What we do on a new tarmac driveway

A new tarmac driveway is built from the ground up: the old surface and soil are dug out, a compacted stone sub-base is laid, then a hot binder course and a finer surface course are spread and rolled, and the edges are held by kerbs or blocks.

  • Break out and remove the old surface and spoil
  • Geotextile membrane where the ground is soft or clay
  • Concrete-haunched kerbs or a block-paved border as edge restraint
  • Binder course (AC 20 dense), about 50–60 mm, laid hot and rolled
  • Falls set so water runs to a channel, gully or soft landscaping
