Concrete and Tarmac

CONCRETE

Concrete is often overlooked as a potential pavement surface, mostly because of its lack of colour or interest. Plain concrete can be very useful in areas where a decorative look is not required, such as caravan hardstandings, shed and garage bases or dog kennels. It is utilitarian and quite cheap. By combining plain concrete with a decorative edging, such as a brick edging, it can be made to look quite attractive.

Modern concrete technology has led to the development of fibre reinforced concretes that create high-strength pavements without the need for steel reinforcement mesh. SRC Paving will advise you on the most suitable type and strength of concrete for your project.

	TARMAC Tarmac, correctly refered to as bituminous macadam or "Bitmac" for brevity, is often thought to be the cheapest method of surfacing a driveway or forecourt, but for smaller areas it can work out quite expensive, and the red tarmac can be more expensive than block paving. Tarmac is suitable for areas to be trafficked by vehicles, such as drives and forecourts, and can be used for paths, although we are not overly keen on using tarmac for garden paths.
