About KDG Surfacing
Why is a tar and chip driveway such a good choice for domestic and commercial properties? Well, it is very hard wearing and offers good traction, which makes it ideal for areas that have to stand up to lots of daily wear and tear. Tar and chip is also totally weatherproof, which is a huge selling point given the unpredictability of the weather in the UK. No matter whether it is frosty, wet, or very hot, you can be sure that your tar and chip drive will not succumb to the elements It’s also great value for money, which has made it really popular with customers working with smaller budgets.
We are the tar and chip supplier Peterborough customers trust and have worked on a wide range of jobs in and around this part of Cambridgeshire. Most customers come to us looking for quick, affordable and long-lasting covering of their driveways, paths, and roads. We are able to get to work right away on a variety of jobs, tailoring our services to meet the unique challenges posed by each one. The process begins with us laying the materials on a concrete or tarmac base. We then apply a tar and chip finish to that, press-rolling to ensure that the finished surface is totally smooth. Tar and chip results in a really natural look, which makes it suitable for modern and period properties alike.

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.
Yes. If the driveway entrance connects to a public road, the Peterborough city/district authority may have requirements (e.g., surface fall, materials, drainage). We check with the local highway authority and ensure the tar-and-chip solution complies with any local standards.
Yes, whether the property is on a suburban street or a semi-rural setting changes factors like runoff volume, surface fall and material style. We adapt the tar-and-chip design accordingly (for example, tighter drainage for suburban, more robust base for semi-rural) for the Peterborough areas.
If the driveway includes a parking area or turning zone, we ensure the tar-and-chip substrate is adequately reinforced, define edge restraints to prevent chip loss, and provide detailing for drainage. This ensures the surface remains safe and durable under usage typical for Peterborough homes.
