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

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
