Tarmac Laying Contractors in Whitcombe β what to expect
Whether you are refreshing a tired front garden in Whitcombe or laying a stout private road across a paddock, the tarmac work here in DT2 follows a familiar, weather-tested sequence. A contractor will first strip back any failed surface, then bring in MOT Type 1 sub-base, spread and levelled before a plate compactor or a heavy roller knocks it down to a firm, even platform. From there, the AC 20 binder course goes on as the working layer, and once that has been compacted and left to settle, a final AC 10 surface course is laid to give that smooth, dark finish you expect from a proper driveway. For paths and narrower runs, edge restraint kerbs are set first to hold the material in place, and where the existing tarmac is still sound but tired, a plane and overlay saves on excavationβjust a tack coat to bond the new layer to the old, then the fresh surface goes straight down. Dropped kerbs and driveway drainage are often handled in the same visit, so the whole plot ties together without standing water or awkward lips. Some owners in Whitcombe also ask for a tar and chip finish on longer gravel drives, which gives a firmer surface without the full cost of a complete overlay. Whatever the scale, the local crews know Dorsetβs clay and chalk, so they set the sub-base depth accordingly. If you are weighing up a resurface or a new lay, it is worth comparing a couple of local quotes to see who offers the most sensible programme for your own drive.
