Tarmac Path Laying in Nottingham
CP Driveways carries out tarmac path laying throughout Nottingham and the surrounding NG11 area. A tarmac path is a practical, durable and low-maintenance surface for garden paths, access paths and service routes at residential and commercial properties. Tarmac can be laid to any width or length and follows curves and shapes more easily than block paving or slabs. We offer free quotes on tarmac path laying across Nottingham and the surrounding villages.

Garden Paths and Access Routes
Tarmac is a popular choice for garden paths because it is smooth, easy to walk on and requires very little maintenance once laid. It is also far more stable than loose gravel and does not shift or spread underfoot. We lay tarmac paths in gardens across Nottingham to a compacted, level finish with correct drainage falls so water does not sit on the surface or run toward the house.
Getting the Width and Edging Right
Tarmac paths need edge restraints to stop the material from spreading at the sides. We install kerb edgings or decorative edge stones to contain the path and give it a clean, defined line. We advise on path width based on intended use. A standard garden path needs to be wide enough for two people to pass comfortably, and a service path needs to handle whatever equipment or vehicles will be using it.
Preparation for Long-Lasting Paths
Even for narrower paths, we do not skip sub-base preparation. We excavate to the correct depth, compact a layer of hardcore and then lay the tarmac on top. A path that is laid on unprepared ground will sink, crack and develop soft spots over time. Our paths are built to last and we take the same approach to preparation on a garden path as we do on a full driveway.
ABOUT US
A tarmac path job in West Bridgford involved laying a new access path from the side gate of a property to the rear garden, replacing a muddy, uneven grass strip that had been a problem every winter. We excavated, prepared the base and laid a clean tarmac path that transformed access to the back of the house. A small job that made a big difference to how the homeowner used their garden every day. This kind of practical improvement is something we do regularly across the Nottingham area.
