What Does Asphalt Driveway Installation Include in Herefordshire?
Most of the work involved in a long-lasting driveway happens underneath the finished asphalt. The exact process will depend on the condition of the area and the finish chosen.
Work usually starts with excavation to the required depth. A stable foundation layer is then laid and compacted before the final asphalt surface is applied and finished.
Edging and Finishing
A defined edge helps keep the surface neat and prevents it breaking away, and drainage is considered as part of the design so water does not collect on the surface.
