Our Process

Our dedicated team begins by laying the materials on a sturdy concrete or tarmac base, meticulously selecting the right foundation for your project. Unsure which option suits your property best? We’re here to offer expert advice tailored to your needs and budget. Once the base is prepared, we apply the tar and chip finish, meticulously press-rolling it to achieve a seamless, natural look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some of the frequently asked questions we often receive from our customers. We’ve provided clear answers to help you better understand our surfacing materials, installation processes, and how to maintain a long-lasting finish.
Some Ipswich areas may be prone to surface water or flooding. For a tar-and-chip driveway, we carefully design fall, soakaways or drainage outlets so water doesn’t pool on the chip surface, which could loosen chips or degrade the bitumen layer.
Yes, provided the sub-base and binder thickness are specified accordingly. We would increase structural depth or choose heavier-duty bitumen if the Ipswich property sees heavier vehicles or occasional trailers to ensure the tar-and-chip surface remains stable under varying loads.
For best results, warmer, dry conditions help the bitumen cure and the chips to embed properly. In the Ipswich region, it’s prudent to schedule the works in late spring to early autumn so that the driveway sets well ahead of winter, avoiding moisture-related issues soon after installation.
