Tar Driveway Installation

A new tar driveway is one of those jobs that's easy to get wrong if the base isn't prepared properly. We handle complete installations for residential and commercial driveways, from clearing and levelling the site through to the final rolled finish.

How it works

Our process

  • Site inspection

    We come out and look at the ground, drainage, and access, and talk through what you want before quoting.

  • Excavation and levelling

    The site is cleared, levelled, and shaped to the correct falls so water runs off instead of pooling.

  • Base compaction

    A proper sub-base layer is laid and compacted. This is the step that determines how long your driveway lasts.

  • Tar laying and rolling

    The tar surface is laid to the right thickness and compacted with a roller for a smooth, solid finish.

  • Edging and clean-up

    Edges are neatened, offcuts and rubble are cleared, and the site is left tidy.

Worth knowing

Ground conditions vary a lot across the Midlands, clay soil in some areas needs extra base preparation compared to sandier ground. We'll flag anything like this during the site visit so there are no surprises once we start.
