Surface Dressing, also known as 'Tar and Chip' can be a cost effective way to rejuvenate and transform an old Tarmac or concrete surface.
The pr0cess involves coating the existing surface using a hot spray appled liquid bitumen, then dressing with stone. Modern bitumen formulations contain various strengthening agents - Polymers that greatly increase durability and longevity.
Commonly used as a dressing for driveways, surface dressing is also suitable to give a 'rural' feel to pathways and private roads.
Different aggregates can be used to suit different applications.
A washed 6mm golden gravel is ideal for domestic
drives and paths, whereas grey granite chips of a larger diameter may be used to resurface car parks and public highways.
