Tarmac stones lifting in heat - faulty?
Posted: Sun Jun 13, 2021 3:55 pm
Hello
I posted previously about a tarmac drive I had installed in September 2020. We were not particularly happy with it; it sunk in one place and the finish looked "open" and "rocky".
Since April every time there is sun parts of it go a bit soft and stones come loose, with sticky tar on them. I've attached a picture.
My wife wonders if this is normal and just a feature of first summer, like surface stones coming loose. I'm concerned there's something wrong with the installation and it will wear really quickly.
Does anyone have any views on this?
