Tarmac is suitable for areas to be trafficked by vehicles, such as drives and forecourts, and can be used for paths, although we are not overly keen on using tarmac for garden paths. The wearing course (the uppermost surface) can be 'coloured' by using a coloured binder, often with coloured aggregates, or by incorporating coloured, coated chippings into a HRA wearing course.
All tarmac should be machine laid by a paver machine. Such exceptions include small areas (such as some private driveways), confined spaces and footpaths.
