Tarmac Driveways in Hamilton, Glasgow & Lanarkshire
A tarmac driveway is still the best value surface for a Scottish home. Laid properly over a compacted sub-base it shrugs off frost, heavy rain and daily car traffic, and it can be walked on within hours of the final roll. TK Driveways installs new tarmac drives for homeowners throughout Hamilton, Glasgow, Coatbridge, Bathgate, Edinburgh and the wider Lanarkshire area.
Every drive we lay is built from the ground up: excavate to depth, install a geotextile membrane, compact MOT type 1 in layers, then finish with a base course and a 20mm to 25mm surface course rolled hot. The result is a dense, sealed, jet-black finish with clean kerbed edges that will not ravel at the perimeter after the first winter.
Why choose TK Driveways for tarmac driveways
Best cost per square metre
Tarmac gives you the largest surfaced area for your budget — typically £45–£70/m2 in Scotland — while still lasting 15 to 20 years with basic care.
Built for Scottish weather
A sealed bituminous surface sheds water instantly and resists freeze-thaw damage far better than loose or jointed finishes.
Fast installation
Most residential driveways are excavated, prepared and surfaced within two to four working days, so your access is barely disrupted.
How we install tarmac driveways
Excavation & sub-base
We dig out 200–300mm depending on ground conditions, remove spoil, lay a separation membrane and compact type 1 stone in layers with a roller.
Edging & drainage
Concrete kerbs, block borders or timber edging hold the tarmac in place, and falls plus channel drainage keep water away from your house and neighbours.
Base & surface course
A 40–50mm binder course is laid and rolled, then a 20–25mm 6mm-size surface course for a smooth, tight, showroom finish.
