Tarmac Driveways
Tarmac is a practical, durable, and cost-effective choice for domestic driveways. At Apollo Surfacing, we install high-quality tarmac driveways that provide a clean, professional finish and excellent long-term performance. Ideal for everything from single-car drives to larger entrances, tarmac offers a smooth surface that stands up to regular vehicle use, changing weather, and daily wear and tear. With proper base preparation and expert application, your tarmac driveway will look great and perform reliably for many years.
Our team handles every aspect of the process, from excavation and drainage to edging and finishing touches. We also offer custom borders in block or stone for added visual appeal. Whether you’re replacing an old surface or installing a brand-new drive, we’ll ensure your new tarmac driveway complements your property and meets the highest standards. We work quickly, safely, and with minimal disruption to your home.
Resin Bound Driveways
Resin bound driveways offer a stylish, modern alternative to traditional surfacing — perfect for homeowners looking to add kerb appeal and value to their property. Made by blending natural aggregates with clear resin, this surface delivers a smooth, seamless finish that’s also fully permeable, helping with drainage and preventing puddles. Available in a wide range of colours and finishes, resin bound surfacing is low maintenance, slip-resistant, and UV-stable, making it ideal for both practical use and visual impact.
Apollo Surfacing uses only high-quality UV-stable resins and carefully selected aggregates to ensure a long-lasting result. We lay resin bound surfacing over a prepared base, typically tarmac or concrete, to create a durable and decorative finish that’s built to last. Whether you’re enhancing a modern build or refreshing the look of a traditional property, a resin bound driveway is a smart and attractive investment. We’ll guide you through every option and help you create a finish that complements your home.
Garden & Entrance Paths
A well-laid path not only improves access around your home or garden but also enhances the overall look and feel of your outdoor space. Apollo Surfacing designs and installs bespoke garden and entrance paths using both tarmac and resin bound materials. Whether you’re looking for a durable, no-nonsense walkway or a decorative surface that adds character to your landscaping, we can help you choose the best option to suit your property and lifestyle.
We prepare every surface with the same level of care and expertise we bring to larger driveway installations. Drainage, edging, and finish are all carefully considered to ensure a smooth, safe, and lasting result. Resin bound paths offer colour variety and design flexibility, while tarmac provides a robust, cost-effective alternative for high-traffic areas. No matter the material or layout, we’ll deliver a path that’s practical, attractive, and built to last.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between tarmac and resin bound surfacing?
Tarmac is a traditional surfacing material made from tar and aggregate, known for its strength, durability, and quick installation time. It’s ideal for driveways that need to withstand regular vehicle use and heavy foot traffic. Resin bound surfacing, on the other hand, is a decorative, permeable option made from natural aggregate mixed with clear resin. It offers a smooth, modern finish in a wide range of colours, and is great for enhancing kerb appeal. Both are excellent choices depending on your needs, and we’re happy to advise on what’s best for your home.
Will I need planning permission for a new driveway?
In most cases, you won’t need planning permission if the surface is permeable, such as resin bound surfacing, or if proper drainage is in place. However, if you’re installing an impermeable surface like tarmac and it affects drainage or leads onto a public road, permission may be required. If you’re also planning a dropped kerb, that typically needs local authority approval. We’re experienced in these situations and can help guide you through any necessary applications. It’s always best to check with your local planning office or ask us for advice.
Is resin bound surfacing suitable for driveways?
Yes, resin bound surfacing is an excellent option for domestic driveways. It’s strong enough to handle cars and light vehicles while offering a decorative, low-maintenance finish. It’s also fully permeable, which means water drains through the surface naturally, helping to prevent puddling or runoff. Resin bound driveways come in a wide choice of colours and textures, allowing you to customise the look of your property. With the right preparation and professional installation, a resin bound surface can last over 15 years.
How long do resin and tarmac driveways last?
When installed correctly, tarmac driveways typically last 15–20 years, and resin bound surfaces can last just as long with proper care. Durability depends on usage, drainage, and ongoing maintenance, but both materials offer excellent long-term performance. Tarmac is particularly robust for heavy vehicle use, while resin bound is more resistant to cracking and offers better aesthetics. Regular cleaning and occasional maintenance will help extend the life of your surface. We also provide guaranteed work for added peace of mind.
Can I choose colours and finishes for my driveway?
Yes, especially with resin bound surfacing. Resin bound offers a wide range of colours and aggregate blends, from natural stone effects to contemporary greys and earth tones. This allows you to match your driveway to your home’s exterior or garden design. Tarmac is more limited in appearance, typically finished in black or red, but can be bordered with brick or stone for a more decorative look. Our team can show you samples and help you choose the right finish for your home.
Is there much maintenance involved?
Both tarmac and resin bound driveways are relatively low maintenance, especially compared to block paving or gravel. Tarmac may require occasional sealing or patching over time, while resin bound surfaces benefit from regular sweeping and occasional pressure washing to prevent weed growth and maintain their appearance. It’s also important to keep the surface clear of heavy oils or chemicals. We’ll provide full aftercare guidance after installation to help you keep your driveway in excellent condition for years to come.
Can you resurface or extend an existing driveway?
Yes, we can resurface existing tarmac driveways or extend them to accommodate more parking space or improve layout. We’ll assess the current condition to determine if the base is suitable for resurfacing or if a full replacement is needed. Extensions can be blended in for a seamless finish, especially with tarmac. Resin bound can also be installed over existing concrete or tarmac bases if they’re in good condition. We’re happy to offer a free assessment and honest advice on the best approach.
