TARMACADAM® DRIVEWAYS IN SOMERSET
Tarmacadam® driveways are a cheaper solution to block paving driveways, but that does not mean they are not without their own advantages. Both are practical solutions and fit for different purposes, however, when installing a Tarmacadam® driveway, extra care with drainage needs to be taken.
WHAT ARE TARMACADAM® DRIVEWAYS?
Tarmacadam® is a surfacing material that is created by crushing and combining stone, tar and sand to create a strong, smooth and durable surface. It is more commonly used where heavier vehicles need to be parked as it is more fit for purpose compared to block paving driveways.
Due to its resilience, it is also very common to find Tarmacadam® being used for commercial properties which provides backing to its ability to handle heavy loads.
BENEFITS OF TARMACADAM® DRIVEWAYS
EASY TO MAINTAIN
Scratches, dents or other damage can be repaired quickly and efficiently, smaller repairs can be carried out by you but professionals such as Town & Country Driveway Specialist Ltd can also repair more severe damage.
QUICK & EASY INSTALLATION
It is much quicker to lay a Tarmacadam® driveway when compared to other methods, and once preparation has been completed the surface can be laid in a matter of hours.
CAN BE EDGED WITH OTHER MATERIALS
Stone or block edging can be incorporated into Tarmacadam® driveways with ease to give it an extra buffer of protection and more decorative qualities to provide more kerb appeal.
WEATHER RESISTANT
Tarmacadam® has been used in roadways for a number of years in the UK due to its ability to handle the changes in weather experienced through the seasons.
