Tarmac Driveways in Shrewsbury
Done properly in Shrewsbury, and cleared up after
For a long drive or a wide parking area, tarmac gives you the most surface for your money, and it goes down and is usable quickly. It is laid hot and rolled while it is still workable, which is what gives you a tight, even finish rather than a loose one. A block paved edge course or a contrasting border is worth considering: it frames the drive, and it holds the tarmac edge in, which is where a drive with no restraint starts to break up.
We take on tarmac driveways for homes across Shrewsbury and the surrounding Shropshire villages, including Oswestry, Wellington, Market Drayton. Tell us what you are looking at and we will come out and price it properly.

The process
How your Shrewsbury job runs
- 1
Come and look at the job
We measure up and check the things that actually move a price: access for a digger and a grab lorry, where the water currently drains, and whether the levels work at the threshold.
- 2
Excavate to depth
The old surface and the soft ground beneath it come out and go away. This is the step that gets skipped on a cheap drive, and it is the reason cheap drives sink.
- 3
Sub-base and edgings
A stone sub-base goes in in layers and is compacted, then the edge restraints are bedded in concrete. Without a restrained edge, any surface starts to spread and break up from the outside in.
- 4
Lay the surface
The surface you have chosen goes down onto the prepared base, set out so the falls run away from the house and towards the drainage.
- 5
Walk the finished drive with you
The spoil and offcuts leave with us and the surface is swept off, then we go round the finished drive together, make sure you are happy with it, and talk you through the few simple things that keep it looking its best for years.
The price
Tarmac Driveways costs in Shrewsbury
No two jobs price the same, and anyone quoting over the phone without seeing it is guessing. These are the things that actually move the number, and the visit to work them out is free.
- The area, and tarmac becomes better value the larger it gets
- The depth of excavation and the volume of spoil
- Whether you want a block edge course or a plain edge
- Access for a tipper and a roller
- Ground conditions, since soft ground needs more sub-base

The groundwork gets its time
The groundwork gets the time it needs. That is unglamorous, and it is the whole difference between a surface that lasts and one that moves.
- 3
Waste leaves with us
Waste leaves with us, so you are not left disposing of spoil, old slabs or brash.
- 4
One point of contact
You deal with the person doing the work, so nothing gets lost between a salesman and a fitter.
