Project Overview
Sometimes a job isn’t just a job, it’s an adventure. And this huge driveway and access road for a stunning new development in Fence, Burnley, was exactly that. We’re talking a serious amount of space that needed a serious upgrade. The challenge? To take a long, winding, and frankly a bit boring access road and turn it into a super-smooth, jet-black tarmac masterpiece. This wasn’t just about making it look good; it was about creating a durable, reliable surface for a whole new set of beautiful homes. The goal was simple, make it sleek, make it strong, and make it look amazing.

Before and After
- Before: Let’s be honest, it was a bit of a mess. A patchwork of old surfaces, uneven ground, and just generally not doing justice to the house. It was crying out for a makeover.
- After: WOW. Just look at that! A silky-smooth river of blacktop that winds perfectly around the properties. It’s clean, it’s sharp, and it’s the kind of driveway that makes you want to go out for a drive, so you can come home again.
How the Magic Happened
You can’t just slap down the tarmac and hope for the best. This was a proper operation!
- The Big Dig-Out: First, we had to get rid of the old, tired surface. This involved a whole lot of digging and clearing to create a blank canvas.
- Building the Foundations: We laid down a hardcore sub-base, which is basically the driveway’s skeleton. We then compacted it until it was rock-solid, creating a super-strong foundation that is built to last.
- Bring in the Big Toys: This is the fun part. We brought in our tarmac paver machine. This beast lays the hot tarmac at the perfect thickness, ensuring a totally even and professional finish. Watching this thing in action is pretty cool, it’s liking icing a giant cake!
- Rollin’, Rollin’, Rollin’: Once the tarmac was down, our roller driver got to work, compacting the surface to a smooth, durable, and bowling-green-flat finish. This squashes it all together and makes it’s tough enough to handle years of traffic.
The Grand Finale
And there you have it! From a bumpy, unloved track to a seriously impressive tarmac driveway that perfectly complements these modern homes. It’s practical, it looks fantastic, and it was a whole lot of fun to build. This project was a beast, but the end result is something we’re incredibly proud of. Another top-quality job in the bag!
