I have a bit of a novelty situation.
On one of my sites, pavement layers (crushed stone) were constructed for a new asphalt pour. The asphalt was delayed many months, and weeds have now cultivated on the upper crushed stone layer- see attached photograph.
Construction plant is no longer available on the site.
What is the best way of preparing my site for an asphalt pour? The only way I can think is to remove the weeds by hand, poison and then rip and re-compact the upper layer.
Any suggestions would be appreciated- I'm obviously looking for the most economic option and I don't think the weeds are dense enough to justify removing the upper layer.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
