Tarmac Driveways in Bearsden
East Dunbartonshire · Free survey · Fixed written quote
Bearsden driveways are usually longer and wider than the city average — sweeping in-and-out drives, turning areas and double garages set back from the road. That means depth and edge restraint matter even more, because a long drive carries turning loads across its whole width rather than in two fixed wheel tracks.
We lay tarmac driveways throughout Bearsden, Westerton, Kessington, Killermont and Canniesburn. Every drive is excavated to formation, membraned, built up in compacted MOT type 1 and finished with a hot-laid base and wearing course, with kerbing or block edging where the tarmac meets planting and lawn.
Why Bearsden homeowners choose TK Driveways
Built for long Bearsden drives
Turning circles and in-out drives get extra sub-base depth so the tarmac does not rut where cars pivot.
Tidy work on mature plots
Established hedging, walls and lawn edges are protected, and spoil is loaded straight out rather than stockpiled on your grass.

How we build a Bearsden tarmac driveway
1. Free site survey
We measure the area, check levels, ground conditions and drainage, then price it properly.
2. Excavation & disposal
The old surface and sub-soil are dug out to the depth the ground requires and taken away.
3. Membrane & MOT type 1
A geotextile membrane goes over the formation, then MOT type 1 compacted in layers with a roller.
4. Edging & kerbing
Every perimeter is kerbed or haunched so the tarmac edge cannot spread or crumble.
5. Base & wearing course
Hot-laid tarmac in two courses, rolled to a dense, even finish with the correct falls.
6. Sign-off & clean-up
Site swept, spoil removed, and we walk the finished drive with you before we leave.
