Driveway & Tarmac Contractors in Reading
Whether you need a completely new driveway, an existing surface repaired or resurfaced, or a larger commercial area prepared and surfaced, the quality of both the groundwork and finished surface is essential.
Easy Group provides driveway and surfacing services throughout Reading and the surrounding Berkshire area. Our work includes tarmac and asphalt surfacing, resin bound driveways, block paving, tar & chip surface dressing, drainage, ground preparation, kerbing and associated surfacing work.
We undertake both domestic and commercial projects and can assess existing surfaces before recommending whether repair, resurfacing or complete reconstruction is the most appropriate option.
Tarmac & Asphalt Surfacing in Reading
Tarmac and asphalt are widely used for domestic and commercial surfacing because they create a strong, smooth and practical finished surface. Applications range from residential driveways and private entrances to commercial forecourts, parking areas and access routes.
For new installations, preparation of the area is just as important as the finished tarmac layer. Ground conditions, sub-base construction, drainage and edging all need to be considered before surfacing begins.
Where an existing surface remains structurally suitable, resurfacing may sometimes provide a more appropriate solution than completely rebuilding the area. Our team can inspect the existing driveway or surfaced area and advise on the available options.
Tarmac Driveways in Reading
A properly installed tarmac driveway provides a clean appearance, handles regular vehicle use and requires relatively straightforward maintenance. Tarmac can also be combined with block paved borders or edging to create a more defined entrance and complement the surrounding property.
Asphalt Surfacing
Asphalt surfacing is also suitable for a range of larger residential and commercial applications. The exact specification required depends on the site, traffic levels, existing construction and intended use, which is why we assess each project individually rather than applying the same solution to every surface.
Driveway Resurfacing, Repairs & Potholes
Not every damaged driveway needs to be completely replaced. Cracking, surface wear, localised deterioration and potholes can sometimes be repaired or resurfaced depending on the condition of the underlying construction.
Potholes and failed areas should be properly assessed rather than simply covered over. Where appropriate, damaged material can be removed, the area prepared and a new surface installed to restore a safer and more usable finish.
If deterioration is being caused by poor drainage, movement or failure of the sub-base, additional preparation may be needed before resurfacing. Addressing the underlying cause can be just as important as repairing the visible damage.
Other Driveway Surfacing Options in Reading
Tarmac is not the only option available. Depending on the appearance, property, budget and existing ground conditions, resin bound surfacing, block paving or surface dressing may provide a better solution.
Resin Bound Driveways Reading
Resin bound surfacing combines natural aggregate with specialist resin to produce a smooth decorative surface. A wide range of stone blends and colours is available, making resin particularly suitable where appearance is an important part of the project.
Resin bound systems can also provide a permeable finish where the complete construction and base are suitable.
Resin Driveways →Block Paving Reading
Block paving provides considerable flexibility in colour, laying pattern and border design. It can suit both traditional and modern properties and allows individual blocks to be replaced if localised damage occurs.
Correct excavation, sub-base preparation and edging are essential to achieving a stable finished driveway.
Block Paving →Tar & Chip Surface Dressing
Surface dressing provides a textured, natural-looking finish and can be particularly effective for suitable driveways, private roads and larger access areas.
The condition of the existing surface needs to be assessed first to determine whether tar and chip is appropriate.
Surface Dressing →Drainage, Groundworks & Kerbing
Driveway installation frequently involves much more than laying the final surface. Ground excavation, sub-base construction, drainage, concrete removal and kerbing may all form part of preparing an area correctly.
These elements are considered during the survey so the finished surface has suitable support and water can be managed appropriately.
Proper Ground Preparation Matters
A driveway that looks good on completion still needs to perform years later. The construction below the visible surface plays a major role in its durability. We assess each site and carry out the preparation required for the chosen surface and intended use.
