FAQs – Driveways in Colchester
Gravel is a highly permeable material, which means it allows water to drain naturally, reducing the risk of standing water or flooding. Unlike solid surfaces, it does not crack in cold weather, making it ideal for the UK climate.
A well installed and properly maintained gravel driveway can last many decades. Over time, you may need to top up the gravel to maintain the desired level and appearance, but the surface itself remains highly durable with minimal upkeep.
Yes, in many cases tarmac can be laid over an existing surface such as concrete or an older tarmac driveway, provided the base is solid and stable. If the existing driveway is damaged or uneven, we may recommend additional preparation work to ensure a long-lasting result.
Yes, tar and chip is a superior alternative to loose gravel. While loose gravel can shift, requiring regular maintenance to keep it in place, tar and chip secures stones with hot bitumen, preventing displacement and ensuring a longer-lasting surface.
When installed professionally and properly maintained, natural stone paving can last a lifetime. Some stones, like granite and York stone, are known for their exceptional longevity and can remain intact for decades, making them a long-term investment for any property
Yes! We offer a wide selection of gravel types, colours and sizes to match your property’s aesthetic. You can also enhance your driveway with features like block paving borders, granite setts or decorative entrance rumble strips for a unique and polished look.
The cost of a tar and chip driveway depends on factors such as the size of the area, the type of aggregate chosen and any additional customisations like edging or borders. At Avenue Driveways, we offer free site surveys and no obligation quotes to provide an accurate cost tailored to your specific project.
A tar and chip driveway is a surfacing method where hot bitumen is applied to a prepared base, followed by a layer of aggregate stones. The stones are then pressed into the bitumen, creating a textured, hard-wearing surface that provides excellent grip and durability.
