Tarmac Driveway Fitters in Brithem Bottom — what to expect

For residents of Brithem Bottom, seeking to enhance their property's kerb appeal and functionality, a professional tarmac driveway installation offers a robust and cost-effective solution. Our local specialists understand the importance of thorough sub-base preparation, ensuring a stable foundation that can withstand the varied weather conditions typical of Devon. This typically involves excavating the existing surface, laying and compacting a suitable aggregate sub-base, and then carefully installing edging kerbs to define the driveway's boundaries. A crucial step in achieving a durable tarmac finish is the application of a bitumen tack coat, which promotes excellent adhesion between the layers. We then apply the asphaltic concrete (AC) layers, usually starting with an AC 10 base course for strength, followed by a finer AC 6 wearing course for a smooth, attractive finish. Compaction using a vibratory roller is essential to create a dense, hard-wearing surface, and careful attention is paid to achieving the correct fall and drainage to prevent water pooling. Beyond traditional tarmac, Brithem Bottom homeowners can also explore the aesthetic possibilities of pattern imprint concrete overlay, a versatile option that can mimic the look of stone or brick, revitalising tired existing surfaces.
