Tarmac Driveways Kent

Durable, Low-Maintenance, and Perfect for Everyday Use

If you’re after a driveway that’s strong, straightforward, and built to take daily wear and tear without complaint, tarmac is a brilliant choice. At LED Construction, we specialise in the professional installation of tarmac driveways for homeowners across Sittingbourne and Kent. It’s a cost-effective and clean-looking surface that remains a firm favourite for all the right reasons.

Tarmac is known for its smooth black finish and excellent durability. It’s used everywhere, from residential drives to major roads – and for good reason. When laid properly, it offers superb strength, quick drainage, and low maintenance. That means no wobbling slabs, no gravel spilling onto the path, and no constant weeding.

One of tarmac’s key benefits is speed. Once the groundwork is done, it can be laid and ready to use in a matter of days – which makes it a great option for busy households. It’s also budget-friendly, making it an excellent value alternative to more decorative driveway options while still offering a crisp, professional appearance.

The surface itself can be enhanced with extras like block edging, decorative kerbs or gravel borders if you want to soften the look or tie it in with the rest of your garden or landscape.

Whether you’re resurfacing a tired, cracked driveway or installing something brand new, our experienced team handles the entire process – from excavation and base preparation to tarmac laying and finishing. The result? A smooth, sturdy surface that looks great and lasts for years.

How We Install Tarmac Driveways

A Solid Process That Prioritises Quality from the Ground Up

Every good driveway starts beneath the surface – and with tarmac, proper groundwork is key. At LED Construction, we follow a tried and tested process to ensure your driveway isn’t just well-laid, but also built to last.

We begin with a free consultation and site survey. During this visit, we’ll assess your existing surface (or proposed driveway area), take measurements, and identify any drainage requirements. From there, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with everything included.

Once agreed, we get started on the groundwork. This means clearing the area, excavating to the correct depth, and installing a solid sub-base – typically compacted MOT Type 1 stone – which supports the structure and helps manage water flow.

Next comes a binding layer of tarmac (also known as the base course), followed by the final wearing course – a smooth, high-quality layer of hot tarmac that is rolled out and compacted for a uniform finish. We work quickly and efficiently to reduce disruption and ensure a safe, level surface that will take the weight of vehicles without cracking or sinking.

If you’ve opted for extras like edging or kerb stones, these are installed with precision to frame your drive, help with drainage and give a more finished look.

The entire process usually takes just a few days from start to finish, depending on the size of the project and site conditions. And once it’s set – usually within 24–48 hours – your new tarmac driveway is ready for use.

Tarmac is a brilliant all-rounder – practical, professional, and perfect for everyday living. And when installed by a team that knows what they’re doing, it’s one of the best value driveway options available.
