Private Driveways
A natural stone finish for your drive
Surface dressing, often called tar and chip, is one of our main jobs on private driveways. A binder goes down over a prepared base and stone chippings are rolled into it, giving a natural stone finish with good grip that seals the drive against water.
It suits long drives and country properties especially well, and it can also refresh an existing tarmac drive that has started to wear. We check the base first, so the finish goes onto something that will hold it.
