Frequently asked questions...

Below are some of the frequently asked question about our tarmac driveways.

Can tarmac be laid in the rain?

We provide expert paving solutions designed to withstand even the toughest weather conditions. While laying tarmac in mild rain is possible, heavy rainfall can negatively impact the process. Intense rain rapidly cools the tarmac, causing it to harden prematurely and compromising its durability and finish. Additionally, standing water can lead to uneven surfaces.

To ensure the highest quality tarmac driveways in Edinburgh, we recommend scheduling tarmac laying during more stable weather. This approach ensures optimal results and maximises customer satisfaction.

How soon can I drive on my new driveway?

At Edinburgh Paving Company, we advise customers to wait before using their new driveway to ensure it sets properly and maintains durability. The waiting period depends on the material used. Driveways made of asphalt or tarmac require at least a few days to fully cure before they can bear vehicle weight without damage.

We provide specific guidance based on the type of driveway installed to guarantee the best results and longevity of your investment.

Can you get different coloured tarmac?

How does Tarmac wear?

Tarmac driveways in Edinburgh are a preferred choice for both driveways and pathways due to their ease of installation, outstanding durability, and versatility. One of the key advantages of tarmac is its ability to be laid directly over existing surfaces, simplifying the construction process and reducing overall project time. This material is known for its robustness, withstanding various weather conditions and heavy usage, making it ideal for residential and commercial properties.

Will weeds appear through my drive?

We ensure that the completion of surfacing works is followed by proper maintenance advice, especially in dealing with any weed growth.

Should you spot a root emerging on the surfaced area, it is essential to remove the head of the weed carefully to prevent further growth. This action should be followed by the application of a water-based weed killer to reinforce the protection against future weed invasions. This approach helps maintain the integrity and appearance of your newly surfaced area.

Is tarmac easy to maintain?

At Edinburgh Paving Company, we recognise that while tarmac is a highly durable and resistant material, it is not completely immune to damage. However, one of the primary benefits of using tarmac for driveways and pathways is its ease of repair. Scratches or marks on the surface can be quickly and efficiently corrected, ensuring the longevity and aesthetic appeal of the paved area. This makes tarmac an excellent choice for areas that sustain regular use.
