We do have a local place doing crushed and screened tarmac though, not cheap but bloody good stuff.

The ridiculous world we now live in its a waste product unless it has a bigger carbon footprint.

Don't know if they still do, the local cemex where crushing the waste tarmac from the batching plant and returned loads, and mixing it with a little crusher run. That went down nice as the tarmac part of the mix had not been already been laid and compacted.
I`ve put plainings down before, in thin`ish layers and using tack between the layers, once compacted that set well .(Only done it as we had access to plenty of tack).

My whole yard is planings I got a good 400 tonne last year . It does turn to dust after a while tracking diggers and dozers everywhere but you only need to take of a fine layer. We just moved it elsewhere

the biggest issue is keeping it clean I’m pretty bloody anal about cleanliness in the yard so if a digger comes in muddy we park it where it is and stick a tarpaulin under it and dig it off. I then go around picking up any mud rocks

part of the yard is rock solid from a year ago but the main drag where diggers track won’t set. I think if we laid the site again in some qty like a good few inches and did the diesel trick on a sunny day it might have a chance. But laying a inch on top and then adding the diesel just meant it pulled thatinch layer off.in a clump

this was the drive all built up we had to cut it back initially and had nothing to lay on top it was horribl

and now, we even had the loading ramp outside

We’ve got a couple hundred ton sitting in the corner of the yard been waiting to use to extend the yard hard standing. Just need to get my roller going to be able to do a bit more.

You need a wash bay Ross.. I unload everything straight on top of mine and wash straight down before moving into shed/rest of the yard The only real way to keep it all clean.
