After 40years the tarmac on the driveway in front of my parents house is worn and due to it no longer being smooth moss builds up v easily. and can that moss grip, the 2500psi power washer struggles to move it, its easier to move sprayed moss.
Its time to refurb the tarmac. Rather than simply uprooting up the tarmac and replacing with new tarmac has anyone ever used black concrete, it seems to be one of those more modern things for concrete. or even an exposed aggregate finish for concrete
the exposed aggregate is a bit nicer finish that standard concrete.
We dont want any fancy paving pattern on the concrete, just something that is presentable, and is easy keep clean. Its my job to wash it hence I favour concrete. Power washer on tarmac will shorten its life.
I like the concrete idea rather than tarmac as can be washed quite safely with the power washer and no risk of damaging it etc.
Our colour scheme is house painted white and the driveway black and the house and shed doors black and black slate roofs.
No problem with water lodging, big slope water flowing away.
V light traffic on the tarmac, cars only, always clean tyres too.
