Tarmac Laying Contractors in Horndean — what to expect
For homeowners across Horndean, PO8, and the wider Hampshire area, the process of laying a new tarmac drive or overlaying a tired, broken one follows a familiar rhythm that local contractors know inside out. A typical job begins with excavating the old surface, then building up a firm foundation of MOT Type 1 sub-base, which is spread and compacted in layers using a vibrating plate or, for larger private roads, a proper roller to ensure there is no soft spot left to sink later. On top of this, an AC 20 binder course is laid to give the structure its strength, followed by an AC 10 surface course for that smooth, dark finish. For existing surfaces that are still sound but showing cracks or wear, a plane and overlay approach works well, where the top layer is milled off, a tack coat is applied to help the new asphalt bond, and fresh material is laid without disturbing the base. Edge restraint kerbs are often fitted first to keep the edges crisp and prevent the tarmac from feathering, and dropped kerbs are a common addition for those wanting vehicle access from the street. Driveway drainage is always considered too, as standing water can shorten a surface’s life considerably. If you are weighing up the options for a path, drive, or even a tar and chip finish for a more rustic look, it is worth speaking to a couple of local firms in Horndean to compare quotes and get a feel for what they suggest for your property.
