We lay tarmac driveways in Wythenshawe for homes across M22 and M23, from the garden city semis in Woodhouse Park and Benchill to the houses near Hollyhedge Park and the streets close to the Civic Centre. As tarmac driveway installers working all over the estate, we know many front gardens here have the space for two cars. Tarmac turns that space into a firm, smooth, low-maintenance drive at a sensible price.
Every Wythenshawe job begins with a free site survey, where we measure the garden, check the ground and look at the verge and kerb. You then receive a fixed written price, with no obligation to go ahead. Our own team handles the whole installation, never sub-contractors, and we are fully insured. We clear away all spoil and leave the verge tidy.

Customer opinions matter to us. Most of our work comes from recommendations, and here is what customers say.

Tarmac is quick to lay, tough and good value over a large area. It copes with heavy vehicles, gives a smooth, seamless finish and is easy to maintain.
Wythenshawe's generous front gardens suit tarmac well, giving a large parking area for the budget. Popular ideas include black tarmac with a grey block border, red tarmac with a charcoal kerb, or a planted strip alongside to help drainage. We also resurface old concrete drives, repair cracks and potholes, and widen parking so a van and two cars fit without spilling onto the verge.

Water gets in, freezes and breaks the surface up further.
Once the surface starts to fret, patches rarely last.
Low spots mean the surface or base has sunk.
Old tarmac loses its colour and starts to look worn.




Most Wythenshawe roads were laid out with grass verges between the pavement and the carriageway, so using a new drive usually means a dropped kerb plus a hard crossing over the verge. Manchester City Council approves both, and we explain the steps. Around Woodhouse Park and Peel Hall, close to the airport, kerbside parking is under pressure. Along Princess Parkway and other main routes, safe access matters. Gardens are usually deep enough for two cars and some planting, which also helps with drainage.
We also lay tarmac driveways in these nearby areas, with the same team and the same guarantees.

Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
Often, yes. If the existing tarmac is sound and the levels allow, we repair cracks and soft spots, apply a tack coat and lay a new surface course over the top. If it is breaking up, sinking or would end up too high against the house or the kerb, we dig out and start from a proper base.
Tarmac (asphalt) is one of the most recycled construction materials: old surfaces can be planed off and reused in new mixes. It is not permeable, so on a front driveway we make sure rainwater runs to a lawn, border or soakaway rather than onto the road.
A well-laid tarmac driveway typically lasts 12 to 15 years before it needs resurfacing or major repair. Small repairs to cracks may be needed over time, but other than that it needs very little maintenance.
Very easy. A sweep and an occasional jet wash keep it looking good. Keep weeds off the edges and get any cracks sealed early so water cannot get underneath.
Wythenshawe tarmac drive costs depend on the size of the front garden, how much turf and soil must be dug out, the base depth, edging and drainage. A dropped kerb or verge crossing, if needed, is a separate council matter. We measure at a free survey and confirm a fixed price in writing. Call 0161 841 7075 to arrange one.
No. Our tarmac driveways are always laid by our own qualified and fully insured team. We never use sub-contractors, so the people who survey your drive are the people who build it.
Tarmac is a strong choice for most Wythenshawe homes, because front gardens are usually big enough for two cars or a van and the ground is fairly level. We fall the surface to a planted border or soakaway so it meets the permeable front garden rules. If you prefer a patterned or lighter finish, block paving or resin bound can be compared at the survey.
In England, a new front driveway over 5 square metres that is not permeable needs planning permission if rainwater runs onto the road. If it drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within your property, it usually does not. We plan the falls and drainage so your new drive stays within the rules.
