A practical fit for your property
Decisions to make before you choose
A good tarmac driveway quotation should connect the visible finish to the existing ground, access, levels, water movement and expected use.
Preparation below the finish
Ask whether the existing surface will be removed and how the proposed sub-base suits the ground and expected vehicle use.
Defined borders
Block or kerb edges can frame the surface and create clear transitions to paths, planting and the highway boundary.

Common questions
Before you request a quote
Can tarmac be laid over an existing driveway?
That cannot be assumed from the visible surface alone. The condition, levels, edges and proposed build-up need to be assessed before an overlay or new installation is included in a quotation.
Can tarmac have a contrasting border?
A contrasting block or kerb edge can be discussed as part of the layout. The exact detail depends on the frontage, thresholds and adjoining surfaces.
How long will installation take?
Timing depends on the area, removal, access, preparation, weather and agreed scope. The proposed sequence should be confirmed for the individual project rather than treated as a fixed promise.
What should I send for a tarmac quote?
Send the full postcode, wide photos, approximate dimensions, current surface, intended parking and any slopes, steps, walls or drainage features.
