Tarmac Driveway Fitters in Bow — what to expect

For homeowners in Bow, Devon, seeking to enhance their property's kerb appeal and functionality, a range of tarmac driveway solutions are readily available, including complete tarmac driveway installation, overlay services for existing surfaces, and professional resurfacing. Our local specialists understand the importance of a robust sub-base preparation, ensuring a stable foundation for any new tarmac driveway. This often involves grading the ground and laying a sturdy aggregate layer, followed by the precise installation of edging kerbs to define the driveway's boundaries. A critical step in the process is applying a bitumen tack coat, which acts as an adhesive between layers. For the primary tarmac driveway installation, we typically use two distinct asphalt mixes: an AC 10 base layer for structural integrity and an AC 6 wearing course to provide a smooth, durable finish. Following the application of these hot tarmac layers, vibratory roller compaction is essential to achieve a dense, long-lasting surface. Proper fall and drainage are meticulously considered during the installation to prevent water pooling. Beyond traditional tarmac, for those desiring a more decorative finish, pattern imprint concrete overlay options can transform tired surfaces into aesthetically pleasing areas, mimicking the look of stone or brickwork without the associated maintenance.
