What are the benefits of a tarmac driveway?
Tarmac driveways offer several advantages, making them a popular choice for homeowners:
- Durability: Tarmac is known for its long-lasting nature, withstanding the test of time with proper care.
- Ease of Installation: Laying tarmac is straightforward on a flat, prepared surface, allowing for quick installation.
- Weather Resistance: It performs exceptionally well under various weather conditions, from intense sun to freezing temperatures.
- Uniform Appearance: Tarmac provides a smooth, uniform look that many homeowners appreciate.
- Low Maintenance: Taking care of a tarmac driveway is relatively easy, with repairs being straightforward to manage.
What are the disadvantages of a tarmac driveway?
Despite its benefits, there are some drawbacks to consider:
- Pothole Formation: Over time, tarmac can develop potholes, especially in areas with heavy vehicle traffic.
- Moss Growth: In conditions where it doesn’t dry out properly, moss can grow on the surface.
- Weed Damage: Weeds can break through tarmac, leading to cracks and compromising its integrity.
If tarmac isn’t the look you want for your home, you might want to consider concrete, brick, stone or resin driveways.
How do I know if the job has been done well?
A well-executed tarmac driveway should display:
- Proper Preparation: The ground should be correctly prepared before laying the tarmac.
- Smoothness and Evenness: The surface should be smooth and even, with no bumps or irregularities.
- Complete Coverage: Tarmac should fully cover the intended area, with no gaps or missing sections.
Rated People offers reviews from previous customers, giving you insights into the quality of work delivered by our tradespeople. Additionally, our guide for hiring driveway specialists can help you understand the right questions to ensure your project meets your expectations.
Other tarmac driveway FAQs
Does tarmac add to the value of a house?
Yes, a well-maintained tarmac driveway can enhance the curb appeal and value of your property.
Do you need planning permission for tarmac?
In many cases, planning permission is not required for tarmac driveways, but it’s essential to check local regulations, especially for new or significantly altered driveways.
Does water drain through tarmac?
Standard tarmac is not permeable, but porous asphalt options allow water to drain through, reducing runoff and the risk of flooding.

We had them in to install insulation in our upstairs floor, replace the sub floor, replace some lights, install a loft hatch, and board out our loft. On top of this they discovered a problem in our roof that they fixed. We were incredibly impressed by all of the staff that attended on site. They were friendly, polite at all times, and worked really hard, to a high standard. I couldn't recommend James and his team more, and we've already started talking to them about a further project.

A good job, expertly carried out, but not quite up to our expectations with clearing the debris. It took us two days to get the garden back to normal. The second phase of the order is yet to be done and I’m sure that they will satisfy our requirements.

Carl and the team undertook a full landscape, fencing and decking project. It wasn't a small task, with hidden tree stumps, heavily overgrown garden and uneven levels. The team were brilliant and had the whole garden fully landscaped, including a new fence, roll on lawn, deck and a few other additional tasks completed within a week. Team turned up on time every day and worked solidly to get the job finished within the quoted timeframe. Would strongly recommend Root2Roof for the works they completed.
