Renovation of asphalt driveway
I am considering 2 options of what to do with refurbishing / renewing my old asphalt driveway which is slightly damaged / marked in parts- approx 20 metres long.
# One cheap option is to is to place a thin asphalt overlay to the existing surface - has anyone used a local contractor to do this ? And if so, what company did a good job on this for you and how cost effective were they?
# Another option which is cheaper is to apply an asphalt paint over the area ( Resene Blacktop ) and this apparently is easy to apply with a Hi Solid Roller sleeve '
In doing this you are restricted to a black, red or green as a colour , with black being most popular.
Have any of you home owners got a black asphalt driveway done in this way that I could drive past and see from the road? PM on text if you wish
I would appreciate any comments / recommendations on doing this work.- either options
Regards

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
