What are the benefits of a tarmac driveway?

Tarmac driveways offer several advantages, making them a popular choice for homeowners:

  • Durability: Tarmac is known for its long-lasting nature, withstanding the test of time with proper care.
  • Ease of Installation: Laying tarmac is straightforward on a flat, prepared surface, allowing for quick installation.
  • Weather Resistance: It performs exceptionally well under various weather conditions, from intense sun to freezing temperatures.
  • Uniform Appearance: Tarmac provides a smooth, uniform look that many homeowners appreciate.
  • Low Maintenance: Taking care of a tarmac driveway is relatively easy, with repairs being straightforward to manage.

What are the disadvantages of a tarmac driveway?

Despite its benefits, there are some drawbacks to consider:

  • Pothole Formation: Over time, tarmac can develop potholes, especially in areas with heavy vehicle traffic.
  • Moss Growth: In conditions where it doesn’t dry out properly, moss can grow on the surface.
  • Weed Damage: Weeds can break through tarmac, leading to cracks and compromising its integrity.

If tarmac isn’t the look you want for your home, you might want to consider concrete, brick, stone or resin driveways.

Find a specialist today

How do I know if the job has been done well?

A well-executed tarmac driveway should display:

  • Proper Preparation: The ground should be correctly prepared before laying the tarmac.
  • Smoothness and Evenness: The surface should be smooth and even, with no bumps or irregularities.
  • Complete Coverage: Tarmac should fully cover the intended area, with no gaps or missing sections.

Rated People offers reviews from previous customers, giving you insights into the quality of work delivered by our tradespeople. Additionally, our guide for hiring driveway specialists can help you understand the right questions to ensure your project meets your expectations.

Other tarmac driveway FAQs

Does tarmac add to the value of a house?

Yes, a well-maintained tarmac driveway can enhance the curb appeal and value of your property.

Do you need planning permission for tarmac?

In many cases, planning permission is not required for tarmac driveways, but it’s essential to check local regulations, especially for new or significantly altered driveways.

Does water drain through tarmac?

Standard tarmac is not permeable, but porous asphalt options allow water to drain through, reducing runoff and the risk of flooding.

The job was to cut back a severely overgrown patch of garden. Chris & his team, Adrian & Cosmin, gave me a competitive quote, after coming to visit the site to assess what needed to be done. They started next day and completed the job quickly and to my complete satisfaction. The site was cleaned up & all waste taken away. I will definitely use them again and strongly recommend them.

Outstanding professionals! Michael and his team did a first class job on both garage roof and conservatory guttering. Punctual, friendly and tidy, they went above and beyond to repair some extra small issues which required doing and would not take any extra payment. As the quote for the original work was more than fair, this was very much appreciated. Michael took great care to explain what they were doing at every step of the job and backed that up with clear photos. I would very highly recommend RGM.

Stanley & his team originally came on board to build us a new rear extension which would house our kitchen as well as fit a new bathroom but as the project developed it ended up being near enough an entire house renovation and we're thrilled with the results. We still have work we would like to do to the outside of the house as well as a loft conversion and when we have enough money to take on those projects, we would definitely re-hire Stanley and his team. Highly recommend Stanley & his team.
