Bitumen or asphalt in Erina — picking the right one for your block
People in Erina ring asking for a bitumen driveway and half the time the real question is which surface suits the job. They’re not the same thing. A sprayed bitumen seal — bitumen sprayed then covered with aggregate — is cheaper per square metre and works well on long rural-residential access drives, the sort running back off the Matcham side of Erina and the larger blocks up the hill. Asphalt is hot mix laid and rolled, smoother, firmer underfoot, better for a tight suburban turnaround or anything with a steep grade where loose stone would wash off. We do both, so we’ll tell you straight which one your block actually wants instead of just selling whatever we turn up with.
For the long Erina rural drives, a two-coat bitumen seal over a well-prepared base is hard to beat on price and it handles the gravel-to-sealed upgrade plenty of acreage owners want. For the commercial side — the Karalta Road precinct and the trade units off the Central Coast Highway — it’s usually hot mix asphalt for the carparks and forecourts because it takes constant truck and forklift traffic better and line marks cleanly. The base prep is the part that decides how long either lasts, and that’s the same job whichever surface goes on top: shape it, compact it, get the fall right so water leaves the drive. Erina’s about ten minutes from our West Gosford yard. Real human picks up — tell us about the block and we’ll come look and give you the honest call on bitumen versus asphalt.
