Tarmac
Strong, simple, and affordable
Tarmac is a classic driveway choice that has stood the test of time. Known for its strength and cost-effectiveness, it provides a practical solution for homeowners who want a reliable surface at a budget-friendly price.
Why choose a tarmac driveway?
- Cost-effective – Usually the cheapest option per square metre.
- Quick installation – Driveways can be ready in as little as 1–2 days.
- Durable – Handles heavy vehicles and everyday traffic with ease.
- Easy to maintain – Cracks can be repaired and surfaces resealed.
Built to last
When installed on a solid base, tarmac driveways last 15–20 years. They are resistant to most weather conditions, and with regular sealing, the risk of cracks and fading is reduced. Tarmac also sets quickly, meaning you can use your driveway sooner.
Improving the look of tarmac
While plain black tarmac is the traditional choice, coloured tarmac and decorative block paving borders can transform the appearance. This combination gives homeowners the strength of tarmac with the added style of a bespoke finish.
Cost and value
Tarmac usually costs £40–£60 per square metre, making it the most affordable driveway option. For larger areas, this makes a big difference to the overall cost while still providing a durable, long-lasting surface.
