BAILLIESTON • TARMAC DRIVEWAY RENEWAL

OLD BLOCKS OUT.
STRONG NEW FINISH IN.

A complete driveway renewal in Baillieston, taking the worn monoblock area through excavation, weed control and compacted Type 1 preparation to a crisp tarmac finish with contrasting block edging.

THE PROJECT

REBUILT PROPERLY
FROM THE GROUND UP.

The existing monoblock driveway had reached the end of its useful life. GMGB lifted the old surface, excavated the area and rebuilt the driveway in controlled stages before applying the final tarmac surface.
