Why Choose Us?

Why Local Homeowners Choose Tarmacadam Surfacing

Why is tarmac still such a favourite for driveways in Kent? Well, it’s mostly down to its sheer resilience. Our coastal weather here in Herne Bay can be a bit brutal at times, but a well-laid tarmac or bitmac surface can handle the salt air, heavy rain, and frost without breaking a sweat. It’s flexible enough to deal with temperature changes, which means you’re less likely to see the kind of cracking that ruins other surfaces.You’ll also find that driveway installation using tarmac is much faster than laying individual blocks. In many cases, we can have your new drive ready to use in just a couple of days. It’s perfect if you’ve got a busy family life and can’t have the front of your house out of action for weeks. Are you looking for a low-maintenance option? Aside from an occasional sweep or a quick wash, tarmac stays looking great for years with very little effort from you.

Who We Are

Solid Foundations Mean A Longer Lasting Driveway

Have you ever seen a driveway that’s started to sink or dip after just a few years? That usually happens because the groundworks weren't done properly. At Foster and Sons, we’re firm believers that the finish is only as good as what’s underneath it. We take the groundworks stage very seriously, ensuring we excavate to the right depth and lay a solid MOT Type 1 sub-base. This foundation is what gives the drive its strength, especially if you’re parking heavy SUVs or multiple cars on it.We use high-quality asphalt drives materials, often opting for Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) for its extra durability. We also make sure the drainage is spot on. Nobody wants a massive puddle right outside their front door every time it rains, so we ensure the surface is graded correctly to meet SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) requirements. It’s this attention to detail that separates a 'cowboy job' from a professional installation that will still look flat and firm in ten years' time.

Adding Character With Decorative Edging And Borders

Think tarmac is just boring black? Think again! While a plain black or red tarmac drive looks sleek and modern, you can really make it pop by adding some decorative touches. Most of our clients in Herne Bay choose to frame their new driveway with block-paving borders or natural stone kerbs. It adds a bit of 'wow factor' and gives the whole area a more premium, finished look.We can help you choose colours that complement your house bricks—perhaps a charcoal grey block border against a deep black tarmac, or a warm limestone edge to brighten things up. These driveway edging details don't just look good; they also help to contain the tarmac and provide a crisp, clean line against your lawn or flower beds. It's these little flourishes that turn a simple parking space into a real feature of your garden design.

Professional Repairs For Cracked Or Sunken Tarmac

Maybe you don’t need a whole new drive, but your current one is looking a bit sad? Potholes and cracks aren't just ugly; they can actually be a bit of a trip hazard and can lead to more expensive damage if water gets underneath the surface. We offer a full range of tarmac repairs and driveway resurfacing options to bring your old drive back to life. If the base is still solid, we can often perform an 'overlay', which involves laying a fresh wearing course over the top of the existing surface.This is a brilliant way to get a brand-new look at a fraction of the cost of a full dig-out. We also handle driveway cleaning and restoration for those surfaces that just need a professional deep clean to look their best again. If you’ve got a commercial car park or a shared private road that’s seen better days, our road surfacing expertise means we can handle the bigger jobs just as easily as a domestic path.
