- Cheltenham's Trusted Local Landscaping & Building Team
A well-laid tarmac driveway is hard to beat for sheer practicality. It’s tough, quick to install, easy to look after and far kinder on the budget than many of the alternatives — without sacrificing that clean, tidy finish that lifts the front of any home. At Cheltenham Landscaping & Building Services Ltd, we lay quality tarmac driveways across Cheltenham, with thorough foundation work and careful installation techniques that keep the surface firm, smooth and good-looking for the long term.
If you’re after a hardwearing surface that’s ready to use within a day or two of laying, tarmac is one of the most sensible choices around. Replacing an old, crumbling drive or starting from scratch on a new one – either way, you’ll get honest guidance, a swift install and a clean, professional result you can pull straight onto.

Brand-new tarmac driveways laid using top-grade materials and a fully prepared sub-base – the right depths, the right compaction, and a finish built for years of use.
Pick from the classic black finish or a warmer red option to better suit the look of your property. Both are durable, long-lasting and look smart against any frontage.
Add a touch of definition with block paving or stone edging around the perimeter. It frames the drive nicely and gives the whole installation a tidier, more finished appearance.
Cracks, dips, potholes or worn patches? We can patch and repair smaller issues, resurface tired drives, or take up and re-lay the whole surface depending on what's needed.
Every job includes the groundwork – levelling, compacting and setting up proper drainage – so the surface doesn't shift, sink or hold puddles after heavy rain.
Tarmac is one of the fastest driveway surfaces to lay, and we work to a tight, well-organised schedule so disruption at home is kept to a minimum without ever cutting corners on quality.
A properly installed tarmac drive can take the weight of daily cars, the odd delivery van and pretty much anything the British weather throws at it – without complaint.
You’ll get a clear written quote upfront with everything broken down – materials, labour, groundwork, removal of the old surface – so what we quote is what you pay.
No sealing, no jet washing, no constant maintenance. The occasional sweep and the odd weed pull are about all you’ll ever need to do – ideal if you’d rather spend your weekends doing something else.
We’re in and around Cheltenham every working day, so site visits are easy, prices are fair, and you’ll always be dealing with a team that takes pride in the work it leaves behind.

For most domestic driveways, the whole process – including digging out the old surface and laying the new one – takes around two to four working days. Tarmac itself sets quickly, so the drive is usable within a day or two of being laid.
Yes, tarmac actually copes very well with slopes and uneven ground, as it can be laid to follow the natural contours of the site. The key is getting the sub-base and falls right – which we always factor in during the preparation stage.
Tarmac will lighten slightly over the years as it's exposed to the sun and weather, but this is gradual and tends to look perfectly natural. If you want to refresh the colour after several years, a tarmac restorer can bring back that deeper finish.
Definitely – block paving or stone edges work brilliantly with tarmac and give the driveway a smarter, more polished frame. We'll talk you through the options when we quote.
