How long does tarmac usually last on a driveway?

Question

We’re thinking about replacing our old drive with tarmac and I’m trying to work out whether it’s something that lasts decades or needs redoing sooner than you’d expect.

Alexander · Answer

Hi Abdul, I say roughly 10-15 years.

Dean · Answer

If done correctly 15-20 years, the correct depth of MOT, sub base tarmac and topping tarmac play a massive role on how long your driveway will last for. 
250mm-300mm MOT
80mm sub base tarmac
30mm topping tarmac

Tarmac can last for 5+ years depending on the way it was laid, and which compounds used. The key is how it was delivered and put down.
