Tarmac, also known as asphalt or bitmac, is a blend of aggregates and bitumen that creates a smooth, hard-wearing surface. It’s one of the most popular driveway materials in the UK thanks to its durability, weather resistance, and excellent value for money.

Tarmac driveways are ideal for Derby homeowners who want a long-lasting surface that can handle heavy use without cracking or breaking down. The smooth finish provides excellent drainage and can be laid quickly compared to other materials.
