Why choose it
Why clients choose tarmac or tar and chip.
This family of surfaces is usually chosen for durability, value, scale and the ability to match the tone of the property.
Great for larger areas
On bigger frontages, longer drives and forecourts, it can offer a smart and efficient answer.
Traditional character

Clean specification
Edging, falls and drainage detail can elevate a straightforward surface into a very polished result.
Specification matters
The finish matters, but so does the detail around it.
The difference between an average tarmac job and a premium one often comes down to edge restraint, neat detailing, preparation and the way the surface meets the rest of the property.
Bonwycks treats the surrounding specification just as seriously as the top surface itself.
Base build-up
A robust foundation helps the surface perform properly over the long term.
Edge detailing
Clean edges, kerbs and transitions sharpen the whole appearance of the driveway.
Drainage strategy
Falls, channels and runoff management still need careful thought on hard-wearing surfaces.
