Tarmac is a commonly black but occasionally other coloured road surfacing material made by combining solid, compressed or aggregate surfaces with tar and sand at high temperatures.
Costs depend on the size of your driveway, material used, the colour chosen & any base work required. Many people also choose to have block edging around a tarmac driveway.
Tarmac is most commonly black but is available in a range of colours & shades including; white, quartzite, orange, red, terracotta, grey, green, green or blue but different colours often come from specialist companies and will raise the cost of a driveway installation.
The recommended wait time before use is at least 3 days. But, if you have to, it is safe to walk on but only 24 hours after it has been compacted.
If you are resurfacing you do not need any permissions. The only time you need permission is if it is a front garden and if the rainwater is going to be directed to the main drains.
Most skilled workers can lay a tarmac drive within 2-3 days but this is all dependant on the size of the drive, works needed before the tarmac can be laid, compacting times and drying times for the tarmac.
Tarmac requires dry and somewhat warm surfaces to be laid as tarmac will not set correctly in ground that has too low a temperature.
You should expect your driveway to last 12 – 20 years minimum as long as general upkeep and regular maintenance are kept to a decent standard.
It’s good practice to provide maintenance to your driveway usually in the form of regular sweeping & jet washing but to extend the life of your tarmac driveway, you can apply a sealant to its surface.
