Which Yard Surface

[Loftyrules]

Looking for opinions and experiences of different surfaces.

I have a yard space approx 100ft x 20ft that I need to surface, currently just down to hardcore, the ramps into the two barns are concreted so for continuation purposes it needs to be a lighter colour which leaves me with

Coloured Tarmac
Concrete
Coloured Resin

The area won't have heavy traffic on it, one area outside my barn will have the most wear as I will be backing my pickup and loaded trailer in there but that's all, the other area will have horses walking on it.

I don't want it to be black or grey so please don't suggest road Plainings

Concrete can't be beat if you can afford it the rest are second best

It's long lasting easy to keep clean needs little maintaince but costs

Any oils spills can be cleaned up off concrete; get somebody with an incontinent engine parking on tarmac, and the marks will be there for the rest of its life,

And by the time you've re-tarred it six times over the sixty years you'll be wishing you'd used concrete in the first place!

If you are going to have horses going over it get it stamped with a cobble effect or a least a broom finish
