Tarmac and asphalt driveways all around Cornwall

From dig-out to finished surface

We do the whole job: breaking out the old surface, digging out to depth, laying and compacting the stone base, setting the edging and laying the tarmac. Our photos show every stage: cones round a dug-out area, stone laid and levelled, a fresh black surface with a clean edge.

That is the part that decides how long a drive lasts. A thin base or soft ground can show through whatever the top looks like.

Drives, paths and yards

Our jobs include domestic drives in front of houses and bungalows, a path across a green, a wide yard at a trading estate and a bay cut out of a rough surface. Whatever the size, the build is the same idea: firm base, even depth, good edges and falls so water runs where you want it.

What to ask before work starts

Ask where the water will go, what the edge will be (kerb, block edging or nothing), whether the old surface is coming out and how deep the dig will be. We will talk you through it when we look at the job.
