMPACTION TO PREVENT SHIFTING OR UNEVENNESS OVER TIME.
4
THE FINAL STEP INVOLVES THE APPLICATION OF HOT TARMAC, WHICH IS EVENLY SPREAD ACROSS THE PREPARED BASE. PROFESSIONAL MACHINERY IS USED TO ROLL THE COMPACT TARMAC, CREATING A SMOOTH AND DURABLE SURFACE.
5
TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS, ALL JOINTS AND EDGES ARE SEALED TO ENHANCE LONGEVITY AND DELIVER A SEAMLESS, POLISHED FINISH.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TARMAC DRIVEWAYS?

KNOWN FOR ITS DURABILITY AND LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE, TARMAC CAN WITHSTAND HEAVY LAODS AND FREQUENT USE WITHOUT CRACKING AND SINKING.
ITS SMOOTH, SLEEK FINISH ENHANCES THE APPEARANCE OF ANY PROPERTY, BOOSTING KERB APPEAL.
TARMAC IS HIGHLY WEATHER-RESISTANT, CAPABLE OF ENDURING EXTREME TEMPERATURES AND HEAVY RAINFALL WITHOUT DETERIORATING.
ONE OF THE KEY ADVANTAGES IS ITS COST-EFFECTIVENESS - TARMAC IS OFTEN MORE AFFORDABLE TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN COMPARED TO OTHER DRIVEWAY MATERIALS.
ADDITIONALLY, THE QUICK INSTALLATION PROCESS MEANS MINIMAL DISRUPTION TO YOUR HOME, PROVIDING A PRACTICAL AND ATTRACTIVE SOLUTION FOR YOUR DRIVEWAY NEEDS.
