    Gravel on tarmac, best method.

    Have an area of old laid tarmac, use to park cars on etc. It's in good condition, but I don't like the look of it. I would like to have a gravel area instead. I'm presuming I can't just put gravel on top of the tarmac? thinking of granite chipping 20mm ish. Would gravel grids work, or would...

    Cold lay tarmac still soft after 4 months

    So I filled a hole in my drive with cold lay macadam / tarmac that I got from wickes (I prepped properly with aggregate underneath). I used about 7 bags of the stuff as it was a fairy wide hole, I put down around 2 inches of tarmac in depth. 4 months later and the stuff is still soft. I read...

    Driveway - DIY or Not?

    Looking at converting my front garden into a driveway. Considering either tarmac or resin bound. After digger, skip, whacker hire amongst other things, I'm wondering if it's just worth paying to have it done. Does anyone know the going rate per m2?
