Bigger driveways need more tarmac, labour, and groundwork, which raises the total cost. Smaller areas are generally more affordable, but intricate layouts or limited access can still increase installation expenses.
Uneven terrain, old surfaces, or weak soil often require additional excavation, levelling, or sub-base work. Correct groundwork is crucial for a long-lasting driveway and can have a noticeable impact on the overall project cost.
Using high-grade tarmac or applying thicker layers for heavy traffic increases the cost. Investing in quality materials ensures your driveway lasts longer, resists cracking, and delivers a durable, reliable surface for years to come.
How long does a tarmac driveway last?
A professionally installed tarmac driveway can last 15–25 years, depending on usage, weather conditions, and regular maintenance such as cleaning and minor repairs.
Can I drive heavy vehicles on a tarmac driveway?
Yes. Tarmac is strong and durable, capable of supporting cars, vans, and even larger vehicles if the sub-base and thickness are correctly installed.
How soon can I use my tarmac driveway after installation?
Typically, a newly laid tarmac driveway can be used after 24–48 hours for light use. Full curing can take up to six weeks, so avoid heavy loads during this period.
Does tarmac require much maintenance?
Tarmac is low maintenance. Regular cleaning, sealing cracks promptly, and applying a protective sealant every few years can extend its lifespan and maintain its appearance.
Can existing driveways be resurfaced with tarmac?
Yes. Resurfacing is a cost-effective way to renew worn or cracked driveways. The existing surface is prepared and cleaned before laying a fresh tarmac layer for a smooth finish.
