Driveway Contractors Farnborough

Yes, tarmac driveways can be customised to suit your preferences. While traditional tarmac is typically black, you can choose from a range of colours and finishes, including red, green or textured surfaces, to complement your property’s aesthetics. You can also choose from a wide range of edging options and block paving or resin features.

We use high-quality tarmac/asphalt materials that are specifically designed for commercial applications. These materials are durable, weather-resistant and compliant with industry standards, ensuring long-lasting results for your surfacing needs.

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your gravel driveway in good condition. This includes periodic grading to redistribute the gravel, filling in any low spots or potholes and removing debris such as leaves and branches. It’s also essential to address drainage issues promptly to prevent erosion.

While some homeowners may choose to undertake block paving installation as a DIY project, it’s generally recommended to hire a professional paving contractor. We have the necessary skills, experience and equipment to ensure that the job is done correctly, resulting in a durable and visually appealing finished product.

Resin bound paving is a surfacing technique that involves mixing aggregate stones with a clear resin binder, which is then trowelled onto a prepared surface. This creates a seamless, durable and visually appealing finish.

Yes, gravel driveways offer versatility in terms of colour, size and texture, allowing for customisation to complement your home’s exterior. Additionally, features like edging stones or decorative borders can further enhance the appearance of your driveway while providing functional benefits.

Typically, you can walk on a newly installed resin bound surface within 6-8 hours after installation. However, it’s recommended to wait at least 24-48 hours before driving or parking vehicles on the surface to allow the resin to fully cure and harden.

Properly installed and maintained tarmac driveways are resistant to cracking. However, factors such as heavy loads, extreme temperatures or poor installation practices can contribute to cracking. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can help prevent and address any issues.

Resin bound paving involves mixing aggregate with resin and applying it evenly to create a smooth, porous surface. In contrast, resin bonded paving involves spreading a layer of resin onto a surface and then scattering loose aggregate on top, resulting in a textured finish. This gives a non-porous surface, which has a coarser finish and leaves a certain amount of loose stone on the final surface. Resin bound paving is generally more durable and requires less maintenance than resin bonded paving.

You can have your driveway pressure washed at any time of year. However, if you have block paving, it will need to be re-sanded after cleaning and colder, damper months are not suitable for this as the blocks are likely to stay damp.
