Tarmac

By ensuring a suitable base of hardcore is laid (to a depth of approximately 180mm) this provides an excellent key for a base layer of bitumen coated 20mm limestone. This is normally laid to a thickness of 65-90mm and hand rolled whilst hot.

Dense wearing course, 6mm bitumen coated limestone, is then normally laid approximately 30mm thick, as a finishing coat. A smoother surface is created by using the tight binding qualities of the smaller gravel.

We finish by hand around the edges, drains and any gullies etc – rolling smooth with a double drum vibrating roller ensures perfect results every time.

Tarmac is available in various colours and finishes:

• Black 6mm & 10mm
• Red 6mm
• Green 6mm
• Blue 6mm

We would advise against adding further coloured chippings to a Tarmac driveway as they do not bond correctly with the wearing course. Over time they will become loose and cause surface degradation.
