Tarmacking Services in Driffield
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.

Dan widened the parking bay slightly, trimmed the verge and checked levels with a straightedge. The apron now meets the pavement without a lip.
Doors stop kissing the hedge.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt the edge where roots had jacked it up. Fresh kerb, neat joint to the path and a uniform top coat pulled the front together.
The bin finally wheels out without rattling. Small upgrades add up when you live with them every day.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping overlaid our car park after sealing fissures and fixing a soft pocket. Bay lines read straight, gullies follow the fall and there’s no scatter of loose stone.
It looks dependable without fuss. Staff stopped dodging puddles.

Dan suggested a shallow S-curve at the entrance to ease turning. He trimmed the verge, checked levels with string and set a slim drain where water used to linger.
The roll left a uniform finish that looks solid, not shiny. Reversing in is now effortless.

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.

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 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 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.
They lifted a soft pocket at the bend and tied the new edge to the cobbles with a crisp joint. Prams glide across the entrance now and nobody tracks crumbs into their hallway. It looks modest, dependable and easy to keep tidy.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping corrected a sag that used to catch the bumper. The dip is gone and tyres whisper over the manhole.
Frontage looks smarter.

Dan walked the plot with me and explained binders, temperature and curing in plain terms. He staged deliveries so the street never blocked, then compacted until that solid drum note arrived.
The new surface feels steady underfoot, edges are crisp and reversing is no longer a three point shuffle. Calm work from a steady hand.

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 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.

Dan rebuilt a soft pocket near the gate, set a slim drain and proved the fall with a jug. Threshold stayed dry.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping tied a red footpath to the black drive. Kerbs are neat and prams roll without a jolt.
