SMA Tarmac Driveway in Rugby

Take a look at the last driveway project, completed by Summit Driveways in Rugby.

First we took out the existing tarmac driveway, including the grass area on the right hand side.

Then we installed a new border around the perimeter of the driveway using Marshalls block paving bricks and set it in concrete. We put down a new membrane and type 1 hardcore base and compacted it all down.

Finally we poured down a 3 inches thick layer of SMA tarmac and compacted it all down with a machine roller.

Brindle Block Paving Driveway in Nuneaton

Here are some before, during and after pictures of a block paving driveway project, completed by Summit Driveways in Nuneaton.

Our first step was to dig out all of the original pathway and lawn. We put down a new membrane sheeting layer on top of a soil base. We topped it with a type 1 MOT hardcore base afterwards.

Then we installed new flat top kerbing across the front and set it in concrete. We laid the driveway in a 45 degree Herringbone pattern, using Marshalls paving bricks in Brindle with a double Charcoal / single Brindle / single Charcoal border.

We also fashioned a new doorstep following the same pattern.

Imprint Concrete Driveway in Nuneaton

Take a look at some before, during and after pictures of an imprint concrete driveway, completed by Summit Driveways in Nuneaton.

First we completely dug out the existing driveway to make a continuous level. Then we built a new retaining wall on the side.

We also put down new flat top concrete footing across the front of the driveway and poured down a bit of tarmac to level it with the public footpath.

After that we laid a new hardcore foundation with a membrane and compacted it down. For an easy access to the house, we built a 3-tiered step with bricks to compliment the house's facade.

Finally we poured down the wet concrete mixture in Charcoal colour and imprinted a cobble pattern onto it. Our very last step was to apply a gloss finish to the whole project.
