    Are StimTar’s Tar For Driveways Durable and High-Quality?

    Yes – Our tar for driveways solutions are engineered for durability and performance. Every surface we install is weather-resistant, meaning it can withstand South Africa’s harsh sun, heavy rain, and fluctuating temperatures without deteriorating quickly. The materials we use—such as high-grade bitumen, cold mix asphalt, and advanced tar binders—are chosen for their long-lasting properties. These driveways are also heavy-duty, capable of handling regular vehicle traffic without cracking or crumbling. Plus, they require minimal maintenance, making them a practical and cost-effective choice for homeowners and property managers alike. Whether you’re in a residential suburb or managing a commercial property, our driveways are built to last.

    Weather-Resistant

    Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions

    Our tar driveways are built for South Africa’s intense climate resisting UV rays, heavy rain, and temperature shifts. This ensures the surface remains smooth and crack-free over time.

    Heavy-Duty & Long-Lasting

    Made to handle daily use without wear and tear

    Our driveways can withstand the pressure of vehicles, trailers, and light commercial traffic. With proper installation and materials, they last 15–20 years or more.

    Low Maintenance

    Hassle-free upkeep for busy property owners


    Once installed, tar driveways need minimal care. Occasional cleaning and resealing every few years are enough to keep them looking new and functioning well.

    High-Grade Bitumen

    Flexible and strong binding agent for long-term performance

    We use premium-grade bitumen, known for its elasticity and durability, which helps the driveway flex slightly with temperature changes—preventing cracks.

    Cold Mix Asphalt

    Ideal for flexible application and quick repairs

    Cold mix asphalt is cost-effective, easy to work with, and perfect for driveways that need a fast, strong solution without complex heating equipment.

    Advanced Tar Binders

    Ensures strong adhesion and resistance to wear

    Our specialized binders improve the cohesion between tar and the base surface, reducing the chances of separation, cracking, and erosion over time.

    Paving to Tar: A Smarter Driveway Upgrade

    Tired of cracked, uneven paving blocks? Many homeowners are now switching from paving to tar for driveways and for good reason. Unlike paving, which shifts over time and allows weeds to grow through joints, tar offers a smooth, seamless surface that’s easier to maintain and more resistant to wear.

    Why Choose Tar Over Paving?

    • Fewer Maintenance Issues : Tar doesn’t shift like bricks or let weeds grow through—it’s one solid layer, reducing ongoing repairs.
    • Faster Installation  : Tar driveways are usually completed in a fraction of the time compared to paving, meaning less disruption.
    • More Affordable : Yes tar is typically cheaper than paving. While paving involves individual bricks, leveling, and precise labor, tar is laid in large sections, reducing labour and material costs.
    • Ideal for Larger Areas : For long driveways, parking areas, and sloped entrances, tar provides better coverage and durability at a lower cost.

      The team arrived early, worked so neatly, and even swept up when they were done like they were working on their own home. Our driveway looks beautiful now, and honestly, I wish more companies operated like this
