New driveways, resurfacing and extensions for houses, shared driveways and rural properties.
See drivewaysA cost-effective sealed surface for long rural driveways, farm roads, access tracks and large areas where a hot mix asphalt finish is not needed.
A spray seal is hot bitumen binder sprayed onto a prepared and compacted base, with a layer of stone spread over it and rolled in. It seals the base from water and gives a durable, stony running surface.
A spray seal costs less per square metre than asphalt and suits long distances and lower-traffic areas. Asphalt gives a smoother, denser finish that handles turning traffic better, which is why it is the usual choice for house frontages, car parks and commercial areas. See asphalt driveways.
Long gravel driveways and farm roads that wash out, rut or throw up dust can be sealed once the base is shaped and compacted.
Older sealed surfaces that have become bare, cracked or brittle can be resealed to renew the surface and keep water out of the base.
Often, yes, once the gravel base is reshaped and compacted. Send photos and the rough length and width.
No. It has a stonier texture. That is why it suits rural roads and long driveways more than house frontages.
