Why Install A Tarmac Driveway?
Tarmac is easily one of the most popular driveway materials in the UK and is perhaps one of the materials our Bristol driveway installers work with most often. We like it because it’s tough, adaptable, and provides a smooth finish that works for driveways of any size, whether residential or commercial.
With modern surfacing technology, today’s tarmac driveways are longer-lasting and more attractive than ever, so you can be assured of high performance and great value for money.

Tarmac Driveways FAQ
Questions Our Bristol Installation Team Are Often Asked About Tarmac Driveways
How long should I expect my new tarmac driveway to last?
With the right care, a tarmac driveway can last 15–20 years or more. It’s a very long-lasting and durable choice, which also makes it good value for money.
I have a heavy work vehicle which I keep at home, is tarmac still a suitable choice?
Yes. Tarmac is one of the toughest driveway materials available, making it ideal for households with multiple cars or even vans and other commercial vehicles kept on the premises.
How long should I expect the installation of a tarmac driveway to take?
Generally speaking, the majority of our projects are completed within just a few days. If the area is particularly large or requires extensive ground preparation, we may need longer—but this will always be discussed before you give the go ahead.
Do I need planning permission for a tarmac driveway?
We find that planning permission usually isn’t necessary if we install suitable drainage or use permeable bases, but our knowledgeable local team will always check on your behalf.
