Got my house tar macked 2 weeks ago by reputable firm. Last week i saw a lump rising through it and this morning i see a green leaf coming up. I am raging. Just after ringing the contractor and his phone is off. What will the contractor do to solve this promblem? What will he do to stop it happening again?
Ok. What happened here is the contractor didn't put enough coverage of tar on. He needs to have 3-4 inches of tarmac to stop any weeds from coming through. What exactly happens is if its less than 3 inches the light penetrates through the tar and the weed progress from the light of the sun.
Its been well know that the traveling community use 2 inches hence the cheaper price. was it a case that the job was done by the traveling community?
Your going to pay heavily for 3 to 4 " of blacktop, and not many domestic driveways will have these depths.

Who said anything about a driveway?...
Got my house tar macked
Strange! Probably hanging for time to see if the shoot has any siblings.No, was done by traveling community But they haunted me for weeks for the job. Ended up telling them to leave my house and told them if they were seen around my house again, I would ring the guards. Anyway the company rang me back, asked me to put some neat weed killer on it and they would fix the affected area.
Your going to pay heavily for 3 to 4 " of blacktop, and not many domestic driveways will have these depths. Typically 50 to 60mm would actually be the norm (and yes, reputable companies such as roadstone would typically lay this depth). The best advice for good practice, is to spray, spray and spray more in the weeks preceding the blacktop going down, providing of course the underlaying layer is of decent quality.
We have our drive tarmac 4 years now and never once had to use any spray, spray and spray. I know that contractor used 3-4 inches of tar as I watched him dig out the drive to this dept before laying anything.
