Frame Your Driveway in Grey: Tarmac Solutions with Chic Edging
Tarmac has been a popular choice for residential driveways due to the many benefits it provides. Some of them are:
- Low maintenance – Compared to alternatives like loose stone or block paving, tarmac requires very little ongoing maintenance. Just occasional weed treatment, moss/lichen removal and sealing.
- Quick drainage – The impermeable surface prevents water pooling on the driveway, keeping it safe to walk on and reducing the risk.
- Aesthetics – Tarmac offers a smooth, neat finish that complements all property styles. Grey edging provides extra visual appeal.
- Cost-effective – Simple installation makes tarmac very economical compared to other driveway options. And due to its long lifespan, it works out cheaper long-term.
Grey Edging for Tarmac Driveways
For a smart, distinctive finish we highly recommend tarmac driveways with grey edging along the driveway perimeter. Grey concrete edging has an attractive natural stone aesthetic that beautifully complements standard black tarmac.
It delineates and contains the driveway surface area, preventing erosion at the edges whilst providing a subtle visual enhancement.
Grey edging can match or contrast light grey house rendering equally well. Compared to standard white concrete kerbing, it avoids a harsh or distracting tone alongside darker tarmac.
Driveway Maintenance Tips
With proper installation, tarmac requires very little ongoing maintenance. But regular checks and minor upkeep will maximise its lifespan and performance.
We recommend:
- Annual visual checks – Monitor surface wear, holes or moss growth
- Sweep debris – Remove gravel or organic matter like leaves to prevent damage
- Moss & weed control– Spot treat any growths using driveway cleaner/weedkiller
- Filling small holes – Repair surface holes or cracks as soon as they appear
- Resealing every 5 years – Restores weathered tarmac and prevents further wear
For driveway damage beyond minor DIY fixes, get in touch straight away. We can undertake affordable repairs to restore your tarmac surface without needing a full replacement.
