Tarmacking Services in Market Weighton
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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping overlaid our shared lane after repairing a soft pocket at the bend. Passing places stayed open, cones kept things civil and the roll left a smooth, even finish.
Gullies sit level, no loose chippings and the postie can finally glide through. It reads tidy from the road without shouting.

Dan kept radios quiet, swept the pavement and checked the channel with a bucket test before leaving. The driveway looks like one piece instead of a quilt of repairs.
Very pleased.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping resurfaced our old drive in a day. Edges are crisp, gullies sit flush and the finish looks smart from the road.
Cars roll in quietly now.

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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt the entrance lip where it always crumbled. The new edge holds shape and prams glide across.
Small fix, daily win.

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.

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 turning circle by a whisper so we can swing off the road in one motion. He trimmed the verge sensibly, marked utilities and kept neighbours informed.
The manhole ring is bang on and the roll left a smooth, even surface that doesn’t shed loose stone. He also lined the camber so water finds the slot drain instead of our garage. We noticed the change the first school run.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping replaced a patchwork of repairs with one continuous run. The camber now nudges rain to the channel and the apron sits flush with the kerb.
Even the kids noticed how smooth their scooters feel. House frontage finally matches the brick.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt the sub base that had failed near our gate, then resurfaced the whole drive in one calm run. Cones kept the street moving, edges were cut clean and the manhole now sits perfectly flush.
A quiet camber guides rain to a slim channel so there’s no puddle by the doors. They protected the verge with boards and swept the kerb each evening. Tyres roll in softly and scooters glide without rattling. The frontage looks cared for rather than patched, which is exactly what we wanted.

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.

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 reviewed the base, measured falls and explained exactly where the water would go. He corrected a shallow crown that always pushed puddles toward the garage, then set a slim channel by the door.
The surface has a quiet, even look and prams glide across the entrance without jolts. He left clear care notes for the first week. Stress gone.

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

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping refreshed our forecourt after fixing a soft pocket. Bay lines read straight, gullies follow the fall and sweeping takes minutes.
It looks cared for.
