Tarmac driveways in Tamworth

Red or black tarmac, edged in block and built to last

Tarmac is the driveway most of our Tamworth customers choose, and it is the one we lay most often. It goes down quickly, takes the weight of cars and vans from day one, and gives a clean, dark finish that suits everything from a 1960s semi in Glascote to a new detached house in Amington.

We lay tarmac in black and in red. Most drives get a block paved border in charcoal, buff, brindle or red, which holds the edge of the tarmac and frames the drive. A second line of block, a red inlay or a contrasting apron at the pavement turns a plain drive into a finished one.

Every job starts with digging out. The old drive, turf or gravel comes up, the ground is reduced to the right depth, and a compacted stone sub-base goes in before any tarmac is laid. That base is what stops a drive sinking, cracking or holding puddles, and it is why every drive we lay carries a 10-year guarantee.
