In 1901 Edgar Purnell Hooley patented a type o road suracing material called

Tarmacadam which is popularly !nown as tarmac" Tar and aggregate are mi#ed prior

tarmac remains a popular choice is some part o the world" It is considered as the

most popular and cheapest methods o dri$eway suracing"

%lthough tarmac can be laid by hand it is best to use machine" The main issue with

tarmac is that is prone to damage and can be easily damaged by water and substances

li!e motor oil& diesel uel& !erosene and gasoline" %s it is petroleum based the abo$e

substances causes' irre$ersible damage to tarmac dri$es" %s such proper drainage

acility is re(uired so that water is not let on the tarmac or too long thus limiting thedamage"

)or ma!ing a tarmac dri$es irst the dri$eway has to be e#ca$ated" Then to ill it up

stone has to be used" *e#t the tarmac has to be mi#ed with oil and then heated in a

drum" It has to be constantly stirred to a$oid it rom stic!ing" +sing a sho$el the

tarmac can be spread and then using a roller can be compacted" )inally to ma!e the

tarmac e#tra durable Picscoat can be used" I the right amount o Picscoat is used it

becomes more durable" ,enerally a - liter unit will co$er an area between 10 and 1-

m" Then again people can always be hired to do the tas! and a team o around our

men would be re(uired or this job" .hen hiring people always be e#tra careul"There are always shady contractors and i they are hired cost will balloon and the

wor! won't be done properly" /o it's $ery important to do e#tensi$e research beore

ta!en when tarmac is used or this purpose" %s not laying the tarmac properly it might

crac! and lead to moss growth" This causes the surace to become slippery and

accidents can occur while wal!ing on the surace"

In order to remo$e moss rom the tarmac dri$es& at irst the suraced has to be cleaned

by brushing and then treating the surace with an anti2moss agent such as atiace"

This is especially helpul during winter as the surace becomes e#tra slippery during

this time" %lso by spraying anti2moss product such as atimoss 3 moss growth on

the surace can be discouraged"
