Should I tarmac my car park?

Tarmac surfaced car parks are commonly associated with public and commercial areas, but this surfacing material has excellent properties that makes it an attractive option for residential properties as well.


Whether it is a residential driveway that can hold one, two or three cars, a pub car park that can hold ten, or an out-of-town supermarket with parking for 500, tarmac is an ideal surface that is long lasting and cost efficient.


As our web page on Tarmac Drives explains: “Tarmacadam is a very popular material for surfacing driveways, forecourts and parking areas. It is competitively priced, low maintenance and offers a smart, clean and uniform finish.” 


We also describe the exciting variety of tarmac surfacing solutions and decorative features that can enhance outdoor areas adjacent to domestic housing or business premises, namely:

  • Red or black tarmacadam
  • Block paving borders with tarmacadam infill
  • Decorative chippings rolled into the surface
  • Mixed finishes
  • Tar and chip surfaces
  • Resin Bonding
