Tarmacadam

Tarmac is relatively inexpensive compared to other surfacing materials. It offers a cost-effective solution, especially for large areas like car parks, and can be laid and set quickly, minimising disruption and downtime. This makes it an ideal choice for busy areas where time is critical.

When properly maintained, tarmac driveways can withstand heavy traffic and most weather conditions. This popular driveway and car park surfacing solution provides a smooth, comfortable platform for vehicles and pedestrians.

Resin-Bound Surfacing

These surfaces offer various decorative options, including multiple colours and aggregates, enhancing the visual appeal of driveways and car parks. The material is porous, allowing water to drain through the surface, reducing the risk of flooding and standing water.

Our resin-bound driveways are highly durable and resistant to cracking, even in harsh weather conditions. They can withstand heavy traffic without significant wear, require minimal maintenance, do not need frequent resealing, and are easy to clean.

Block Paving

Many homeowners and commercial property owners in Gloucester opt for block paving. It offers a variety of designs, colours and patterns, allowing for customised and visually appealing driveway and car park surfaces.

Individual blocks can be replaced if damaged, making repairs straightforward and cost-effective. Block paving is also highly durable and can handle heavy loads and high traffic. It is resistant to oil and chemical spills, making it suitable for public areas.

Dropped Kerbs

Our expert tarmac contractors at Acorn Surfacing also install dropped kerbs with precision and care, ensuring seamless integration with existing pavements. We prioritise accessibility, safety and durability and adhere to all local authority regulations.
