The driveway from the lane up to the garage is being put in and it will be finished with tarmac. The contractor has no experience of laying tarmac up to this type of build and has asked how the remaining exposed EPS can be protected and finished.

 

Any suggestions, anyone?

 

 

No experience with this but it looks like you need some sort of metal flashing ? Is that wall going to be timber clad ? 

@JSHarris has pvc trim if I remember right 

Regardless I'd be putting edgings in and keeping surfacing 100/150mm from house with gravel in gap. Pretty sure tarmac would knacker eps

Thanks, chaps. I will ask them to shutter off a gap of 150mm around the perimeter then put an aco drain along the garage threshold with gravel around the side.

@vivienz something like this ?

Yes, I fitted black PVC boards over the EPS, and then used coarse gravel to fill the gap between the house and the patio or paths.  Under the gravel is a layer of terram covered with whacked down MOT1 (just the same as the sub-base for the patio slabs and path pavers/stone slabs).  Seems to work OK.

Splendid - thanks all!
