Great_scot_selfbuild Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (See attached photo) I’m looking to repair some potholes and general wear and tear along the unadapted lane leading to our site (‘driveways’ seemed to be the only suitable topic area - let me know if theees a better one to ask this in) This deep pothole is on the edge of the tarmac road surface, where it meets the gravel. can anyone advise on the best way to repair this? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice on how you finish the edge to prevent it just crumbling away? (I've used tarmac for individual pothole repairs, but without a firm edge to compact it against, I think any vehicle weight on it would just cause the edge to collapse and push the tarmac out the side).

To do it properly, add a kerb stone or brick edging along the full length, on a concrete bed and with haunching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
