Surfacing a yard
A yard takes heavier traffic than a driveway, so the base is built to carry it. Eddie clears and levels the yard, sets the falls so it drains, compacts the stone and lays the surface with his own machinery.
Tarmacadam gives a sealed yard that washes down. Tar and chip is the good value option for a big area. Gravel suits a yard that just needs to be dry and level.
On a working yard the machinery matters as much as the surface. Eddie brings his own lorry, roller and digger, so the yard is cleared, levelled, based and surfaced without waiting on anyone else.

How a yard is surfaced
A yard carries heavier traffic than a driveway, so the base is built for it.
Clear and level
The yard is cleared and graded with the falls set so water runs away from the doors.
A deeper base
Crushed stone to a depth that suits tractors and loaded trailers, compacted.
The surface
Tarmacadam for a sealed yard that washes down, tar and chip for a big area, gravel where dry and level is enough.
Rolled and finished
Edges, drains and any channels finished before the machinery leaves.
What moves the price
No two driveways cost the same. These five things make most of the difference, and Eddie prices yours for free after a look.

- The baseIf the ground is sound and well compacted, the job is mostly surface work. If it has to be dug out and a new stone base built, that is the bigger part of the price.
- AccessA lorry and roller that can drive straight in make a quicker job than a tight entrance or a run round the back.
- The chip or stoneLocal stone is the plain option. A particular colour brought in from further away costs more.
- DrainageWater has to go somewhere. If the falls are wrong or water sits at the gate, a channel or a soakaway may be needed.
