Project Overview
We completed a stunning tarmac driveway installation with a decorative block paved border in Rossendale. This project transformed the entrance of the property, providing a smooth, durable and visually striking driveway that enhances both the kerb appeal and functionality of the space. The combination of tarmac with an intricate block paved border created a sleek and stylish finish that complements the surrounding landscaping and property exterior.
Site Preparation and Excavation
The project began with the removal of the existing surface, which consisted of uneven ground and old materials. We excavated the area to the necessary depth to create a stable foundation for the new driveway. Any debris was removed to ensure a clean and solid working base.
Before and After:


Groundwork and Drainage
To prevent future water pooling and ensure proper drainage, we installed a drainage system along the edges of the driveway. This step was crucial for maintaining the long-term durability of the surface and preventing any water water-related damage. A sub-base was then installed and compacted using a heavy-duty roller. This provided a strong and stable foundation, essential for supporting the weight of vehicles and maintaining the integrity over time.
Laying the Block Paving and Tarmac
The client wanted a decorative block paved border, featuring a mix of contrasting colours to frame the tarmac beautifully. Each block was carefully placed t create an eye catching pattern, enhancing the overall aesthetic. Once the edging was complete, the tarmac was laid. A high quality, heavy duty asphalt mix was applied, ensuring a smooth and seamless surface. Specialist rolling equipment was used to compact the tarmac.
The Final Result
The completed tarmac driveway not only looks fantastic but also provides long-lasting durability with minimal maintenance. The block paved border adds a premium touch, making the entrance to the property stand out. The new driveway offers better accessibility, improved drainage and a surface that will withstand the test of time. This transformation in Rossendale showcases our expertise in driveway installations, combining practicality with elegant design.
