Preparation Matters

A quality tarmac surface starts long before the final layer.

The strength and lifespan of a tarmacadam surface depends heavily on what happens before the surface is laid. Poor preparation can lead to dips, cracking, drainage issues and premature wear.

At Dawkes & Co Ltd, every project is reviewed properly so the preparation, base works, drainage and finishing details are suitable for the site and how the surface will be used.

Built properly from the ground up. Whether it is a car park, school playground, access road or driveway, we focus on preparation, compaction and drainage so the finished surface performs as well as it looks.
01

Site Assessment

We review the existing surface, levels, access, intended use, drainage requirements and any preparation needed before quoting.

02

Excavation & Base Works

Where required, unsuitable material is removed and the base is prepared to support the new tarmac surface properly.

03

Drainage & Levels

Drainage, falls and surface water movement are considered to help reduce standing water and long-term surface problems.

04

Kerbing & Edging

Kerbs, edging and finishing details help protect the surface, define the area and create a clean professional finish.

05

Surfacing & Compaction

The surface is installed using suitable materials and compacted correctly for a durable, even and practical result.

06

Final Finish

Once complete, the finish is checked for presentation, usability and practical performance before the site is left tidy.
