A practical approach to tarmac driveways
The surface is only as good as what sits underneath it. We look at the existing base, soft spots, levels, drainage and the way the drive meets the road, paths, gates and walls. On resurfacing jobs, we also check whether the old base is sound enough to keep rather than simply covering over a problem.
For Dublin family homes, tarmac is often chosen because it handles regular vehicle use and can cover awkward or generous parking areas without making the frontage look too busy. Paved borders can be added where a more detailed finish suits the house.
What can be included
- New tarmac and tarmacadam driveways
- Resurfacing where the existing base is suitable
- Ground preparation and level correction
