Tarmac Driveways

A professionally laid tarmac driveway is one of the most cost-effective ways to transform the front of a home. We excavate to the correct depth, lay a compacted stone sub-base, install edge restraints and drainage where needed, then finish with a high-quality hot tarmac surface course. The result is a clean, flexible, hard-wearing drive that copes beautifully with Belfast's wet winters.

Machine Laying

For larger driveways, shared entrances, commercial yards and road projects, machine laying delivers a truly professional finish. Using modern pavers and rollers, we lay surfacing to an exact depth and compact it evenly for a smooth, durable result that simply can't be matched by hand-laying alone.

The CMC approach

Our standard installation process

We use the same professional, proven approach on every job, because it’s the right way to build a surface that lasts.

01.

Site survey & measure

Every project starts with a detailed site survey and accurate measurements. We assess the existing ground conditions, levels, access and drainage requirements to ensure the work is properly planned from the outset.

02.

Excavation & sub-base prep

We prepare the ground thoroughly, excavating to the required depth before installing and compacting a suitable sub-base. This creates a strong, stable foundation designed to withstand everyday use.

03.

Drainage & edge restraints

Effective drainage and secure edge restraints are essential for a long-lasting finish. We install the necessary drainage solutions and edging to help manage surface water and keep the finished area neat and stable.

04.

Surface lay & compaction

Once the foundations are prepared, we lay the chosen surface with care and precision. The finished surface is then thoroughly compacted to create a smooth, durable and professional result.

Reliable, Long-Lasting Surfaces

Whether you need a new driveway, private road, car park or commercial surface, our experienced team can deliver a durable finish built to last. From initial site preparation through to the final layer, we take care of every stage with a focus on quality, efficiency and attention to detail.
