I successfully repaired two holes and a large dip in the tarmac drive below, at the time the only product I could find was 6mm despite extensive searching.
I cam to the conclusion that I must be searching for the wrong thing, could someone help identify the tarmac size/type in the picture below please.
possibly 10mm close graded? need a steel rule for scale on the pic, preferably a top-down shot (of the drive i mean, not that you need to get your chest out or anything)
i used to love using tarmac, but got fed up with getting my asphalt
Quarry or satellite Tarmac plant; but you'll be needing appropriate transport etc etc etc you really would be better approaching one of the local surfacing specialists and asking them to tag it onto one of their working days when they are using an AC10 material. You'll save dash and have the job done properly.

Our hotbatch plant won't batch anything under .5 of a ton and then it's on a sliding scale the less you have the more expensive it is.
Plus they will only load appropriate transport such as wagons or sometimes they will load a large plant trailer with the wheeled loading, but you have to have full ppe tobe in yard hi viz hard hat etc as it comes out of a hopper onto the back of your truck at what Dave about 100degree +
You're much better as Dave says approaching a local surfacing crew or utilitises repair crew as they'll do anything for pound notes. As the repairs will need cutting square then bonding with edge sealer then filling.
With asphalt you'll never get a harmonious repair it will be obvious
