Our tarmac drive has two round depressions in it, about 18" across and a few

is 10 years old..

I've tried to repair by putting the sort of tarmac you can buy in bags from
B+Q in , but I can't seal the edges, and because it slopes like a beach the
tarmac won't stay on the shallow edges. So I get a ditch that collects mud.

Is there any way to do this properly? Ideally like when they repair roads..

thanks

If you dig a hole you wont have shallow edges. Its what they do with
roads, then they pour bitumen over the repaired edge. I've not done
this myself, just seen the road crews do it.

I presume the ground gave way underneath, so digging a bigger hole and
packing in stone should help prevent this.
