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.

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.

Yes. It is generally more affordable to install and repair while offering strong long-term performance.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping installed red tarmac on the path and black on the drive. The contrast looks sharp and helps the kids know where to cycle.
Simple and clever.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping tied a red tarmac footpath to the black driveway which makes sightlines obvious for the kids. Kerbs seat firmly, the path to the gate now runs true and the entrance lip no longer nips tyres.
They swept the lane each evening and left the verge as they found it. It looks deliberate from the road without shouting. The pushchair crosses the threshold without a jolt which is my favourite bit.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping removed a failed overlay, rebuilt the base and laid one clean run. The manhole sits flush, edges are crisp and water heads to a slim channel.
We’re no longer dodging puddles.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping refreshed our forecourt with a clean overlay after sealing cracks. Gullies are aligned and the finish sits smooth against the cobble edging.
Low upkeep ahead.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping resurfaced the shared lane between cottages. Cones managed passing traffic, edges cut clean and the roll left no ridges.
The postie thanked them. It reads tidy without feeling precious.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping refreshed our long access with a straightforward overlay after sealing cracks. The ride feels steady, gullies align and the entrance sits square to the pavement.
It sweeps clean in minutes and looks smart from the street. Exactly what we wanted.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping resurfaced our car park after repairing hairline cracks and a sag near the skip. The bays read straight, gullies track the fall and the entrance sits square to the pavement.
They kept noise sensible and the site tidy from start to finish. The finish has a uniform sheen rather than that glassy look that scuffs. Staff stopped hopping over puddles and the place feels cared for when customers pull in.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping tied the new surface to our cobbles with a crisp joint. No chatter marks, no loose bits, just a steady finish.

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.

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.

Dan split a steep entrance into two softer curves so turning is one movement. He compacted in passes and proved the drain with a jug.
Simple and effective.

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 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 planned around bin day, marked utilities and kept neighbours in the loop. The final roll looks uniform rather than shiny.
It’s easy to live with.
