Our team recently completed a high-quality tarmac driveway installation for a residential property in Preston. The homeowner wanted a fresh, low-maintenance surface that complemented the property’s style while maximising parking space.
Project Overview:
Phase 1: Site Preparation
We began by excavating the entire existing surface to the appropriate depth, ensuring any old material and vegetation were removed. A strong, permeable sub-base was then laid and compacted to provide the proper structure and stability.
Phase 2: Edging Installation
To enhance the overall appearance and provide a defined boundary, we installed charcoal block paved edging around the perimeter of the driveway. This added a contrasting border that improves both aesthetics and durability.
Phase 3: Tarmac Surfacing
With the base in place and edging secured, we applied a 10mm SMA (Stone Mastic Asphalt) tarmac finish, machine-laid for a smooth and professional surface. The new tarmac provides a hardwearing, weather-resistant surface that will remain neat and functional for years to come.
The End Result:
The finished driveway completely revitalised the front of the property. The crisp, smooth tarmac surface paired with the sharp charcoal block edging gave the space a modern, well-defined appearance. The new layout maximised usable parking area while maintaining clean lines and proper drainage. With a durable and low-maintenance finish, the homeowner now enjoys a driveway that not only looks great but also functions flawlessly for everyday use. This transformation significantly boosted the kerb appeal and long-term value of the property.
