We recently completed three new tarmac driveways for residential customers in Droitwich, Worcestershire, giving each property a smart, practical and hard-wearing new surface.
Although every driveway project is different, homeowners generally want the same things from a new drive: a surface that looks good, provides reliable off-road parking and is capable of coping with regular vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
These three Droitwich projects are great examples of how a professionally installed tarmac driveway can provide a relatively simple transformation while complementing the appearance of the existing property.
The Brief
The objective across the three projects was to create attractive new driveway surfaces that would provide homeowners with a durable and low-maintenance solution for everyday use.
Before any new driveway is installed, it’s important to consider more than just the finished surface. The size and shape of the area, existing levels, access to garages and entrances, drainage requirements and surrounding features can all influence how the work should be approached.
Getting these details right at the beginning helps ensure the completed driveway doesn’t just look good on the day it’s installed, but continues to perform as intended.
For these properties in Droitwich, the new tarmac was chosen to create a neat finish that worked naturally alongside the homes and their existing surroundings.
Preparing the Driveways
Good preparation is one of the most important parts of any driveway installation.
The finished tarmac might be the part everyone sees, but the quality of the preparation beneath it plays a major role in the strength and longevity of the completed driveway.
Each area therefore needed to be properly prepared before the final surface could be installed.
This stage allows the driveway to be formed to the required levels and provides a suitable foundation for the new surface. Particular consideration also needs to be given to areas where the driveway meets existing features, such as garages, paths, roads and property entrances.
Taking the time to prepare these areas correctly helps achieve a cleaner finish and reduces the likelihood of problems developing later.
Installing the New Tarmac
Once preparation was complete, the new tarmac surfaces could be installed.
Tarmac remains a popular choice for domestic driveways for several reasons. It creates a smooth and uniform appearance, is suitable for regular vehicle traffic and works particularly well across larger parking areas where homeowners want a clean finish without an overly complicated design.
Its dark appearance also provides an effective contrast against brickwork, paving and other features commonly found around residential properties.
You can see this particularly clearly in the completed Droitwich driveways.
At one property, the new tarmac creates a large continuous parking area in front of the house and garage. Existing block paving at the boundary has been retained, creating a defined transition between the driveway and road.
At another property, the driveway extends across a substantial area leading towards several garage doors. The fresh black surface creates a particularly striking contrast against the brick buildings and lighter garage doors.
The result is a straightforward, uncluttered finish that makes the whole outdoor area look much smarter.
