Tarmacking Services in Winterton
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 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 rebuilt a sagging gate mouth that used to collect water. New base, rolled finish and a slim slot drain set to the proper fall.
Yesterday’s rain disappeared in minutes. The tyres no longer thud as we turn in. It’s a relief.

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.

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.

The team shaved off ruts, overlaid evenly and left the lane spotless. Even our bin day went smoothly.

Dan walked me through binders, temperature and curing in plain English. He staged deliveries so the street stayed open and returned next morning to check hardening.
Drive feels stout without looking heavy.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping used red tarmac on the path and black on the drive. The contrast helps the kids steer clear.
Kerbs sit tight and prams glide.

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.

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 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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping resurfaced our forecourt after repairing cracks and a soft corner. Bay lines are straight, gullies aligned and the finish looks even across shade and sun.
It’s low fuss to keep clean. The place finally looks looked after when customers arrive.

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 slab so we can swing in without a three point shuffle. He kept noise sensible and swept before leaving.

Dan added a tidy upstand by the border so mulch stays put. Rain ran off neatly in yesterday’s shower.
Drive looks modern without shouting.
