Tarmac & Asphalt Driveways in Bath
Bath customers looking for tarmac & asphalt driveways turn to Severn Vale Driveways. Tarmac remains one of the most straightforward, cost-effective ways to resurface a driveway, and when it's laid properly it's genuinely hard-wearing under everyday family use, cars and light commercial traffic. The finish is only as good as the groundwork beneath it, so we excavate to the right depth, compact a solid sub-base, and lay the tarmac to correct falls so water is shed away from the house rather than left to sit and soften the surface over time. We can finish edges in block paving or kerbing for a smarter look, and advise on a plain black finish or a more textured surface depending on the style of your property. It's a practical option for larger drives, shared driveways, and properties where a clean, uniform surface matters more than pattern or colour. As a UNESCO World Heritage City, Bath has some of the tightest planning controls of anywhere we work — the honey-coloured stone terraces around the centre and much of the wider city sit within conservation areas where hard-surfacing choices are scrutinised closely. Resin-bound driveways in a stone-matched aggregate or muted block paving tend to sit far better against Bath stone frontages than plain black tarmac, and we always factor the city's planning sensitivities into the recommendation before quoting. Properties further out toward Odd Down and Newbridge have more flexibility.
