How much does tar cost?

The price of tar fluctuates all the time. This means that the cost of using tar for a parking lot or driveway changes each year. Tar is made out of the by-products of the oil industry. The cost of these materials is greatly affected by the state of the economy. In addition, the cost of paving an area with tar depends on the size of the area and how many layers are required. It’s generally easier to tar an existing driveway, parking lot or road.

Why is there a lump or crack in a newly paved tar area?

There’s a possibility that the tar surfacing contractor in Worcester did not treat the area for weeds before paving it with tar. It’s very important to make sure that weeds and small shrubs are not growing in the area. Sometimes the weeds are strong enough to push the tar upwards creating a lump or crack. In many cases, the weeds can grow through the tar. In future, make sure the tar surfacing contractor uses a weed/ moss killer before paving the area with tar.

Can I get rid of weeds and moss that are ruining a tarred area?

It is possible to get rid of the weeds and moss by using a chemical substance that kills them and prevents more from growing. The substances can be bought at plant nurseries and hardware stores in Worcester. However, once you’ve used weed/ moss killer, you might need to tar the area again.

How soon can I walk or drive on a newly tarred area?

It’s recommended to wait at least 24 hours before walking or driving on the tarred area. Cars have the potential to permanently shift the tar and create marks. It’s better to wait and allow the tar to settle.

Can tar be laid on top of existing tar?

It all depends on the condition of the existing tar area. If the existing tar is crumbling, cracked or lumpy, it won’t serve as a good foundation. This means the new layer will become problematic sooner than it should. If the existing tar is too far gone, the tar surfacing contractors in Worcester will have to remove it and start again. It will take longer, cost more money and require much more effort. However, the tarred area will look better and last for a longer period of time.

Can a tarred area be patch repaired?

Patch repairs should only be done if a small section of the tarred area is damaged. It’s a great way to maintain the surface of the tar with a quick and easy fix. However, sometimes the patches are visible and don’t look very nice. Some people will not be happy with the patchy look. If the overall condition of the tar is not great, it’s recommended to re-pave the entire area for a levelled finish.
