Services
Resin Bound Paving
Our resin bound paving combines natural aggregates with proprietary resin for durable, SUDS-compliant surfaces. Ideal for high-end driveways and commercial areas, this porous system resists discolouration and requires minimal maintenance. Available in multiple colour blends to complement any property aesthetic.
Coloured Tarmac
We offer black or red macadam surfacing using stone mastic asphalts with polymodified binders. This heavy-duty solution resists modern vehicle trafficking while maintaining classic aesthetics. Particularly suitable for driveways requiring both durability and visual appeal.
Mastic Asphalt
Our mastic asphalt solutions provide hard-wearing surfaces for industrial estates and carriageways. The 14mm hot rolled asphalt formulation resists static turning from heavy vehicles, featuring 20mm precoated chippings for enhanced skid resistance across 35-45mm thickness applications.
Block Paving
We install traditional block paving using 90mm or 45mm standard blocks, plus Tegula mixed-sized blocks in random course patterns. This versatile solution offers both classic and contemporary driveway designs with enhanced durability through proper sub-base preparation.
Hot Tack and Gravel
Our surface dressing technique applies viscous tack followed by gravel compaction. While aesthetically pleasing in rural settings, we advise against its use on gradients due to potential gravel migration. Ideal for low-traffic parking areas requiring natural aesthetics.
