What to Expect from Installation in Stirling?
A proper asphalt driveway involves much more than simply laying a top surface. The exact process varies according to existing surfaces and access.
Existing driveway material and soft ground are typically removed before construction begins. A compacted stone sub-base is then installed before the hot asphalt is laid in layers and compacted with a roller.
Finishing Touches
Edging kerbs or block paving borders are often added to contain the tarmac, and the surface is laid with a slight fall so water runs away rather than pooling.
