The typical depth for laying tarmac is between 2 to 3 inches. However, the specific depth may vary depending on factors like the type and volume of traffic expected on the surface, soil conditions, and climate. It is recommended to consult with a professional pavement contractor to determine the appropriate depth for your specific project.
