Hi folks,

Looking at having my back drive Tarmacd.... 40m2......needs digging out and all the usual prep work, just wondering what I should be paying per m2. I know prices fluctuate but just a touch idea would be a help.

Cheers, matt

have in the back of your mind that if you ever have problems e.g...water service..gas..drainage tarmac and impressed concrete can't be properly reinstated to the original what has been put down so if anything does go wrong and have to have it dug up.. going have a odd patch... my advice would be lay some ducts first underground... atb

My neighbour had printed concrete - been an absolute nightmare in winter.

 

Probably OK if you have a flat drive, but if you have a slope you may be in trouble. They cover it with some kind of waterproof resin and it makes it quite slippery when wet and like glass if it's even the remotest bit icy. My neighbour had the coating removed off hers due to these issues, and even then, she had to have a hand rail put in to get down the drive in winter. When it's icy it's like a normal drive +10.

 

Prior to that when it was slabbed / ordinary concrete, she had no issues with it being excessively slippery in nearly 40 years of living there.
