If you are not after a tarmac layer on your driveway, another great alternative choice is a rubber driveway.

This is not literally a driveway made of rubber that you remember from school. It is rubber crumb that gets mixed up with normal aggregates and the reason for this is that the resultant product is skid resistant and makes for a durable and hard wearing surface.

This sort of surface is ideal if you have children or older people living in the property as it means the risk of slipping or falling over is reduced.

This type of surface keeps its shape and form and does not succumb to cracks forming in the surface layer. Its durability also protects it against rusting, oil spillages, corrosion and temperature extremities.

Another good feature of this driveway material if you live in an area prone to flooding or standing water is that it is a natural drainer of water. This means you will not be left with random puddles across your driveway surface following any heavy rainfall.

This type of surface is made from recycled tyres meaning you are making an environmentally choice by going for this type of driveway style.

If you already have am existing driveway that is structurally sound, a rubber crumb layer can be applied on top of it, saving you going to the expense of having your existing driveway pulled up.

Installing a rubber crumb surface layer on top of an existing driveway will bring down costs considerably for you.

As well as the structural benefits, there are many customisation options with rubber crumb driveways including a big number of different colour choices and texture styles to choose from. This means you can create something unique to the style of your property.
