How We Build
Foundations done right.
A tarmac driveway is only as good as what's underneath it. Proper foundation work is the difference between a surface that lasts two decades and one that cracks in two winters.
- 01Excavate Strip back the existing surface to a clean, stable sub-grade — removing soft spots, roots, and debris.
- 02Lay geotextile membrane Laid across the sub-grade to prevent weed growth and stop the sub-base mixing with the soil below.
- 03Spread & compact sub-base 100-150mm of MOT Type 1 limestone, spread and compacted with industrial rollers to create a rigid, load-bearing foundation.
- 04Lay the tarmac 50-75mm of hot-rolled asphalt, machine-laid and rolled smooth. Edged cleanly against kerbs and boundaries.
