Before and After

  • Before: The driveway was surfaced with old block paving that had become uneven, messy, and covered in weeds. It looked tired and did not do justice to the property.
  • After: The driveway has been completely transformed with a new, smooth tarmac surface. By retaining the original block paving border and central feature, the new driveway is both highly practical and visually stunning, blending modern materials with classic design.

Project Steps

Our team undertook a complete replacement with the following process:

  1. Full Excavation: We began by removing the entirety of the old block paving and excavating the area to the required depth.
  2. Sub-base Installation: A new, robust sub-base was installed and compacted to create a solid and level foundation, essential for the longevity of the new driveway.
  3. Integrating Existing Features: The original block paving border and the central circle feature were carefully set in place and integrated into the new foundation, ensuring they remained a prominent and level part of the final design.
  4. Tarmac Surfacing: Finally, we laid a high-quality, hard-wearing tarmac across the entire area. The surface was expertly compacted with a heavy-duty roller to ensure a smooth, uniform, and durable finish that perfectly complements the block paving details.

Conclusion

The finished project is a stunning success. The new tarmac driveway provides a clean, sleek, and practical surface that dramatically enhances the property’s entrance. By retaining and restoring the block paving elements, the driveway maintains its unique character, blending the modern appeal of tarmac with traditional design accents.
