Tarmac driveways are relatively low maintenance. Regular sweeping to remove debris and occasional pressure washing to remove stains are usually sufficient. Periodic resealing every few years can help maintain its appearance and prolong its lifespan.

Tarmac driveways offer several advantages, including durability, longevity, low maintenance requirements and cost-effectiveness. They can withstand heavy traffic, resist oil and fuel spills and are quick to install.

The duration of a driveway installation can vary depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the project, weather conditions and the chosen material. In general, however, most driveway installations can be completed within a few days to a couple of weeks.

Sealing is applying a protective coating to your driveway after cleaning once the surface is fully dry. It can be applied to block paving and natural stone patio slabs. Sealing puts a protective layer on the surface which is oil and water-resistant which deters staining. It also helps to harden the sand between the joints which will help deter weed growth.

Common issues include cracks, potholes, sinking or uneven surfaces, fading or discolouration and drainage problems.

Regular maintenance is essential to keep block paving looking its best and to prolong its lifespan. This includes sweeping or power washing to remove debris and dirt, periodic resealing to protect against stains and fading and repairing any cracks or loose blocks as needed. Additionally, it’s important to keep vegetation, such as weeds and grass from growing between the blocks to prevent damage.
