Strong, Reliable Surfaces That Last
If your driveway or outdoor surface is cracked, uneven or worn out, tarmac is a smart and affordable solution. It provides strength, flexibility and a clean modern finish that works for homes, car parks and access roads alike.
At Backhouse Construction & Landscaping, we install and resurface tarmac to deliver smooth, durable results that stand up to daily use and all weather conditions.
Why Tarmac Is a Smart Investment
Tarmac offers great strength at a reasonable cost. It handles heat, cold and heavy use without losing its shape or colour.
It can be installed faster than most surfacing types and looks neat from day one. With minimal maintenance, it keeps your property looking professional and well cared for.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can I use my new tarmac driveway?
You can walk on it within 24 hours and drive on it after 48 to 72 hours depending on weather conditions.
Is tarmac cheaper than concrete?
Yes. It is generally more affordable to install and repair while offering strong long-term performance.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping corrected a shallow crown so water no longer drifts to the garage. The camber now reads right.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping overlaid the cracked parking area after repairing a soft corner. New apron meets pavement cleanly and the drop kerb reads square.
It’s the first time reversing feels easy.

Dan suggested a shallow S-curve at the entrance to ease turning. He trimmed the verge, checked levels with string and set a slim drain where water used to linger.
The roll left a uniform finish that looks solid, not shiny. Reversing in is now effortless.

Dan explained binders and temperature like a teacher. He chose the early slot for laying, rolled patiently and left the site neat.
The new surface has a quiet confidence. We step out and it just works.

Dan noticed our entrance forced a three point turn on busy days. He widened the curve by a whisper, trimmed roots sensibly and rebuilt the edge so the kerb line reads clean.
He explained binders and temperatures so I knew why the timing mattered. First heavy rain since and the threshold stayed dry. Parking now feels like a single movement rather than a faff.

Dan added a small landing patch beside the steps for deliveries. He set the upstand to keep bark off the edge and aligned with our paving.
The drive drains toward the gully rather than the garage. Simple changes, big comfort.

Dan widened the parking bay slightly, trimmed the verge and checked levels with a straightedge. The apron now meets the pavement without a lip.
Doors stop kissing the hedge.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping laid red tarmac to match the brick. Kerb lines read neat and the path to the gate now runs true.
Big lift for the frontage.

Dan mapped our awkward driveway with a tape and a chalk line, then suggested a shallow S that makes turning feel natural. He checked neighbour levels so we didn’t export water, rebuilt a soft pocket and added a small upstand beside the beds.
The new surface has that steady, even feel underfoot. Booking it was the hardest part. Everything else just worked.

Simple request, tidy result. The apron sits level with the pavement and rain drains away instead of sulking.
Looks cared for at last.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping split our project into two sensible phases so we could still park. Day one handled repairs, day two brought the overlay.
Bay lines sit straight, gullies match the fall and the apron no longer kicks the front wheels. Neighbours commented on how clean they kept the lane. It reads professional without being fussy. I’m relieved every time I turn in.

Dan kept the schedule tight so drying windows suited the weather. He marked utilities, set cones early and phoned the neighbour about access.
He also added a tidy upstand along the bed to stop mulch migrating. First shower since and the entrance remained bone dry. It is calm, competent work.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping replaced a patchwork of cold repairs with one continuous tarmac surface. They rebuilt the sub base at the sagging end, compacted until the note changed and set the edging stones tight.
The manhole sits flush and tyres whisper over it. House frontage feels smarter already.

Dan planned around school pick up so the lane stayed clear. He checked neighbour levels, aligned the slot drain to our downpipe and returned next morning to review hardening.
Cars now glide in quietly and there is no grit trail by the doors. Thoughtful from start to finish.
