With a tarmac driveway it’s important to keep any hard debris or loose material off the finished surface as when trafficked the hard debris will become abrasive to the smooth surface.
The best way to maintain tarmac is use a leaf blower or fan attachment on a jet wash to keep any loose debris from the surface. If using a jet wash avoid using a turbo lance, as if powerful enough it will damage the surface.
A good weed and algae inhibitor is good practice, along with a rinse down with a hose and sweep with a stiff broom. Expect to pay £2.00-£2.50 per SQM for a professional company to maintain your surface annually.
If you’d like to keep your tarmac driveway protected and looking at its very best for longer then we’d suggest an annual application of sealant to the surface, this will protect the tarmac from spillages and other elements such as the weather, while keeping it with a pristine black colour.
