Tarmac Laying Contractors in Cox's Green — what to expect

Whether you’re refreshing a tired-looking frontage or laying a sturdy new drive from scratch, the tarmac contractors working around Cox’s Green offer a full range of surfacing services suited to the Somerset landscape. For a brand-new driveway or private road, the standard approach involves excavating to the correct depth, laying and compacting a MOT Type 1 sub-base, and then applying an AC 20 binder course followed by an AC 10 surface course, all finished with a smooth roller to achieve that dense, durable texture. If your existing tarmac is structurally sound but worn, a plane and overlay is often the more practical option, where the old surface is milled off, a tack coat is applied to ensure proper bonding, and a fresh layer is laid without raising the levels too noticeably. For lighter traffic areas like garden paths, a straightforward tarmac laying job with a plate compactor is usually sufficient, and many homeowners also opt for tar and chip finishes for a more decorative, textured result. Edge restraint kerbs are fitted as standard to keep everything neat and stable, and if you’re connecting to the highway, the contractors can handle the necessary dropped kerbs and driveway drainage requirements too. Whether it’s a small path or a longer stretch of private road, the teams in the BS40 area are used to working with the local clay soils and can offer sensible advice on the best build-up for your ground conditions.
