Spring into action and refresh your outdoor space

As the clocks go forward and signs of spring appear, it's the perfect time to breathe new life into your outdoor space. Whether you’re preparing for summer entertaining, improving kerb appeal, or simply updating tired paths and patios, Booth Tarmacadam is here to help with expert residential surfacing services in Ipswich and across Suffolk.

From stunning patios to durable driveways, spring is the ideal season to plan your next outdoor project - and enjoy the results all summer long.


Why Spring is the a good time for resurfacing work in Suffolk

The mild, dry conditions of spring create ideal groundwork conditions for surfacing projects. The ground is easier to work with than during winter, and projects started now will be ready to enjoy in time for summer gatherings. Plus, by getting ahead of the summer rush, you’ll have more flexibility with timing.

If you’re based in Ipswich, Suffolk, or the surrounding areas, now is the time to book your site visit and get your project underway.


Surfacing Ideas for Spring

Resin-Bound Gravel Driveways

Resin-bound gravel is a top choice for a clean, contemporary finish. It’s permeable, low-maintenance, and perfect for driveways and pathways. Available in a wide range of natural and bold colour blends, resin-bound gravel suits properties of all styles—and it's a popular choice for homes in Ipswich and the wider Suffolk area.
