What Does A Tarmac Driveway Cost?
Size of the Driveway
Larger driveways require more tarmac, labour, and preparation work, increasing the overall cost. Smaller driveways are cheaper, but complex shapes or restricted access can still add to expenses.
Ground Preparation
Uneven ground, existing surfaces, or poor soil may need extra excavation, levelling, or sub-base installation. Proper preparation is essential for durability, and it can significantly affect the project cost.
Quality and Thickness of Tarmac
Premium tarmac mixes or thicker layers for heavy-duty use cost more. Choosing a high-quality material ensures longevity and resistance to cracking, making it a worthwhile investment.
FAQ’s On Tarmac Driveways
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.
