**🚧 ONLY PROPER TYPE 1 LIMESTONE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS – NO RECYCLED RUBBISH! 🚧**
Another quality job completed by Ilkeston Driveways this week for Dave Cooper – a brand new tarmac driveway installed in just 1 week from start to finish! 👌
When it comes to installing a driveway that **lasts for years**, the preparation underneath is just as important as the surface you see. That’s why at Ilkeston Driveways we **ONLY use genuine Type 1 limestone sub-base** on our projects.
❌ No crushed brick
❌ No recycled rubble
❌ No shortcuts
Just proper Type 1 limestone compacted correctly to create a solid, long-lasting foundation for your new driveway.
Why does this matter?
Type 1 limestone compacts far better than recycled materials, meaning your driveway is far less likely to sink, dip, or develop cracks over time. It gives the tarmac the strength and stability it needs to perform in all weather conditions across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.**
For Dave’s driveway we:
✔ Excavated the existing surface
✔ Installed a **proper Type 1 limestone sub-base
✔ Fully compacted and levelled the foundation
✔ Installed a smooth, durable tarmac finish
The whole job was completed within 7 days, leaving Dave with a clean, durable driveway ready for years of use. 🔥
If you're thinking about a new tarmac driveway, block paving, resin driveway or patio, make sure you choose a company that does the groundwork properly.
