To calculate the amount of tarmac you'll need, first measure the area you plan to cover by multiplying the length by the width (in square feet or meters). Next, determine the desired depth of the tarmac layer. Multiply the area by the depth to find the volume needed, then convert this volume into tons or kilograms using the density of the tarmac (typically around 2.5 tons per cubic meter). Always account for some extra material to cover any spillage or compaction.
