A worn tarmac driveway does not always need to be removed and completely rebuilt. When the underlying construction remains stable, resurfacing can renew the visible layer and restore a smooth, consistent finish. However, laying fresh tarmac over a failing base will not correct deeper structural problems. The suitability of a driveway for resurfacing therefore depends…
