Micro Asphalt A Surface Treatment For Our Roads 🌻 Jobs I Look After At Work

[@trollforge]

My Dad was born in the Eastern Townships of Quebec in the early 30s... At the time the area was known as the Asbestos Capital of the world... I remember him telling me that the horse track in front of the family farm was widened and paved after WW2 and by the following summer the road turned green. This was because the gravel used was so high in Asbestos... In the late 70s, early 80s, we were going "Down Home" every year for a family reunion, and you could see where work had been done, (Installing underground utilities) but for the most part the original green surface was still there... How is that for long lasting?

Nice story Tim and we expect over 10 years.

Hi! This is one of the best videos I have seen today! Keep uploading such amazing videos. I look forward to more of your videos my friend. Have a wonderful day! Stay Connected. 😊

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Cheers my friend's.

[@poosmate]

Thanks for sharing. I smiled when you said "Slurry Seal", we were told not to refer to it as that "because it doesn't sound very nice". A very old colleague of mine described it "it looks like gorilla poop" and I have to agree. Every time I walk up and down a certain footpath near my home I think of gorilla poop. Simple things make you smile. Has your company tried that new tarmac that's mixed with graphene yet? Take care, Poo

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

I don't deal with the resurfacing Poo, but they do try many materials to try and help the environment.

Top job Terry 👍 Really interesting to see the process and one of those things everyone just takes for granted

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

So very true Mark.

[@CBsGreenhouseandGarden]

We need you to come on over to our area and fix some roads. LOL... Looks like ya's know how to Git-R-Done. Stay safe my friend!

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

We try and encourage our clients to use the correct processes and more to come next month on other surface treatments.

Great video, also good to see and learn some think new.

Cheers Mark.

Interesting! I never thought about the vehicles tires!

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

It will flattern out as it settles, but does look a mess at the time.

[@sandram1503]

No end to your talents Terry, but I do miss the look of cobbled side roads from my childhood. Showing my age now. Lol.😂

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

They re cobbled the roads in Atherstone and they have had issues ever since then....lol.

[@sandram1503]

@@terrykingsallotmentgardening I suppose it is becareful what you wish for. Lol🤣

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

@@sandram1503 it looked great to recreate the old Roman road, but they didn't have utility companies digging it up in those days....lol.

[@sandram1503]

@@terrykingsallotmentgardening I didn't think of that and what makes me laugh is the utility companies seem to love a new road to dig it up again. Lol.😂

Thanks for explaining this process

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Cheers my friend, many people ask how do I do so much on the allotment's and work and a home life so thought I would share what I do.

Over here in California what they're doing now is resurfacing the roads with old tires well they're grinding the tires up and resurfacing with them they're not laying tires down end in to end

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

It has been trialed here using tyre crumble, didn't take off though.

[@patriciancube394]

I have always wondered what they are using to fix the roads. I wonder if they are using the same thing in my area and how can I find out. Thank you for sharing.👍🏾

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

There are lots of different ways to extend the life of our roads Patricia.

[@AJWGBFX]

How soon to get up here to Lancashire, Terry? We could keep you busy for a number of lifetimes!

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

The contractor moves all over the country, but I stay where I am.....lol

Petroleum is very organic

Well it did start off as forest trees!

The weeds love it and grow like mad after we have done Mark.

You've must have seen quite the evolution in efficiency in your years at PW in the tech. My question is, is it more durable and long-lasting as it used to be ? Is it better or worse? Btw I thought you were retiring in May (22) ? Cheers Terry Jason and Colleen 🚛🦺👑

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Because the materials are now environmentally friendly they don't last as long. The tar that was used in the 20's to 50's caused many to die from cancer. My say I have to work till I am 67.....lol. another 7 years 🤔😦🥶.

Please come and fill our potholes. The roads here are shocking.

Money is getting even tighter these days so picking the right treatment for the right roads is key.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

I look after several different processes Alan this is the second of many, another one to come in April. It takes longer to walk and build these sites than it does to do the job....lol.
