What is Tarmacing?
Tarmacing, commonly known as tarmac or asphalt paving, is a popular method for creating durable and smooth surfaces for roads, driveways, car parks, and pathways. This process involves laying a mixture of tar and aggregates (such as crushed stone or gravel) to form a solid, weather-resistant surface.
Tarmacing involves excavating the area, laying and compacting a sub-base of crushed stone, and installing edging stones. A binding layer of bituminous material is applied and compacted, followed by a top layer of tarmac that is also compacted to create a smooth, even finish. The process ensures a durable and weather-resistant surface suitable for driveways, roads, and pathways.
Tarmacing is a reliable and efficient method for creating durable, smooth surfaces that can withstand heavy use and various weather conditions. Its quick installation and low maintenance requirements make it a popular choice for a wide range of applications.
