Care guide
Caring for tarmac
Simple, practical steps to keep it looking its best for years.

The first summer
New tarmac stays slightly soft in hot weather. Avoid turning your steering wheel while the car is stationary, and don't leave sharp stands on it.
Fuel and oil
Diesel and oil dissolve tarmac's binder, so clean spills straight away.
Weeds at the edges
Keep the edges tight and treat weeds early so roots don't lift the surface.
Cracks
Small cracks can be sealed. Widespread cracking and sinking mean the base has failed and the drive needs rebuilding.
