Tarmac drives built from the ground up
Tarmac is a practical choice for drives that take a lot of use. It gives a smooth, dark, joint-free surface that is quick to sweep and copes well with cars turning on it.
A good tarmac drive starts with a properly dug and compacted sub-base, then the tarmac is laid hot and rolled before it cools. We finish the edges with kerbs or blocks so the surface stays crisp.

Why choose Nice & Tidy
Why choose us to lay your tarmac
Tarmac is unforgiving if the base or the timing is wrong. We get the groundwork right and lay while the material is at the right temperature.
Firm foundations
A compacted sub-base stops ruts and dips forming where the car sits.
Drainage planned in
Tarmac is not permeable, so we set falls and channels to deal with the water.
Clean edges
Kerbs or block edging keep the tarmac from crumbling at the sides.

How we carry out the work
How we lay a tarmac driveway
No pressure at any stage, and nothing is booked until you have the price in writing.
Dig out
The old drive and soil are removed to make room for the sub-base and tarmac layers.
Edge and base
Edging is set first, then crushed stone is laid and compacted with falls set for drainage.
Lay hot
Tarmac arrives hot and is spread and levelled quickly, while it is still workable.
Roll and finish
The surface is rolled to compact it, edges are sealed neatly and the area is cleaned down.
