Tarmac Driveways St Albans

Asphalt and tarmacadam are typically black in colour. This is because the binder that is mixed with the chosen aggregates, bitumen, is a viscous black liquid. However, Tarmac can also be produced in a range of colour variations like red. This is achieved by adding coloured pigment in the mixing process.

Some driveway types require much more maintenance than others. If you’re looking for driveway material that needs little maintenance, then resin bound or Tarmac are your best options.

Resin bound driveways just need a hose clean and sweep to ensure the surface remains looking perfect.

Tarmacadam and asphalt don’t have the natural stone appearance of resin bound, but they typically last a very long time without any maintenance required.

As a completely natural and fully recyclable material, Tarmacadam can be considered one of the most environmentally friendly methods of surfacing available in St Albans.

Tarmac is renowned for being easy to maintain as regular jet washing should be all that’s needed to keep it looking great and functioning effectively.

If you get any cracks or sunken spots, we can perform a driveway repair.

On average, the lifespan of tarmacadam is between 12-15 years before it will need to be replaced or undergo major driveway repair work. Through years of heavy use and exposure to the elements, minor repairs to cracks and potholes may need to be completed, however other than this, very little maintenance work is required.
