Footpath Repair.

    Hi.

    Looking for advice on what options are available to repair a footpath around a house. Unfortunately during the hard frost in 2010 the skin cracked and flaked off. This left the paths very worn and porous looking. I am hoping to tar the drive this year and i was wondering if there was some type of resurfacing i could carry out on footpath first.
    Would there be a tile that could be placed over the path or some type of resin that could be pored over it.
    Online research is throwing up very little.
    Definitely not going down the route of digging out and re doing it. They are in poor condition but not poor enough to warrant that.

    Would you consider taking them out altogether and bringing the tarmac right up to the house?

    Hi. Thanks for the suggestion and you are not the first. I have seen it with this layout in other places and i just rather the look of the footpath around the house.
    Really regret not puting the matcrete on the footpaths now.
