Tarmacking Services in Cottingham

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping took up the failed overlay, rebuilt the base at the entrance and installed a new tarmac surface with a crisp stone edge. The manhole sits perfectly flush and the camber guides water to a discreet channel.

We drove on it two days later and it felt solid and smooth.

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.

Even the kids noticed how smooth their scooters feel. House frontage finally matches the brick.

Dan treated the gate mouth like a tiny project of its own. Roots had lifted it so he rebuilt the base in layers, checked with string and only then laid the top.

A discrete channel sits to one side and the apron meets the pavement clean. Yesterday’s storm slid away in minutes and there was no crunch under tyres. Quiet competence from start to finish.

Dan talked me through binder grades and why temperature matters. He returned early to catch the cool start, laid the surface in one go and compacted with patience.

The camber now sends rain to the slot drain. Threshold stayed dry through a downpour.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping tied red tarmac on the path to black on the driveway so the boundary reads clear. Kerb stones sit snug, the entrance lip no longer scuffs tyres and prams cross without a bump.

The whole frontage looks deliberate now. Maintenance will be a broom, not an ordeal.

Exactly what we hoped for.

Dan widened the parking bay fractionally, which means doors open without grazing the hedge. He smoothed out a rut by rebuilding the base rather than masking it.

The result is one continuous surface that behaves in rain and heat. He also returned next morning to check hardening. That follow up matters.

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 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 corrected a gentle dip that always gathered grit near the gate. He layered the base properly, checked with a straightedge and only then laid the top coat.

He set a tidy upstand by the beds so bark stops wandering. The drive now drains to the channel like it should. A quiet triumph.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping renewed the shared spur outside our cottages without turning the lane into chaos. Deliveries were staggered so cars could pass, the roller left no chatter marks and the colour sits even from shade to sun.
