Project Details
Preparation and Excavation: The initial step of the project involved the complete removal of the old driveway surface, including the weathered paving slabs, which has become uneven and unfit for purpose. Following this, a thorough excavation of the underlying ground was done to achieve the required depth, ensuring the site was fully prepared for the installation process. The excavation helped address any drainage concerns by creating a surface suitable for water flow management.
Sub-Base Installation:
A high-quality sub-base layer was installed, using a compacted mixture of crushed stone and aggregates. This sub-base formed the backbone of the driveway, providing essential support and stability to the finished surface. Special acre was taken to level and compact this layer to eliminate any unevenness and to ensure the driveway would be able to endure the rigours of daily use, from foot traffic to vehicle loading. This step is crucial in preventing future issues like sinking or cracking.Brindle Block Paved Borders:
A decorative and functional element, brindle-coloured block paving was meticulously laid along the edges of the driveway and pathways. These borders added a visually striking contrast to the dark tarmac, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of this project. In addition to their decorative purpose, the borders provided structural integrity by acting as a barrier that holds the tarmac in place, preventing edge wear and ensuring a a clean finish.Tarmac Surfacing:
Once the base and borders were in place, the tarmac surface was applied. Using high-quality tarmac materials, the surface was evenly spread over the sub-base, carefully smoothed and compacted to create a seamless, durable finish. The compacting process was essential for eliminating air pockets and ensuring the tarmac bonded effectively with the base layer. The result is not only visually appealing but also highly functional.- Finishing Touches: The project was completed with a series of final touches to ensure the highest level of quality. The driveway was thoroughly cleaned to remove and debris, loose materials or excess tarmac, leaving a smooth, clean finish. The site was inspected for any imperfections, and adjustments were made where necessary to ensure the final product met exacting standards. The result was a perfectly installed driveway, ready for immediate use and designed to last for years to come.
