Tarmac Driveway | Maidstone

Project Overview:

The project began with an existing driveway that was showing significant signs of age and wear. The original surface consisted of old, uneven paving slabs that had become a breeding ground for weeds and moss. This not only looked untidy but also presented a potential trip hazard. The driveway detracted from the property’s overall kerb appeal and required a complete overhaul to create a functional and visual appealing entrance.

Project Details

Location: Maidstone

Materials: Tarmac

Process:

Excavation & Site Clearance: The first step was to completely excavate the old paving slabs and remove all weeds and organic matter. The area was dug to the required depth to create a solid foundation.

Sub-Base Installation: A new, robust sub-base of MOT Type 1 hardcore was laid and thoroughly compacted with a heavy-duty roller. This critical stage ensures the driveway has a stable foundation, preventing future sinking or cracking. 

Decorative Edging: To frame the new driveway and add a touch of class, a single-row border of red block paving was installed along the edges. This provides a clean, sharp finish and a beautiful contrast against the black tarmac.

Tarmac Surfacing: Finally, a high-quality, durable Stone Mastic Asphalt tarmac was expertly laid across the entire surface. It was then compacted using a roller to achieve a smooth, uniform, and hard-wearing finish designed to withstand vehicle traffic and the elements for many years.

Benefits of a Driveway:

  • Improved Ease of Access: Provides a dedicated, private area for parking, particularly convenient for busy areas.
  • Enhanced Property Value: A well maintained driveway can significantly boost a property’s kerb appeal.
  • Increased Safety: Driveways offer a safer space for vehicles and pedestrians, and provide more room.
  • Improves Drainage: A properly installed driveway prevents water pooling, reducing the risk of muddy surfaces.

The completed project has radically transformed the entrance to the property. The new black tarmac provides a sleek, modern look, while the red block paving border adds definition and character. The driveway is now a clean, safe, and impressive feature that significantly enhances the kerb appeal.
