What the price covers

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
  • Dig to formation level, usually around 230–250 mm below finished height
  • Geotextile membrane where the ground is soft or clay
  • 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

Do I need permission in Hadley?

In England, a new hard surface over 5 m² in front of a house needs planning permission unless it is porous or drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. Any new or widened crossing over the pavement needs approval from the highway authority (the county or unitary council).
