You may have heard a few horror stories about cowboy outfits offering cheap tarmac driveways, and these people typically skim a thin layer of tarmac over the driveway, which looks fine for a couple of days, before it breaks up. To correctly install a tarmac driveway, you must have the following:

- Drainage capabilities
- At least 4 inches of tarmac
