Make room for parking and getting around
The driveway needs room for your vehicles, opening car doors and walking to the house. Before digging starts, the installer needs to check the ground, pipes and cables, and access for equipment. The finished height must work with doors, paths and gates.
Prepare the base and fit the borders
Old surfacing is removed where needed, then the ground is prepared for the new base. The supporting layers are packed down firmly. Borders hold the edges in place, and drains are fitted where needed to carry water away.
Lay the tarmac and finish the driveway
The tarmac is laid and pressed firmly with a roller or other suitable equipment. Edges, door entrances and drains are checked before the job is finished. Your installer should tell you when it is safe to walk and park on the new surface.

Tarmac driveway installation questions
Does every driveway need the same depth of tarmac?
No. The ground, the supporting layers and the weight of the vehicles all matter. Your installer should explain the depth and materials needed for your drive.
Can tarmac be laid in any weather?
No. Weather and ground conditions can affect the work. Your installer should explain if conditions mean the job needs to be delayed.
