Tarmac Driveways in Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire
Smooth, hard-wearing tarmac driveways with neat borders and proper groundwork.
What to expect
A tarmac driveway gives you a smooth, hard-wearing surface that is usually quicker to lay than block paving. As with any driveway, the groundwork matters most, so we dig out, lay and compact a solid sub-base, set the levels so water runs away from the house, and then lay the tarmac and roll it for a clean finish.
Tarmac suits a lot of homes, and a block or brick border is a simple way to make it look more finished. We have laid tarmac driveways for customers across Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire, and our customers regularly mention how tidy we leave the site.
If you are comparing tarmac with block paving, see our block paving driveways page, or ask us when we visit.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a new driveway cost?
Every driveway is different, so the price depends on the size, the materials, the groundwork needed and access to the site. We give a clear written quote after seeing the job, and quotes are free.
Block paving or tarmac: which is better?
Block paving gives you more colours and patterns and individual blocks can be lifted for repairs. Tarmac is a smooth, hard-wearing surface that is usually quicker to lay. Both can be finished with a block or brick border. We will talk you through the options for your property when we visit.
How long does it take to lay a driveway?
A typical driveway takes a few days once work starts, depending on its size, the digging out needed and the weather. We will give you an idea of timings when we quote.
