I decided today to tidy up the back garden (more a 'yard'). I reckon before we moved in and that was nearly 29 years ago, someone came along, knocked on the door and said "Can I tarmac your garden Mrs". The bloody stuff is breaking up in pieces and weeds are growing through.

Another problem I have is when the leaves fall onto the tarmac they break down and make more soil which the worms love.

It took over two hours to tidy up, good exercise though.
