Can anyone out there help?
I had 180m2 tarmac drive laid in December by a recommended contractor to the following spec:
Exposed earth covered with Geotextile membrane
Mot type 1 limestone consolidated to 150mm depth
20mm (aggregate size) nominal dense macadam base binder course to consolidated depth of 50mm
6mm (aggregate size) nominal dense macadam surface course to consolidated depth of 25mm.
I noticed a small area of scuffing where roller had finished off and depite the contractor saying it would be OK to use after 24 hours, I kept off the drive for 3 days.
Since then the scuffing has become significantly worse over the whole area and there are parts where the tarmac appears to have gone a dirty brown colour.
Any advice would be welcome.
