1

Step 1: Site clearance
We clear the area of any debris, vegetation or old surfacing. Our team then excavate the ground to the required depth, to the correct levels and gradients for drainage and to prevent water pooling.
2

Step 2: Sub-base
The sub-base is a crucial layer, and it’s usually made up of aggregate. We lay this material and compact it to create a solid load-bearing layer. This prevents subsidence and provides the tarmac with the necessary structural support.
3

Step 3: Edge restraints
To keep your tarmac surface looking neat, we install edge restraints. These can be concrete kerbs or block paving. These will contain the tarmac and prevent it from spreading or cracking at the edges.
4

Step 4: Tarmac layering
Once the base is ready, we apply the tarmac in layers. For domestic driveways, this typically consists of a base course and a wearing course. For commercial areas, multiple layers ensure the strength and longevity to handle heavy traffic.
5

Step 5: Compaction
We use heavy rollers to compact the tarmac after it is laid. This step eliminates air voids, binds the aggregates together, and increases the density of the material. This process makes it extremely durable and wear-resistant.
6

Step 6: Surface finishing
Our operatives pay attention to getting a smooth, even surface. We hand-finish the edges and intricate areas to achieve a uniform texture and a professional finish throughout the entire installation.
7

Step 7: Curing
After compaction, the tarmac needs to cool and harden. We advise on the curing period during which the surface reaches its maximum strength and stability.
8
Step 8: Quality check
Finally, a quality check is performed to ensure that every aspect of the installation meets Pavecraft’s high standards. We check for levels, drainage, surface consistency, and finish to ensure you’re satisfied with your new tarmac surface in Hertfordshire.
