TARMAC DRIVEWAYS ARE VERY EASY AND QUICK TO INSTALL
One of the most popular materials to resurface a driveway is tarmac, as it’s an economical option for homeowners but also very easy to install. Depending on the size of the area, a typical residential driveway can take two to three days to complete and you will be able to walk on it almost immediately after its been laid, meaning little disruption for you and your family. After installation, as a precautionary measure, you shouldn’t drive on it for a couple of days as heavy traffic can cause indentations. A sealant can be applied after the first year to protect it from oil spills.
