What our customers say
I found the whole exercise went seamlessly from beginning to end. The work entailed removal of existing bedding and plants, preparing the site, putting down tarmac, and finally a top coat of epoxy resin. I'm delighted with my new driveway and admire the skill and craftsmanship that went in to producing it.
The team laid such a marvellous block paved driveway for me that I asked them to renew my front path and steps to the house. Finally they regrouted the side and back pathway up to the back door. Thoroughly professional workmanship by cheerful and friendly individuals - I would definitely recommend this company.
We have had P&L Landscapers in to do our front garden and driveway. What a pleasure it was to have the team with us doing the works. The two main guys were friendly and professional producing a top quality job. The boss was helpful and very knowledgeable, helping us through the planning process and taking the time to explain the details. All in all a very good bunch of guys and girls and I have great pleasure in recommending them.

FAQs
Tarmac driveway questions
Something not covered? Send your question with your enquiry and we'll answer it directly.
How long does a new tarmac driveway take?+
Most domestic tarmac driveways are completed in two to four days, depending on the size, access and how much excavation and drainage work is needed. We'll give you a realistic schedule with your quote.
Can you lay tarmac over an existing driveway?+
Sometimes. If the existing base is sound, an overlay can work well. Where the surface is cracked, sinking or poorly drained, we'll recommend digging out and rebuilding so the new tarmac driveway lasts.
When can I drive on it?+
Tarmac is usually walkable within a few hours and ready for cars the following day. We'll confirm on site, and let you know how to look after it in the first few weeks.
Do you cover my area?+
We work with homeowners across Sussex and the surrounding areas. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we'll confirm straight away.
What does a tarmac driveway cost?+
It depends on size, the depth of excavation, drainage, edging and access for machinery. That's why we talk everything through with you and give you an itemised written quotation rather than a rough guess over the phone.
