Which is The Best – Asphalt or Tarmac?

Are you seeking to invest in a new surface? If so, get in touch with Steve Collins Surfacing today as we can answer the age old question; which is the best – Asphalt or Tarmac? Plus, we can supply you with a high-quality product that is guaranteed to last.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A SURFACE COMPRISED OF ASPHALT OR TARMAC?

When it comes to choosing a new surface, it pays to hire the best and at Steve Collins Surfacing, we are here to help. We often find that customers ask us which is better, tarmac or asphalt and what the differences are between the two.

Tarmac is derived from mixing tar with gravel to create a stable aggregate that can be applied directly to the surface. Asphalt is a more modern variation in which naturally occurring tar is replaced by bitumen which is a by-product of the oil industry. The differences end there as both asphalt and tarmac provide fantastic surfacing properties.

At Steve Collins Surfacing, our team will conduct a site survey of your property to assess the work required to lay your new surface. From driveways to paving, our affordable quotes will detail the cost required so you can stay in control of your budget. We will use either tarmac or stone mastic asphalt that is laid over a base specially prepared by our surfacing specialists.

All work will be carried out by us in full compliance with British industry standards and health and safety regulations. Upon completion of your asphalt or tarmac surface, we will see to it that your site is left neat and tidy and ready for use.


We can assist all clients with their driveway requirements, whatever they may be, and we work with a variety of materials, including asphalt.

As a company, we use only the finest quality materials sourced from the most reputable providers. A combination of modern state-of-the-art equipment and tried and tested techniques will ensure an exceptional and long-lasting finish. However, should you encounter any issues after we have left, our team will be happy to return to put right any problems.
