Our Tarmac Driveways Installation Process in Somerset
We are dedicated to our meticulous approach to tarmac driveway installation, thoughtfully tailored for our clients in Somerset. Our process is designed to ensure a durable, attractive, and long-lasting driveway that enhances your property. Here’s how we do it:
Site Preparation
Our installation process for Somerset driveways begins with thorough site preparation. We clear the area of any debris, vegetation, and existing structures, followed by careful excavation. This step is crucial to ensure a stable foundation for your new driveway. We level the ground precisely to provide a solid base for the layers to come.
Sub-base Installation
Durability starts from the ground up. We lay a robust sub-base of high-quality crushed stone or gravel, essential for distributing weight evenly and providing stability. This step is particularly important to withstand the variable weather conditions in Somerset, preventing future shifting or settling. Our team ensures this sub-base is compacted thoroughly to create a firm and reliable foundation.
Edging
Edging is both functional and aesthetic. We install attractive and supportive edging materials, such as concrete, stone, or brick, to define the boundaries of your driveway. This not only adds a finished look but also provides structural support, preventing the tarmac from spreading and maintaining the driveway’s shape. Our edging solutions are designed to complement the unique character of Somerset properties.
Tarmac Laying
With the groundwork complete, we proceed to lay the tarmac. We pour and expertly spread hot tarmacadam, ensuring an even distribution across the surface. Our skilled team uses specialised equipment to compact the tarmac thoroughly, resulting in a smooth, even finish. This step is vital for the longevity and appearance of your driveway, especially considering Somerset’s diverse weather patterns.
Finishing Touches
The final touches are where attention to detail truly matters. We ensure the surface is impeccably smooth and finished to perfection. Proper drainage is a key consideration; we design and implement drainage solutions to prevent water pooling and potential damage. This comprehensive approach guarantees that your driveway not only looks great but also functions optimally in all weather conditions typical of Somerset.

When asphalt is first laid the surface will have a shiny black appearance. After some weeks, and depending on use, the glossiness will reduce as the surface weathers.
