Hi,

New to this forum â€“ wondering whether anyone can help. A few weeks ago my OH put some moss killing granules onto the front lawn and some got onto the surrounding tarmac and paving slabs. Tbh â€“ the paving slabs donâ€™t look too bad (as the stains are a similar colour to the grey) but on the tarmac theyâ€™ve left 2 nasty yellow stains on it. Unfortunately when the granules got onto the tarmac he just kicked them around hoping they would disperse. This of course made the stain worse. I asked him whether it said on the granule box not to put these granules on concrete/tarmac but said he didnâ€™t know as he hadnâ€™t read the box and had already thrown the box away before I found out.

Help â€“ any ideas as the perfectly nice tarmac now looks awful ?

Many thanks

Its the iron staining, your very lucky your paving didn't come off worse.

Thanks. I might try white vinegar to try and remove. Has anyone heard of tarmac paint ??

Yes there are tarmac "paints" for want of a better word out there. I think Resiblock do one if not them maybe PIC's.
Try a Google search for "Back to Black Tarmac"

Tarmac needs to be really clean and in sound condition before applying.
