From dig-out to finished surface

A drive is built from the ground up, and the part you cannot see is the part that lasts.

  1. Dig outThe old surface and soil are dug out and taken away.
  2. Stone and edgingA compacted stone base, then kerbs or block edging on a concrete haunch.
  3. Binder and surfaceThe tarmac goes down in layers and is rolled to a clean finish.

Layers shown are typical. Depths and materials vary with the ground and the job, so we look at each one before quoting.
