Start Your Preparation for the Colder Months Now

It may feel like summer isn’t quite over yet, but winter really is just around the corner! If you are looking for ways to make your outdoor space more resilient against all that the cold weather has in store, then a tarmac driveway could be a great addition to your property. Here’s what makes tarmac so special in the colder months – and how KDG Surfacing can help you.

The Winter-Proof Driveway

Tarmac surfacing has long been a preferred choice for driveways due to its remarkable ability to withstand extreme weather conditions. Winter can be particularly challenging, so here’s how tarmac holds its own during those months:

  • Durability: Tarmac is incredibly durable. It is designed to withstand heavy loads and extreme temperature fluctuations – which is especially handy during winter when the ground can freeze and thaw repeatedly.
  • Quick Snow and Ice Melting: Tarmac driveways have a dark colour that absorbs and retains heat from the sun. This heat absorption helps to melt snow and ice quickly, making it easier to keep your driveway clear and safe to navigate.
  • Smooth Surface: Tarmac provides a smooth, even surface that reduces the risk of slips and falls during icy conditions. It’s also less likely to form dangerous potholes or cracks that can be a hazard in winter.
  • Easy Maintenance: Tarmac driveways are relatively low maintenance, requiring only occasional attention and minimal repairs. This simplicity makes it easy for homeowners to keep their driveway in great condition even when the weather isn’t playing ball!
  • Cost-Effective: Tarmac is an affordable driveway material. It offers excellent value for its durability and performance, making it a wise investment for those in areas prone to harsh winters. As you well know, the UK can become very chilly indeed!
