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 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.

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 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.

They replaced a messy patchwork with one solid surface. Dan checked our drains and adjusted levels so water heads to the channel.
Sorted.

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 handled drainage first, then surface. The discrete channel along the garage doors blends in and the threshold has stayed bone dry through two showers.
Edges look sharp and the whole front cleans with one brush. Daily life is easier.

Dan corrected a shallow fall that always sent rain to the garage. He trimmed back roots, compacted hard and set a slim channel at the doors.
Dry threshold at last.

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.

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.

Dan planned around school pick up so the street stayed clear. He marked utilities, set cones early and swept at the end of each shift.
A shallow curve now eases turning and the apron meets the pavement without a lip. Rain slid away in the first storm and the garage stayed dry.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping tied the driveway into the path with a clean joint. No trip lip, no puddles by the threshold.
Exactly what we hoped for.

Dan widened the turning circle by a half metre and trimmed the verge so mirrors stop brushing leaves. He marked utilities, set cones early and kept neighbours in the loop.
The roll finished smooth rather than shiny and the camber feels right. Parking went from tense to simple overnight.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt the gate mouth that flooded every November. Fresh sub base, slim slot drain, careful roll.
Yesterday’s storm passed through and left no lake by the threshold. The surface has that steady, even feel and the kerb edge looks like it belongs. We should have done this years ago.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping resurfaced our shared lane between cottages. Deliveries were timed so the road stayed open, edges cut clean and the final roll left no chatter marks.
Dogs stopped tracking grit into the hallway. It looks modest, solid and easy to live with. Exactly right for the lane.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping offered black for cars and red for feet so sightlines make sense. The colour split lifts the front without feeling flashy.
Kerbs seat firm, the apron meets the pavement clean and scooters skim across quietly. It is easier to live with from the first morning school run.
