Our Asphalt and Tarmacadam Surfacing Process

With over 30 years of experience in residential and commercial groundworks, our team understand what it takes to deliver the highest work on each project.

We have experience working on various tarmac and asphalt projects across South London and Surrey, including driveways, forecourts, and car parks. Our projects include domestic and commercial clients, with all work always completed on time and within budget.

Here’s how we deliver the best quality asphalt and tarmacadam surfacing service:

Plant and Machinery

Our use of specialist plant and machinery allows us to produce a high-quality, professional finish for all asphalt and tarmac projects. We have the skills and expertise to complete both hand-laid and machine-rolled, each on suitable for different projects.

For example, our hand-laid asphalt and tarmac are suitable for small projects with limited space. Conversely, our machine-rolled asphalt and tarmac are ideal for larger projects, such as those in commercial locations like car parks.

Working in Layers

We use a layering process to produce the best finish for asphalt and tarmac surfaces. The process involves digging to about 16-18cm, after which we lay a sub-base of crushed hardcore that we compact with a roller.

We then lay kerbs and edges to support the asphalt or tarmac, followed by a large aggregate base layer and top surface. When in place, we compact again with the roller to create a solid and resilient top surface.

Top Surface and Finish

To ensure an attractive yet durable finish, we lay a wearing course with smaller grains of aggregate. The final layer sets quickly and you can use the surface typically within an hour, although make sure to be careful!

For a new driveway, we strongly advise against forceful acceleration, braking, or turning the wheels when at a standstill. We also suggest treating the new surface carefully for a week or so, as this gives it more time to strengthen. Doing so results in more lasting durability for your surface.
